True Story: I went for a short walk and my @fitbit.bsky.social told me “slow down, you’re exerting yourself more than usual”

I knew it was coming. Today, someone asked me if I was related to FBI Director Kash Patel 🫥

*no

I’ve reached the age where I recognize more people on the “in memorium” segment than sitting in the audience

I think they are waiting to get on the plane and make that loud call right before takeoff.

Trying to buy 🇨🇦 (and anywhere but 🇺🇸) at the grocery store.
Why are even store brand pretzels made in the USA?
Withdrawal is kicking in soon.
Where are the Canadian pretzel companies?

Enjoyed Cross Country Checkup today on CBC, @ianhanomansing.bsky.social
I liked the dual broadcast with NPR. And thank goodness most of the US callers don’t agree with the 🍊💩🤡

I’m so annoyed that I did not feel the big earthquake in downtown #Vancouver.
Come on, Mother Nature. I want my money back!! 😒

#EARTHQUAKE!!

Go Sports!

I assume Judge Ali will be fired over the weekend

OMG — an American friend who recently moved to Calgary just referred to him as the Decomposing Jack O’Lantern.
I think she won the internet.

I’ve joined your challenge for the list of books and your reviews. State of the world today, I need my books to help me escape a bit (hi, cozy mystery), but find myself delving into history and seeing so many parallels with the world today.

Historical fiction burn from Louis de Bernières. Can’t really argue with him.

Only two!
👏👏👏🍾
You deserve a reward. Perhaps a new book?

History is repeating again.

Lots of DNF books already this year.
Life’s too short.
Just ask the Doomsday Clock.

Not great 😂

My first attempt at #watercolour might be more abstract than anticipated

*sigh*

Now reading: Recommended by many.

Imagine my surprise at the grocery store when I learned my favourite cheese is from Wyoming.
Wyoming??
Seriously??
Then I put on my reading glasses and learned there’s a town in Ontario called Wyoming.

It’s the “FAFO, hoser” that got me 😂

I can’t wait for the Ken Burns doc about the US-Canada trade war of 2025

Leaving #Hawaii

Computerized airport announcement about an arriving flight delayed due to “angry weather conditions” 😂

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Finished “The Murder of Mr Wickham” today. Cozy mystery mixed with Jane Austen. I really liked it.

Relatable!
(I loved The Appeal)

Excessively Rude!
