: [WeyburnTerr] Laundry left in Palm

This email is simply precious.


Dear fellow Weybrungians,

I just wanted to alert you all to the existence of about two loads of laundry in the Palm Court laundry room. They have been in there the past two times I've done my laundry.

Judging by their appearance, they must belong to a medium-sized man who sometimes wears boxers, sometimes wears boxer-briefs. (I guess it's good to change it up!) Judging by the quantity, I reckon that this medium-sized man must by this point have noticed that he has very few underpants left (since they're all in our laundry room). Judging by their smell, they have been thoroughly occupied by mildew and mould and must either be claimed and re-washed immediately or thrown away.

Claim them soon or I will donate them to a smell-insensitive/style-unconscious friend! They really stink up the place!

Best,
Alex

Parking Pirating

Juan took me out on a lovely Diddy Reese snack break yesterday. We cruised through the Village, walked diagonally across the intersection of Weyburn and Broxton (thanks to the scramble crosswalk), and observed how long it took for vacated curb spaces to become occupied again.

  • curb space on northbound side of Weyburn between Broxton and Westwood: under 30 seconds at 9PM
  • curb space on westbound side of Westwood just south of Corner Bakery: approximately 3 minutes. We suspect this is due to the vacant storefronts next to this parking space. A vacant storefront doesn't really generate parking demand.
Juan also actively called out drivers for being parking pirates. A parking pirate is someone who insists on stopping his car to wait for a parking space, effectively blocking the flow of traffic, for an extended period of time.

A moment with Sirinya: Jon and Kate call it quits, and why I'm saddened

On Monday night, Juan texted me to announce that Jon & Kate Gosselin, of Jon and Kate Plus Eight, have called it quits. Kate Gosselin filed for divorce. The details are tumbling out.
