screen shots..? I guess...? and forwarding any links the content contained... that's what I've ended up doing.

But yeah, not exactly going to bring new users to the site..

"a whole new way for drivers and cyclists to share the road..."

Seems like a great way to teach drivers it's okay to drive in bike lanes...?

Yellow birds hiding in yellow flowers

Yellow birds NOT hiding in yellow flowers - a little easier to spot!

They were fast and would not sit still... most of my pictures that weren't amongst the flowers looked like this - little yellow blurs across the green background.

Seriously... there are American Goldfinches hiding amongst the flowers. I've included a few that I actually caught NOT in the flowers - which was difficult, because they would NOT sit still for very long at all. I'd spot them, point the camera in that direction, only to have them take off...

Yellow birds hiding in yellow flowers... maybe... I think there was one that maybe didn't have any birds in it that I thought would be funny to put in just to mess with people... it might be this one... please don't explode your brain trying to look for them in this one...

No seriously, there are American Goldfinches hiding in the flowers. Every time I rode past a bunch, a few birds would burst out and fly a few metres down to land amongst the next batch, only to do it again as I rode along...

#RPGaDAY2025 - Day One - Patron

There's a whole story behind her... but it's just before midnight and I have neither the time nor energy to type that out... Needless to say, she is a patron of sorts in an RPG campaign I am currently running.. sort of...

I mean... Yay..?

But also... meh...

It's nice to see movement on these things. But Munroe north of 14th is an exceptionally slow quiet street already. We need to see something that extends south of 8th street to be truly useful.

Baby steps, I guess...?

I do love 14th!

AND... every location mentioned in the book should be ON that map or, when mentioned, it's location should be stated in relation to someplace that IS on the map (i.e. "they went to [new location], which was 30 km south of [place that is on the map!]")

(it was probably the soundtrack!)

We made it through the second and third movies. I don't remember much about them... other than they were even worse than the first one. Just could not bring myself to watch the fourth...

Wow... yeah... I seem to recall really enjoying the movie back in the 90s. Years ago I found a DVD of all four Crow movies for $8 in a bargain bin and picked it up! I'd never seen any of he sequels. I rewatched the first one and... it was not great... I'm not sure what I'd like about it so much!?

I sometimes wonder if adding alt text is really just helping AI learn what's in a picture to better train them to find the things people are asking it to steal and turn into something for them for free.... Sometimes I want to fuck with AI engines by writing absolute bullshit here... like THIS IS A PICTURE OF AN CHIMPANZEE RIDING A GIANT BANANA BEING HIT BY A CYBERTRUCK AND THE CYBERTRUCK EXPLODES... (but really, it's a sketch of an old Peugeot in my sketchbook... does anyone other than AI bots ever read these!?)

There are! We get them every summer. Most of them fly to the interior for breeding. There is a very large nesting colony at a lake just west of Saskatoon and lots of them fly to the city to feed in the river by the weir.

Once, every year, I will spot an
American Mink frolicking on the rocks along the bank of the South Saskatchewan River in downtown Saskatoon.

This year, today, was that day...
