Wow! 🤯 Never considered that. Good thing owls are antisocial! 😂 Yeah, it is very rarely an overpowering odour. Local cats or bear & coyotes get most involved with it. Here's the black widow with the fam, and a Northern alligator lizard that was poking around her hunting grounds from last week.
A western black widow (Latrodectus hesperus) and egg sac that is roughly twice her size hanging between house siding and concrete steps.A northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea principis) of about 15cm hanging out on a door sill waiting for the light above to come on and the smorgasbord of moths and other insects that go in for phototaxis to begin.

Yep! Can totally forget they are there unless they start their weird trilling or their shadow passes over you. I'm more excited seeing an osprey or hawks now, tbh. You really just need to get yourself a nice larch tree and they will come... 😉

Pair of peonies popped yesterday. 🌺🌺 Hoping they survive the #BCStorm tonight. Eleven buds this year, and only a month or so behind Mr. Pople's prodigious peonic petallage... cc: @theacousticeggbox.bsky.social #PurePeonyEnvy #Peonies

Yep, drinking that one back in college quickly heralded the end of the night for me. I had it again recently in their sampler pack, but in a 355mL can which is much more reasonable than the tall boy or pint glass. They also make a P'tite Maudite, that's pretty good too! The can art is a hoot!
A can of P'tite Maudite, a 4%abv "light" brown ale with an image of modern canoeists, sitting in their canoe which is on dry land and next to a cooler and campfire. The Devil looks down upon them, holding his head in his hand with an unimpressed look on his face.

Maybe have a beer while you think? 😏
A can of "Maudite" beer, a Quebec brewed Belgian-style strong dark (red) ale of 8% alcohol by volume.  On the can is an image of voyageurs paddling their canoe through a night sky as the Devil smiles down upon them.

A damned fine brew!  😉

Mail call: Two fresh copies of NOMEANSNO LPs, ‘Sex Mad’ and ‘Wrong’, the first of which I have owned on two other vinyl pressings, yet foolishly swapped or gave away. Still have ‘Wrong’ on cassette, tho’ #CanPunk #BCsOwn #VinylFetish #AlternativeTentacles
Two unopened copies of NOMEANSNO LPs, ‘Sex Mad’ —with a grimacing yellow “smiley face” giving a red eyed “side-eye” while wearing a fuzzy purple cardigan on the front, and ‘Wrong’ —with the album title in red and a black and white photocopy of man in a black shirt wearing a cow mask and tilting his head to the right.

On pink and white vinyl respectively.
