Found some absolute treasures today...really pumped about these ones. The vinyl is in exceptional condition for all of them.

Spotify Wrapped says my listening age is 70… Apparently I’ve been living in the early ’70s musically. Maybe it’s time I actually turn on the radio someday.

After a busy week it was nice to have a quiet day putting up the tree. As you can see, George appointed himself artistic director, and was quite excited with the whole process...Murphy just did Murphy stuff as usual. When we finished we had quite the session of Sears Christmas Wishbook poses.

We seem to have some young Jackrabbits living on our front lawn. The little guys have been there for several days. Looks like a grown up stopped in to check on them.

These guys woke me up this morning. I had to take the photos through the window otherwise I would have scared them away.

Alberta separatism polls are getting wild. This is all over on other socials. Not only are they asking if Alberta should leave Canada… now they want to know if you'd move there after they do.

A screen shot of a Meta ad. Pictured are Mark Carney and Danielle smith, with the question " Should Alberta separate from Canada?"

This partridge couple seem to live in, or near to our front yard. We see them just about every day. No one is more excited to see them than Murphy !

The independent vote in Carleton only amounted to 892 votes...the NDP, Greens, UP and CFP only amassed a vote total of 1964 between all of them...even if Poilievre got all those votes ,he still lost by 1459 votes.There's no conspiracy.

Imagine thinking Canadians would jump at the chance to trade universal healthcare and maple syrup for school lunch debt and whatever Florida is doing. Hard pass, buddy.

Twice yesterday, while driving on the bypass, Google Maps told me to 'exit in a quarter mile.' I use it daily and have never heard that before—all my other directions were in metric. Just a glitch?

I'm looking forward to finding out who the candidates for the federal election are in my riding. My current MP is the guy with dual Canadian/US citizenship that pretended to be an insurance broker who's boss was a paperboy.
