I want to live in a world of equality, justice, & health. Believer in science & nature. Ottawa, ON resident. Sometimes too much Canadian politics & not enough Verin & Tomas. She/her Profile alt: me. Woman with short hair, glasses, & a green plaid fleece.
I heard a red winged blackbird this morning just before the freezing rain started.
Great analogy. Best to avoid the need for the cleansing fire.
Inhaled a wee bit of water just before bed.
Do not recommend.
Lungs not impressed.
Cough. Cough. Sigh.
I get that they'd be considered invasive in Ottawa too. But with the northward migration of Lyme disease carrying ticks, it seems wise to also let their predators in also.
Comfort food is breakfast for supper. The cheese and green onion are well hidden. Homemade goodness.
My best result so far:
I've been amusing myself with dialed.gg but having a rather poor visual memory has resulted in some comically low scores.
It would be cool to get opossums established in the Ottawa Valley. It would really help with the tick problem. Opossum | The Canadian Encyclopedia share.google/hGDxxva2w3cz...
Read "Crossroads" and enjoyed it more than I expected. Still waiting on the other books to be available from the library.
My dental appointment was extra long today. When I arrived, they were waiting for a technician to repair the compression unit for the water.
Currently very nice outside. I saw hundreds of Canada geese returning from their Winter vacation today. They will not be impressed by the icy storm arriving on Wednesday.
holy shit
Went for a walk in the woods today. Wetter than we expected. The relatives I was with were very stubborn so the route we followed involved balancing on logs and wet feet. Thank you wool socks for still being warm when wet.
If you don’t use alt text, please know you’d be so much cooler and looks smarter if you did
I don't really care which. Can we just pick one and stick with it?
Some mornings when I'm making coffee, I wonder about the first person who thought "roast beans, crush them, put them in hot water, then drink the brown water". Genius.
Cool picture. Unhelpful alt text.

Walked along the river near my house. Scared a lot of nervous ducks away from some open water. Saw graphic evidence that at least one turkey had a very bad day. Looks like the local coyote pack had a delicious meal.

It is a bit worrying that Russia and USA may both be determined to get Canada. Do not like these times and the influence of greedy oligarchs eyeing our resources.
Ah, apparently he quite likes that line. I'm not a fan of the Prime Minister casually normalizing a notorious extremist phrase.

Today I saw the season's first reverse shoveling. A beautiful spring like day in Ottawa. Goodbye snow and ice. Hello puddles, potholes and construction.
There is a global boycott underway against Chat GPT. Open AI is working with the Pentagon and ICE. They have donated $25 million to Trump. They are working for the authoritarians. People have the power to resist and send a message to the toxic tech bros.

Weird. I remember arguing with some of my Christian friends about this during the Iran-Iraq war on the 80s. The arrogance of trying to bring forth some sort of prophecy.
I know there are many bigger problems right now. However, curses on the dog people that don't pick up poop on public paths.
