Silly little 250.

Candice was once surprised by a beaver walking by a bus stop on Heron near Walkley. The beaver was pretty surprised too.

I wonder if 10 pm is the police shift change?

I’d suggest it’s a bit more challenging that way. Especially the time a group of us stopped at the top of a hill for a rest and to wait for the rest of the group to catch up, and as I stood there beside my bike not putting any weight on it, the back tire suddenly exploded.

Another time coming down at twilight, I was surprised by a beaver dragging a shrub across the road.

At one time I was dating a girl whose apartment overlooked the Queensway, and we heard a whine of motorcycles, and she said “oh, it must be 10pm”. Sure enough, I looked at my watch, and it was exactly 10pm. And there was a contingent of crotch rockets racing up the Queensway at about 150km/hr, and a few minutes later they came back the opposite direction. Evidently they do this every night, or nearly so.
