Thomas Müller has been signed through the 2027 #MLS Sprint Season. When the ‘Caps first signed him of August 2025 they had this awesome, pretzel-abundant catering from MunChi Foods and I think about it often 😅 It’s been so exciting to watch him play for @whitecapsfc.com #VWFC in #Vancouver.

I haven’t been to the USA departures side of YVR in a while but the Starbucks is now a Purebread Bakery Cafe with good coffee and treats. And they have decaf unlike their Mount Pleasant location (last I checked). Also I will always appreciate the free luggage carts at YVR 🫡
A bakery display case stacked full of cheesecake, squares, cookies, muffin, and pillowy meringues. Behind the counter is a Canada flag. A long line of YVR branded luggage carts in an airport with shiny wood flooring

I enjoyed the 90 seconds of No Use For A Name’s Invincible that Chris Shiflett played last night at the Foo Fighters show, along with the reference to Sno-Jam ‘96 in Vancouver. Our (super fan) nephew is visiting and got us all tickets. It was strange to be at BC Place and not watch soccer 🥹
From the very back and stop of a stadium packed with 50,000+ fans as the opening act arrives on stage. Silhouettes of fans in the foreground in the dark venue as the stage fills with smoke and lights when the opener comes on. The roof of the stadium is open and its nighttime

Same, buddy. #vancouver #art
Concrete being poured into a giant silo that has been painted to look like a character wearing a green shirt. It was part of a Vancouver Biennale mural project. The character has a green shirt, yellow face, wide, toothy smile and eyes almost shut as though bracing for impact from the concrete pour. A dent in the silo also seems like the character is shedding a single tear and is just so over all of this hence the tone of the caption. There is the tip of a condo tower visible in the background and a bright blue sky around the silo.
