"So I went off like a spod to get you a picture of a BC traffic light man.
Walked up to the traffic lights and noticed that in Vancouver - quite possibly THE most politically correct place in the world - our traffic light man actually has mood swings.
At some crosswalks he's all chipper. At other crosswalks, he's not chipper at all. He's downright grumpy. What's that all about? "
(I should point out that this is the friend that I cheerily offered to 'hop on a train' to visit, only to subsequently discover that it takes four days to get from Montreal to Vancouver on a train, if not more. Ah, brave New World!)

man, there's nothing better than those german traffic light people. i think they're small children, dressed up in adult clothes, like you see on those smarmy hallmark cards.
i'm gonna have to see if minneapolis traffic lights even have people on 'em. they chirp (so blind people know when to cross), so nobody needs to look at them anymore.
Well written article.
