Governments in Victoria and elsewhere are cutting speed limits on neighbourhood streets
Hi there, you handsome devil! It’s mid-morning, and here you are in the kitchen, sporting what poets might call a “furrowed brow.” Now you’re staring at the sink, wondering: WHY? Are you hungry? Did you forget where you left your keys? Is it Mother’s Day again?
Whoa, Dave! That was bleak and mostly untrue. I blame a 10-minute walk on the beach at Qualicum, which resulted in three weeks of what sufferers in the previous century called “sciatica” or “lumbago” or just plain “ARGHHHHH!” A large part of the natural aging process involves joints and muscles and nerves seizing up. Worse, this is also true of our brains.
Think of the neurons in your brain as people in a sports stadium doing the Mexican Wave in the 1980s, unless that is now considered a racist term, or a racist decade. Anyway, for the Wave to work, everybody in the stands has to be in sync, willing to jump up and spill beer at exactly the right time. Victoria will impose the 30 km/h limit on the Burnside-Gorge neighbourhood this fall, followed by Oaklands in the winter.
