Yeah I don't mind it. Some people are freaking out over it but honestly I don't care. If I spend $2 a trip but that saves me say 30-60min of my time that's much more valuable than $2 considering the wear and tear on my car. Most people don't think that way but just freak out over $2 because it's $2 they now have to spend.

Great way of looking at it.

A little more dynamic than google maps but you have to make more turns

The 401 is worse and worse everytime I'm on it. I try to avoid the 407 because is $32 a trip. But I'm using it more and more because otherwise it makes my normally 3 hr trip turn into 5-6. Srs. You used to be able to time it… and as long as there were no massive accidents you could make decent time through TO. Not anymore. It's either fukked, or REALLY fukked.

It isn't in my hands, and like I said it's just a few taps. I know the location of what I use the most by heart.

Also where my phone is mounted is on the vent between the wheel and radio, so it just looks like i'm just changing channels or something.

After that widely panned eulogy statement by our PM on Fidel, #TrudeauEulogies became a thing on twitter. Dying at some of them:
Often misunderstood, Godzilla's contribution to urban renewal in central Tokyo is hard to overstate. He will be missed. #Trudeaueulogies
Mr. Ponzi, a hard-working Italian immigrant, ushered in a new era of financing techniques now used by governments worldwide #Trudeaueulogies
"While controversial, Darth Vader achieved great heights in space construction & played a formative role in his son's life" #Trudeaueulogies
"Mr. Stalin's greatest achievement was his eradication of obesity in the Ukraine through innovative agricultural reforms."
"Viktor Bruchanov, Chernobyl nuclear plant director who generously created 2,600 km2 wildlife refuge, dead at 80."
"Today we bid farewell to Genghis Khan, the former Mongolian leader best known for opening new trade routes to China."

I do love the look of snow or ice on tree branches; the only unfortunate thing is when they drop a load of snow on your head.

Last night I tried pulling an all-nighter to research and write an essay due at 10am this morning but it took way longer than I expected and I was gonna miss the deadline…
And that's when the blessed weather gods sent another blizzard (worse than the pic above) and classes were cancelled and now I have an extra day to finish it!
