Regarding the comic book image: that’s ChatGPT for you 😉 I did ask it for Edmonton, honest I did. I decided it was close enough and kind of comically typical for AI generated images. I like the way the Husky (Calgary) Tower is growing out of my head like a mushroom.
My GPS might be set to avoid freeways, I often have it set that way on my motorbike. But I actually enjoyed the ride, other than the traffic. It was nice to see the river valley and some of the LRTs in action.
