The tennis courts by Journey were converted a few years ago. As far as I can tell none of the houses beside it have complained. Granted they are next to the Baseball diamonds.

"Boomers" are actually the only definable generation.... Boomers vs. everyone else really

Generational labels capture some of the basic fact that people who are born in different eras lead meaningfully different lives. But these labels are clumsy and imprecise—and getting more so all the time. They flatten out the experiences of tens of millions of very different people, remove nuance from conversations, and imply commonality where there may be none. The social scientists are right: Generational labels are stupid.

First of all, they are essentially made-up. Baby Boomers are the only currently living cohort defined by an actual demographic event—in this case, the postwar baby boom. As Cohen pointed out in his open letter, the rest have arbitrary parameters and lengths: The Silent Generation was born over a span of 18 years before the end of World War II; Millennials entered the world over a span of 16 years from 1981 to 1996. No official body certified these categories and verified the rationale behind them—they just eventually became accepted after getting repeated over and over.

Tennis players waring with pickleball players on Main Island. Even took it to BC’s Supreme Court. Picklers prevail.

Knot true. Cyclists in spandex kits riding three abreast on narrow two lane rural roads are the worst.

Yeah, I saw one on West Coast Road one day with VEGAN written across the ass of his shorts. Not that I have anything against Vegans. But what would provoke someone into thinking "Hey man, these are some cool shorts. I need a pair."

I'm comfortable enough in my manhood to admit it. I had to let my gaze linger to fully process what I was seeing.

Nothing compared to the meat circus that is a Hockey Dressing Room.
