Normally I dislike the sound of lawn mowers when I am trying to work but “Baaaa” does not bother me in the slightest.

It is nice to be in Quebec for the weekend even if it is -28. Wonderful Montebello!

Bonspiel right on Lake Windermere last night as part of the Snowflake festival. Check out the Darth Vader curling sweater.

The grave of my great uncle Addison L. Riley in Smiths Falls ON. He contracted tuberculosis on a troop ship headed to England. He never saw battle but died for his country just as surely. So many young, brave men.

Every time I drive past the Flat Earth Society sign on the QEII on my way back home from Edmonton to Calgary a little voice inside of me says “fair enough”.

Gander International Airport. The International Lounge is open to everyone and it is a retro jewel. I visited this summer and imagined the weary & terrified travellers in this space 24 years ago today.

It is a gorgeous shot. It is not mine! I should have credited Kurt Stegmuller whose pic I found on the website peakery.com. Apologies to Kurt. My best pics of Assiniboine are moldering on an old inaccessible computer. Here is one from much further away and one of Robson which is another favourite.

Cloudy in Montreal but wonderful to be in this beautiful city. A welcome respite from the constant drama that is Alberta.

Smith is highly sympathetic to these far right sensibilities & is seeking to normalize them. Look at that star-struck grin in pictures, from Peterson to Trump, to Carlson to Breitbart and now this. She displays such a lack of judgment.

All I am asking for is one damned weekend where the premier of my province does not make me nauseous with her bigoted ideas and lack of judgment.

My sisters and I stumbled across the online yearbook for our mom’s class at West Hill school in Montreal. Guess who else we found?

The unveiling of the picture of Violet King that hangs in the Bennet Jones Lecture Theatre at the UCalgary Faculty of Law. Violet King’s daughter, Joanne Henry, is second from the right in the back row along with members of the Calgary Chapter of the Black Law Students Association. March 2023.

If we are building more power lines, can we at least take inspiration from Iceland?

This recently popped up in my neighbourhood. Anyone else noticing these? People seem to be using it as a Little Free Library but it seems intended to help keep community members informed about local planning proposals.
