    (In case you can’t tell, I’m the one losing a battle with gravity.)

    What a difference seven weeks make! It’s taken us that long to finish the Alley Walk that was mapped out by Spacing.ca.

    Postponing it for nearly two months had more to do with people’s schedules than the weather, but the warmer temperatures (at least 25 degrees C higher than last month’s outing!) was most welcome! Part I was in the snow, with gloves, scarves, and hats:

  2. Mystery Symbol

    Marin was recently in Paris and took this photo of a group of symbols meant to represent various disabilities, ostensibly for the purpose of giving some sort of discount to those people. The black/white face symbol at the far right is puzzling, though, and a bunch of us were trying to come up with theories on Saturday night to explain what it identified. There was some grasping at straws, however, e.g. “disabled mimes?”

    I posted it in the Paris group on Flickr to see if anyone would have an answer, and I’ll post the response here if I get one. [Update: see comments]

    If you know, do tell!
