That is an insane price to pay. I've heard of property management companies using a pricing program that compares all other rent prices and basically maxes out the rent. They're using this nationwide now, or so I've heard. It makes sense because they are doing the same thing in healthcare.

I don't know what to tell you. Other than move to a less expensive area. Rent is bonkers now.

I love it when one of the byproducts of combustion, water, creates beautiful lines in the sky

Not in the city technically but Dominick's is frikkin amazing

I bought a Pontiac Vibe. It's a tiny truck econo box thing. That happens to actually be a Toyota. Excellent car.

The AWD Element with a manual transmission was near the top of my list for a new car a few years ago. So useful. But it gets like F-150 fuel mileage while having a 2.4L engine. So that was the killer for me. Still a cool car though.

What part of the city did this happen in?

I live in Hamilton and I've never seen more foxes anywhere in my life. It's crazy. I like them but I have two little dogs so I get nervous about it too.

Ok. I'm not telling you what to believe. I'm just stating my own opinion on the matter.

Just giving my perspective as a former rural dirt bike, and current road bike, rider.

That's not my point. People don't choose where to be born. I enjoyed it as a kid and refuse to be a hypocrite about it. That's it. I choose myself to let them enjoy themselves and wish them well. How others feel about it is not my concern.

Unfortunately I think only those who've ridden or ride motorcycles can truly empathize. Because it's an activity that definitely get out of hand and dangerous. But if there's anything riding has taught me it's that sometimes the bike begs you to be stupid. Sometimes the bike is more persuasive than you are. But riding is a blast and it usually starts on a dirt bike as a kid. In fact it should start that way. Low speed crashes on dirt bikes happen so high speed crashes around cars at 75mph won't happen later.

I grew up riding dirt bikes. I also lived in a rural area. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't accept that people in urban areas should be able to enjoy riding dirt bikes too. Obviously everyone should wear a helmet but I am not the squid police so as long as they're having fun that's fine with me. Also, I still squid around (I always wear a helmet though).
