I think I still have an old NABU TV converter somewhere in my basement. It was ultrasonic rather than infrared so you could sometimes change channels by jingling your keys.

Shame to come this far and not see Cape Breton (Cabot Trail, Fortress of Louisburg). Make sure you get off the double-lane TCH when coming through NB—history awaits you on the back roads.

Oh Mama turtle, that's probably not the best spot to lay eggs. You're on the narrow shoulder of a busy #Ottawa road, mere inches from the edge of the pavement.

Gleaner reports: 'There is also a @cityoffredericton account on Bluesky with no posts so far. McLellan said that “at this time, the city is exploring the opportunities Bluesky could provide.”' Maybe if we all followed @cityoffredericton.bsky.social the city would start using it.

You should give tutorials on how to do that. I avoid Meta platforms, but I talk to so many people that complain about the algorithm and just want to see stuff from friends.

Stephen MacKay @smackay.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

They also need platform that is not controlled by Meta! BlueSky is my choice, but there are others.

While limited, there are other songs to choose from. I can manage 96.5 a few hours longer ...until one of the dreaded songs comes up. Its like listening to Oldies stations where you hear the same song come up daily—there are millions of songs they could be choosing from!

Perfectly demonstrates why I can't listen to 106.9 for more than an hour at a time. The first time "Last Christmas" or "All I Want for Christmas is You" comes on I can't flip the dial fast enough!
