Zephyr the black horse looks west towards the almost setting sun, with his eye looking reddish brown in colour. Despite the frost this week, there are a few mosquitoes on his jaw.

Also, Keith Wilson and Tanya Clemens have so far refused to explain why Let Alberta Decide appears to be linked to fake US-generated websites that promote separatism using false and misleading information. 2 www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/04/i...

A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots
The websites present crude, AI-generated slop disguised as the voice of real Albertans. But they're made in Florida — and they're not even targeting Albertans directly.

This is a critical river crossing for those that walk, roll and cycle, as it is accessible and has minimal elevation gain. The one open lane should go to transit and active transportation users, with vehicles being easily detoured to near by alternatives for this short closure.

🚨 Major closure coming to High Level Bridge for active transportation users July 20-22! 🚨 We’ve asked Epcor and @thecityofedmonton.bsky.social to reconsider this plan, detouring vehicles instead of pedestrians and cyclists. Add your voice by sending a quick email to Epcor & your councillor ASAP!

The amount of mosquitoes popping up after all this rain is crazy! Zeff briefly came out of our horse/cow shelter to get a treat and a bite of grass and was covered in them in seconds. I tried to wipe them off, and it was back to the shelter for my itchy boy. #yeg #alberta #mosquitoes

Alberta’s Bill 25 is nothing more than another blatant attempt to try to erase queer and trans persons from public life. Teachers and students are very creative. They will find ways around this draconian ban, because you can never ban pride or erase 2SLGBTQI+ people.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out in the home we found for Kilee. He's not a good fit for them and their cat. He needs a home without other pets. Once again, I am looking for a new home for him. Vet says he's in great shape. Loves people, house trained, doesn't bark or chew.
