I’ve been commuting by bike pretty much year round for about six years and I want to send some love out to the drivers here in Halifax. Thanks for being courteous and giving me the space that I need.

Sometimes I get to work and the weather turns bad. I was riding yesterday during a snow storm and had some genuine worries about getting home safe. Drivers gave me space and passed with caution and I made the ride cold and wet but safe.

Thanks.

I just wanted to thank the students who actually talk in the tutorial I run - It's nice to know that i'm not just talking to myself.

To the bouncers at Peddlars Pub on Saturday night who went above and beyond the call of duty! I ended up being incredibly sick, but instead of piling insult upon injury or just kicking me out into the street as they would have been justified in doing, they let me use the staff bathroom and even helped me make a phone call to get picked up. Despite being incredibly drunk, I still remember how gorgous your eyes were Adam...

I'd like to send out a huge amount of love to the 2 wonderful women who interviewed me and ultimately hired me to work here because they thought I was good enough to be given a chance. I'd also like to thank God for lowly me even being considered. I've been at this job for nearly six months now, and it's the greatest. I love what I do, my co-workers are all awesome and the pay is fantastic. In our economy, I'm even more grateful to have any job, let alone this job, and I just thought I'd make it public.

To the ladies who work at Robin's on North Street,

You ladies rule. Your service is fast, you never screw up my order, and you seem happy to be there. I couldn't ask for anything more. For someone who hates mornings, knowing that I'll have my coffee made perfectly makes it a little bit easier.

Love it! Great job.

To the HOT bus driver of the Montebello Wednesday night, thank you for being the first driver to tell an asshat to turn his wreched music down. Thank you so much, that completely made my night!

To the girl on the Vespa, who smokes as she rides around town, I saw you this past weekend scooting about. It made me happy to see you out and about again, and made me think that spring must be coming. I just wanted to say that I am glad winter is almost over so I can catch glimpses of you and let you know that while I shouldn't admire smoking, I can't help but think you are fucking cool and talented as hell for being able to smoke while you ride and look good doing it. I wish that I could hop on the back of your scooter and join in the fun it seems that you're having.

Lately Metro transit drivers have been taking a lot of flak. I would like to say thank you to all the much maligned drivers who do the very best job they can under very stressful circumstances. Dealing with the public everyday certainly must be very demanding, God bless you all.

My boyfriend pointed out to me yesterday that my ever-evolving garden of plastic toys, trees and flowers was mentioned in a "love the way we love" about the North End a couple of issues ago. When I got home form his house there was a gorgeous note on my porch, signed by "Sarah and Rachelle", telling me that my garden brightens their day every time they walk past. Thought I'd share the love: When I started lining up forgotten treasures in front of my house last spring, concerned friends advised me that they would be stolen within a day. Totally not what happened! Not only do people leave me plastic pirate skulls, poems, paper fish on fishing poles, huge stuffed animals, cassette tapes, plastic busts of Jesus and shelves full of figurines, they also bring THEIR OWN chalk to add niceties to my chalkboard. Many, many people have thanked me for my little garden, or told me how much inspires them. One time a really drunk thug guy started crying, telling me how much he thought about it, how good it was. It is so simple to make others happy by passing on these small, beautiful things. I just wanted to say thank you.
