If you’re in Winnipeg, we sent some warm weather your way. Should be there tomorrow.

Love,
Edmonton

I’d also like to mention that @drdagly.bsky.social would be so chuffed with me that I’m out on an analog studded fat-tire in the winter.
It’s the most fun I’ve had doing 9km/hr.
Thanks Dr M, I miss our talks.

I popped into Superstore on the way home from an appointment in the west end yesterday... I picked up 3 items & emerged to a whiteout.

I popped into store for all of 10 min yesterday on my way home & emerged in a white out. Thankfully I was close to home.

Very icy on MUP as I made my way to @coffeeoutside.bsky.social this morning. Temps in the -20c range without windchill factored in! My perseverance was rewarded.

Dear Winnipeg:

If you’re enjoying the snow squalls we sent you during the night, I thought you ought to know we’re sending some crisp temps tomorrow.

Love,

Steam the whole shitteroo.
Cool it off, squeeze out juice & freeze it in mini muffin pans (or stick it in a ziplock, flatten it & freeze it.) You can β€œsnap” pieces off if you use the latter method.

7 years ago in the early morning, I left an oatmeal cookie for the doc at Ezio Faraone Park. He came by hours later AND ATE IT!
If it was an oatmeal/raisin cookie, he would’ve left it.😬

Excellent idea! If it wasn’t for protected bike lanes & excellent MUPs, this former Winnipegger would never have taken up cycling in Edmonton in retirement.

Yeah, Dr Markland & others aren’t on Team Raisin but these are delish.

F* them and anyone who likes them.
It is time for ALL Canadians to step up and boycott everything from the USA.
There is a bunch of us who have been doing everything we can, now it is time for the rest of Canadians to do them same.
