31 October 2024 – This little theme launches itself early yesterday evening, as I look out my window at a determined crow, en route his Burnaby roost in the driving rain.

It continues today, happily not in rain, as I walk homeward along False Creek. from the foot of Davie Street.

Where I see:

a seagull briefly resting on Jerry Pethick’s Time Top, en route (as wing direction soon suggests) Yaletown or thereabouts…

an Aquabus ferry en route the David Lam dock…

an impatient dog en route the Coopers’ Park off-leash dog park (once his owner stops fiddling with the gates)…

a flurry of leaves next to Coopers’ Park en route nowhere at all, but having themselves a brief moment of airborne excitement…

a young woman en route an even more limber body, at the Seawall in front of Coopers’ Park…

a Zipply courier en route his client, providing said client (per the website) with “a zero-emissions delivery solution,” all this in front of Cirque du Soleil’s production of Echo, en route (but not until February 2025) Houston, Texas…

and finally…

bus-riders, motorists, cyclists & pedestrians, collectively en route…

to everywhere they want their Compass cards, fuel tanks, legs & lungs to take them.
