*pushes glasses up nose*, excuse me, I think you'll find that saucer separation was also performed in the season three episode. Best of Both Worlds.

Short exposure (dark) photograph taken from a bridge overlooking the railway corridor in Kitchener, ON at sunset, looking west(ish) with the setting sun just north of the tracks. The foreground is unexposed, with only the tracks showing the reflection of the orange sunlight. Bare trees on either side of the track are sillhouetted against the sky. A few whispy clouds at the horizon accent the sky's gradient from a pale blue at the top of the frame to an orange glow at the horizon.

Took this photo ten years ago (from the Margaret Ave bridge at the ceremony to re-open it to traffic).

OMG FINALLY. Limited to start and no timeline for full 2-way all-day service, but FINALLY something. Really hoping the limited service will have a good schedule. I'll use it so much!

The Waterloo Region ring-style apple fritters are elite. Regular apple fritters are just donuts.

Pro-tip: the fritters at the Kitchener Market are really good too

Pro-tip 2: if you get a chance to have fresh ones with maple syrup, take it

Thanks to Elder and UW Indigenous Knowledge Keeper Myeengun Henry for honouring the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, and for his words of hope for the future. This morning's event included a sunrise ceremony & a #TruthAndReconciliationDay walk around the Ring Road.

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail."

Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.
