Makes sense... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

In my case, I'm on a well, with sand based soil in most places

Everything I spray anywhere either goes into the tree roots or is filtered back down to the lake.....which filters back into the well๐Ÿ˜…

Every once in a while, watering is required... It takes quite a bit of water because I suspect the trees take it all๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I raked all the dead grass off and move the sprinkler every 40 minutes

I always put on podcasts to go to bed.... 25 minutes in, and wide awake now๐Ÿ‘€

Gaming the plausiblity of whether they'd use something so earth shaking to close the authoritarian takeover gap before a midterm. They're not competent enough to control what could happen in the fog of a shift that crazy

When you mention there's a great podcast at the end of your show but don't plug the name of it to search for @chrislhayes.bsky.social

I wish on the owl part!

I only seem to get owls in the winter.... they go way deeper into the nearby woods for summer nesting

Likely how it was

Likely how it was

Yes... The Ottawa River was surely glacial cut through granite and bed rock

And actually, you can get hints of what it was like after the glaciers when the water was way higher by looking at the map. My guess is the river split originally, and my whole area was under water

Map

Map

I'm probably just the small convince store, really...

The pond I'm on is around 2000ft by 600ft, you can barely see it in this map, but there's a giant river and an actual lake nearby! The Bald Eagle and Osprey just visit here and there out of continence, but prefer the giant water (I think)

Anything that begins or contains the sentiment of 'fuck all the way off, america' is generally useful in MOST circumstances....

So, Fous moi le camp, les Amรฉricains... or something along those lines

This morning, I tried waiting for a photo opportunity of the bear that's been staying in my woods

No luck... Of course! it doesn't work like that๐Ÿ˜…

Instead, in the same part where the bear has been, I saw...

Update, he's still here! ๐Ÿป

I went outside this morn to make sure no trees were damaged from #OnStorm

The bear slowly walked across the driveway into the woods when I was returning insideโ€”forest on both sides of the driveway

The ultimate home security๐Ÿ˜‚

It looks adult, but young, big but not beefy

Ottawa summer weather is a lot like Florida

It rarely just rains

It climbs up to 33c with 50-80% humidity (feels like 42ยฐc)

And then explodes ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The plant was located in the municipality of Kvasiny at the time, and the entire company had been nationalised as of 1946

I've never seen before! They were imported and sold by a private importer in Montreal at the time and held a strong cult following

No idea how many would be left in Canada, let alone fully restored

14,863 Felicia's were built between 1959โ€“1964 by then communist Czechoslovakia
