Halp Vancouverites! I really need to find a celiac safe restaurant that can accommodate vegetarians, that has covered outdoor dining, and that takes reservations.

My supervisor wants to take me to dinner for graduation but it's likely to be raining and I don't wanna get covid.

Update from Vancouver police. 11 people are dead. Others are critically injured. Police say the suspect had a long history of serious mental illness. What an unspeakable tragedy. I learned this morning that my cousin’s daughter had been at the festival, and left half an hour before this horror. Her Instagram feed is full of happy images of the food, the music, the fun. My niece isn’t Filipino - but this was a joyous party that drew many Vancouverites. #yvr

21:30 Saturday - #Vancouver Police posted to the other place: A number of people have been killed and multiple others are injured after a driver drove into a crowd at a street festival at E. 41st Avenue and Fraser shortly after 8 p.m. tonight. The driver is in custody. We will provide more information as the investigation unfolds.

My wife and son are off on a grand trip... and I am jealous, not for the beach they're going to (ok, a little) but for the -- apparently -- brand new transit bus they're riding right now from the Tsawwassen Ferry to Bridgeport station near #YVR! (#620)

We usually travel to Horseshoe Bay terminal and take transit (often articulated #255) in to downtown Vancouver from there.

Charging ports and Reading lights on a double decker bus!!?? WHAAT!
