It’s a weird location. Technically near the skytrain, but not easily reached by foot.

Jug Island, in Belcarra, looking into Indian Arm I think. It’s a beautiful sunny day with blue skies and calm water.

Today started with a beautiful hike; followed by the first lawn mow of the year; then 4 thrift stores in DTNW with my kid. Pretty much a perfect Saturday.

For me it’s been mostly happy accident. I’ve usually been rewarded when I’ve taken a risk, quit something that’s not bringing joy, and try something new that interests me. It’s not a destination, but a journey (cliche, I know) because what works today may not fit so well in the future.

Be interested in people. If they’d rather be alone they should choose that.

I’ve never figured out how it works. I’ve been tapping unsuccessfully all this time.

Borders are fake, but peaceful borders are better than perpetually warring fiefdoms.

I like this, it’s like the ethical standards that self-regulated professionals are expected to honour.

Reddit is the worst. You click on *one* post about curling drama and your entire feed becomes curling drama πŸ₯Œ

As an occasional lurker there I think the mods have had to deal with a not-insignificant amount of made-up-drama

They’re flooding the zone with so
much shit. Everything is terrible in its own right and also a distraction from the avalanche of horrible shit they’re doing. (They being people with power)

When I was a small kid I found my grandfather repairing his watch in his basement. I thought it was wizard-level skills then and I still do. Very cool hobby!

Today, we mourn.
Tomorrow we begin a campaign to put Catherine O'Hara on the twenty dollar bill.
