Actually sod this. Social media - while still being great for being "up to date" - has been increasingly stressful and frustrating to me. So going on a Twitter Break for a few days, or a few weeks. Or however long. Until I say differently / delete this tweet. U all be well folks.

@simonbwilson @arnie03 @AklTransport @nzherald Next time they will simply keep the fences up 6mo longer rather than allow use before formal opening my worry about what AT will learn from this kind of media. If you don't allow someone to fail even if they fix it...

[Max Robitzsch @MaxRobitzsch]

@simonbwilson @arnie03 @AklTransport @nzherald You can be cynical and wonder whether AT would have decided to fix it if people hadn't complained - but isn't this like blaming the trade that the shower leaks while he's still under the house laying pipes? Unless AT / cycling budget bears the cost, what is the problem here?

@chimenesuleyman Lot of courier freight goes in (the freight compartments) of passenger airlines. Not so many of those flying atm. Still waiting for a November parcel from Hong Kong that is literally being ship-ed over...

@GrumpyYetAmusin And starting only in in 10 days!

We all remember when Jacinda gave that Monday press conference and told us about "the coming Lockdown, but no worries it's still two weeks away..." eh?

@jdeheij @stateless @DarbyatCouncil @jobartleynz @richardhills777 @pippacoom @HendoWest @tauhenare @efesocollins @phil_goff The K Road Business Association DID protest though (though apparently they since came around more). @simonbwilson

@arnie03 @carolgreen @jdeheij @stateless @DarbyatCouncil @jobartleynz @richardhills777 @pippacoom @HendoWest @tauhenare @efesocollins @phil_goff No, actually turns out this WAS Auckland Transport (but yes, related to CRL).

@ScootFoundation Not residential but I once did a report (with evidence surveys) showing the a car park provision of only 7% of what the rules required was sufficient. Cost them a lot but gosh the cost of the several dozen car parks extra would have meant zero investment.

[Max Robitzsch @MaxRobitzsch]

@ScootFoundation @FrankMcRae And should have made him legally impossible to ever claim any sort of libertarian politics. Hypocrite. Can't even be consistent on his fu*&÷ery.

Today we went and presented to @AklCouncil with our @all_aboard_akl allies about the urgency needed to decarbonise Auckland's transport by 2030.
Here's how it went down: https://t.co/VTRY5synZD

@ColeyTangerina Yes - I like it. You can celebrate it as a seasonal / symbolic event or as a spiritual event as well, as you prefer.

Separated at birth?

This same spot two months ago...

It's getting rather dry again folks... thankfully the huge amount of rainwater tankage we put in last year means we can give our trees a bit of a top up every week. Mandatory for the wee ones and still appreciated by the big ones like these too...

@BexGraham @schraderism @meanderingemu @calgaryherald Someone who actually has "kind of a dic#" in his Twitter bio is probably more saying it in bad faith than in naivety...

[Max Robitzsch @MaxRobitzsch]

Hi @inkarnaterpg - is there a way to apply a texture on top of a stamp? I'd like to give some roofs and stuff a dusting of the snow texture but it doesn't seem possible? An option to add?

[Max Robitzsch @MaxRobitzsch]

@brady_nz Especially now that he'll have to push the letters through even narrower slits 😁

Project "confusing the mailman" is going well this long weekend.
