So next you need to get a shot of some trains, followed by some automobiles.

I checked the RDS app on our Apple TV set top box, here's what it's got coming up at 7pm, does that look like the game you were referring to?

@commonst.bsky.social Though you might appreciate this:
Screenshot of a post from Historic Photographs, captioned "This looks like an ordinary loaf of bread on the outside. Yet inside horrors lurk. It’s a Tuna ‘n Mackerel Picnic Loaf. Straight from the culinary twilight zone of the 1970s." The posted image shows just what the caption described - the loaf is sliced open, showing the tuna and mackerel filling with assorted vegetables mixed in, with a garnish of sliced cucumber on top of the loaf. In the background are smoked fish and green peppers.

I'd like to see signage, in addition to the "Proudly Canadian" ones, indicating which products are from sources other than the US, so if there's not a Canadian equivalent we can at least easily spot the non-US alternatives.
Circle with slash glyph, the international symbol for "Not", superimposed on the flag of the USA that can be used to indicate a product that does not come from America in order assist Canadians to select alternatives to buying American.

I appreciate stores in Canada identifying products from Canada with maple leaf tags on shelves. Be even more helpful if they used this tag for products from all other non-US sources, so we can just ignore anything not tagged at all. Maybe share it around and see if it gets some traction with stores.

Photos from my Motorola Android phone, taken using various modes (regular, night vision, RAW using exposure controls in Pro mode) of the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse last night. @kmatthews.bsky.social and I met one of the U of G students renting in the house next door, she was outside then too.

Yup, we've got a rainfall warning here in Guelph (about 167 miles to the north-east of Parma) as well - here's the Special Weather Statement on the Environment Canada website:

A little "Elbows Up" tweak to the new profile pic.
A red maple leaf, representing Canada, with a circle/slash symbol for "never" overlaying the text "51st State", with a banner in front of the stem carrying the phrase "Elbows Up", a reference to the use of elbows in hockey to discourage opposing players from entering one's space - my profile pic means Canada will never be the 51st state.

That's the milder version of what I wanted to respond with 🤬 TBF, I find SwiftKey *is* better than the default Google keyboard on my Android phone, but I still really miss the BlackBerry screen keyboard for Android devices. FWIW was never a fan of BB physical keyboards but loved the on-screen one.
