I did a whole assed 3000 level virology course back in the 90's that boiled down to viruses and cancer, cancer and viruses. This has been known...

They're funny. And they've apparently decided that I'm not threatening. This fella landed on the water barrel, hopped down onto the tires, hopped up onto the garbage can, then down onto the concrete before going for a peanut.

You may be able to find this stuff at the drug store or Dollarama. It's way cheaper at UFA...but, comes in 4"wide rolls that you have to cut down yourself. I forget what they call the human sized stuff but, at UFA it's called Vet wrap. Only sticks to itself. It's the best for taping fingers.

Vet wrap, specifically sized for ouchy finger wrapping.
Star at the tip and wrap to the base.
Not too tight though.

Such bravery from these ...people...

The document claims 45 Albertans in fields including banking and currency, law, international trade, First Nations and policing contributed to the preparation and review of the package.

However, the identities of those individuals were not made public.

Wilson said confidentiality was put in place to ensure contributors don't face "cancel culture" or harassment.

What a coincidence...I wasn't even playing.

@scottjenkins67.bsky.social has blocked me.

Oops...spoke too soon. Apparently, we have a bushy tailed tree rat named Chonk...

The only other wildlife I could get a pic of was this little bear that followed me home.

On those rare occasions when I stop...sure. Didn't get pictures of the curious cows...I may have been a little outside of my element though

Unfortunately, my phone camera is not great for astrophotography... But, yeah, that happened.

So jelly. I've been putting peanuts out for over a year and all I get are Blue Jays...like Scruffy...

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll (if you feel like it)

Yeah...I was never a gym rat either. Until I had my heart attack (relax, it was an NSTEMI, the "best possible" kind of heart attack...) Quit smoking (they wouldn't even let me out of bed until after the stent), changed my diet...again...and started working out in cardiac rehab. Things change

A gym in my bedroom?
Cable station, free weights, kettle bells and plates...the more you look, the more you see...

Curiously enough, yesterday's Dollarama impulse buy was a laptop camera cover... Say hello to my little friend

Somewhere, in a drawer in my kitchen there's a sticker that says, "Women who behave, rarely make history." And, not that you need my validation but, I wholeheartedly support this idea.

You might think that I could search my Google photos app to find one of the many similar pics that I've taken over the last decade.
But, you would be wrong.
All I got was selfies...

Since when am I a gym rat? Eh...it's only been a month or two. We'll see if I can make it stick.

I've been out of the lab for...20ish years and this scene in Project Hail Mary provoked a visceral reaction and an audible "No!" when I saw it.

I haven't had any in years but(t!), at the time, it was the highest caffeine coffee available. I had to stop buying it cuz I couldn't justify spending $28 for 300 grams of coffee when I could support a local business at $22/lb (454g)... Good coffee though

For some reason, I couldn't include my clown horn in the previous post...whatever...mixed media FTW!

Everything new is old again 'er whatever. TL/DR the used exercise bike I picked up for my home gym (no, I've never been a gym rat...ever...) sucks. Makes my legs hurt because the seat is too low and too far back. Ye olde Brodie Rocket...rides again...
