Great show! I learned there's one short clip of the rehearsals, and a bootleg that Martin Short recorded on the sly. Lord knows why they haven't released it. And there was a post-screening Q&A with Jayne Eastwood and Eugene Levy.

RIP the PoMo clock and departure board at Union Station. I wonder what will come next; I can't imagine they're just going to leave the area opened up.

If you see this, post a flower. Commission by Shana. Another year and this pic will be old enough to vote.

It's my birthday today - and Dan's! Alex is baking a cake for him, with Matt's help. Art by @morgdl.bsky.social. www.furaffinity.net/view/66416493/

Alex, an anthro snow leopard, is in her kitchen mixing batter for a cake. Her cat-snow leopard hybrid son Matt is in front of her, hands on hers, "helping".

"What are you doing, Mommy?"

"I'm making a cake for Daddy," Alex told her son. "It's his birthday today!"

"He has birthdays too?"

"Mmm-hmm, everyone does! Including grown-ups."

"Ohhh." Matt looked thoughtful. "What presents is he getting?"

"Well, my present is mostly the cake, but I did get him something small for his model trains. I'm not sure what Vicky and Sophie's mom is getting him."

"Can I help?"

"Oh, I don't know...it's a big job. I have to put it in the hot oven!"

"Pleeeease?"

"Well, okay. Come on up, Kotik." Alex pulled a stool over and hoisted Matt onto it, setting him on front of her. "Now put your hands on mine. We're going to stir the batter."

"Okay!"

Got the rare "yard side of the double-sided platform" train at Davisville. Had to get off since it was going out of service, but still a rare treat.

Part two! Catnseps on the beach. www.furaffinity.net/view/66281710/ Art by @novalynxaartad.bsky.social

Storms in these parts don't last for long this time of year. As the noon hour came to an end, the sun reemerged from behind the clouds, melting away the gloom. And not a moment too soon: watching my brother shoot his shot with a girl he met on the beach wasn't really how I wanted to spend my weekend. So I left him to his flirting and headed back to the beach. Not the beach we were at before, though. The one I favour takes a bit more of a walk to reach...and is far less picky when it comes to swimwear.

Being a nudist isn't something I've been in a hurry to share with my family; my parents would freak and my brother wouldn't let me hear the end of it. There was just something irresistible about feeling the breeze through my fur and letting the water rush over parts of me that usually have a suit in the way.

I wasn't alone in this. The beach had attracted a good sized crowd by the time I arrived, everyone eager to get back in the water after the rain. Took me no time at all to undress and stretch out on my beach towel - wanted to get warmed up in the sun before I got wet. I'm glad I did.

It was like the scene in Casino Royale with Daniel Craig emerging from the water Ursula Andress style. This guy had one advantage over Daniel Craig, of course - no swim trunks. Feline of some kind, but a curious mix...stripes and rosettes. Tiger-leopard? He was light of build, but clearly athletic, with a toned, muscular chest and abs. And if this is what he looked like with "shrinkage"...woof.

He wiped his bangs back, shaking the water from them. Even at that distance, I could make out his piercing blue eyes. I watched him grab his towel and begin drying himself off, soaking up the surface level water. A wave of warmth built on my face and cascaded down my body, and not from the sun. Question was, did I have the nerve to approach him?

Ficlet time! First of three connected stories following my trio's kids at the beach, all grown up. First up, Vicky! www.furaffinity.net/view/66213411/

Vicky, an anthro beagle, poses on a beach in a green swimsuit with white polka dots.

"Red sky in morning, sailors take warning" was the familiar phrase. And sure enough, sunrise that morning had come with a fiery red backdrop. The beach was not deserted, however. Many courageous bathers were still eager to fit in the few hours they could before the inevitable storm.

The clouds started moving in before eleven - scattered at first, but building. By noon, the brilliant blue above was a dull pastel, and the waves were choppy and treacherous. You watched from your seat as the sun worshippers retreated to the covered patios and cafes all along the boardwalk. At last, the beach was deserted, conditions perfect for the beachcombers to move in and see what treasures had washed up. Fossils? Shells? Seaglass? The options were endless.

In no time you were wandering down the beach, metal detector in hand. Before you could get too far in, however, your gaze was caught by a flash of green in the water. And what a sight! You could barely peel you eyes away from the hound that stepped onto shore, well aware of what her bathing suit showed off and accentuated.

"Wanna stop staring and hand me my towel?" she asked with a grin.

Krista's dabbled. I don't know that she makes a habit of it. But every once in a while...

Krista, an anthro beagle, kneels with a spiked collar around her neck attached to a chain. Her mascara is running from tears and she is covered in degrading words and tally marks. Nevertheless, her tailtip is a blur from wagging.

Krista is only visible from the pubic mound down, her rump, genitals, and legs sticking out of a rectangular opening in a wall. She is leaking semen, and a slot nearby with prices is overflowing with cash. A picture above her shows her face with the name Rose, an alter ego of hers. Her tail wags with delight.

Alex would be a natural life model. Art by @morgdl.bsky.social. www.furaffinity.net/view/65905661/

Alex, an anthro snow leopard, poses nude. She rests on her knees, feet tucked under her rump. One hand rests on the ground, holding herself up, while the other is on her shoulder, arm bent. Her face is turned slightly towards the viewer, eyes closed, a serene expression on her face.

"All right class, allow me to bring in our model for today."

The floor creaked under the professor's shoes as she walked to the door of the studio, returning a moment later with a snow leopard in a robe.

Alex strode confidently to the middle of the classroom. She climbed up onto the raised platform and untied the sash of her robe. The garment pooled on the floor where she threw it, leaving her exposed to the students circled around her.

She sank onto her knees, cringing a bit as she put some weight on her bad knee, propping herself up with one hand and shifting her balance to favour the other knee. Her other arm bent up, hand resting delicately on her shoulder, and she closed her eyes.

"All right, you may begin," the professor announced.

The room filled with the sound of pencils and charcoal sticks scratching on paper. Alex held her pose, breath shallow, testament to her years of ballet training.

'Just like being on stage,' she thought to herself.

Greetings from Montreal! Got in this evening, leaving Friday.

A view east along rue Sainte-Catherine. The Dominion Square Building is just visible on the right; the former Simpsons department store is in the distance, converted to a mall with a movie theatre and a Simons department store. The streetscape is soft, with brick sidewalks transitioning gently to a brick road.
