Well, after a bit of a hiatus which included 2 months of studying and then about of 3 months of waiting, excruciating waiting, my exam results arrived last week.

Frankly, wasn't sure I had it in me.

Congratulations Beazley66!

I don't think we will see any more residential developments from him. Whatever wealth he has left will be lost in civil lawsuits I have no doubt.

Hopefully the guy goes to jail!

Has anyone ever noticed the giant MAINSTREET billboards plastered along 26th Ave SW? Mainstreet owns a bunch of apartment buildings along there and they have these massive signs on their front lawns. Well, they did.....

I complained to bylaw a couple times about them as I have always thought there were way too big to be legal. They're an eyesore and completely unnecessary. Well it turns out bylaw agreed with me and had Mainstreet remove their obnoxious billboards.

+1 for the little guys

This was kinda cool to see. For a second I was like “wtf are we getting a commuter rail without me knowing?!?” Haha. They’re just obsolete Seattle Sounder commuter trains.

Anyone else notice their tap water tastes more like the river lately? I can smell it when I shower as well....

Yep, picked up a Brita filter last week. A family tradition the past few years. Came a bit early this year though I think.

I'm buying one tonight. We have filtered water in my office and it tastes much better!

I find by the time you're supposed to replace it (~2 mos) the water is back to normal.

Are you guys having a literal “water-cooler” discussion?

 

[Mountain Man]

Haha, figured this was the appropriate place

 

[UrbanWarrior]

That's funny I literally saw a post on reddit about this five minutes ago then I see this. Yeah I did notice it's gross. Will be back to normal soon. Just the dying/decaying leaves and algae in the water every autumn. Gross but totally harmless.

I noticed this last year, but don't recall it happening before that.

I suspect it's a function of our record low river levels

My wife's been complaining about the taste of the water lately even after being run through the Brita. I guess she's not crazy.
