    If he is not getting in the roadway, where it could be a safety issue for him or the motorists, then whats the problem.
    What is the difference between what he is doing and all the people they have out on the street with the arrow signs and what not. If you cite him, then they need to cite the others.

    Managed to clean up the old, ugly aluminum on the driver's side door frame today. Ran out of wire brushes for the die grinder so I guess the passenger side is tomorrow's problem.

    The pettiness in that outfit is unreal. Their kit needs to start including a pacifier.

    My pleasure— it was an excellent time— The Boys haven’t moved off their beds since we got home so it appears they broke the fun barrier

    Sister shared a thing on our group text about this new “fuel stop”, had to explain to them it’s not new lol, been stopping there for years. I read that they finally blacktopped the truck parking area, that should be nicer….

    So glad flat rate more or less doesn't exist outside automotive. Some of this stuff I'd love to have the guy who came up with the times come do it in a real shop instead of a controlled environment and on something that didn't just leave the assembly line.

    Totally agree.
    He was on an island for pedestrians between the right turn lane and the roadway.
    And he has been doing it for 6 years!
    Sponsored by the local hockey team. He would wear their jersey and dance with an A frame sign posting the start time for the games.

    I find the Fentanyl zombies more dangerous than that and they seem to stagger around, and fold on street corners with no consequence.

    Not that we have fent zombies in sherwood park. We ship those back to edmonton lol.

    Then they ship them down south. The local deer use the crosswalks more often than the addicts.

    I was waiting at a light in Edmonton last week. As we started moving one ran into the street in front of a dump truck beside me. It jumped out of the way of the dump truck, and ran right into the stop sign on my bus.
    We both just drove away and he was spinning between us.

    I had one last year jump into the street, put his head down and run screaming at my bus as I was coming down the road. He leapt out of the way at the last second, but my bumper hit his feet. He was spinning when he landed on the sidewalk. I didn't even think about stopping.
    One of the schools I take sped kids to is the hospital downtown. Fent z's everywhere.

    Here in the U.S., we have people that have “corner jobs” they are in the same spot every day. The signs they hold change, but the bottom line is they want you to give them cash. Offer food or work, you just insulted the king/queen, how dare you!
