Happy Belated. Hope it was a great day!

TOM URBANIAK: Coastal non-protection could haunt Houston’s legacy | SaltWire Imagine if a provincial government came along and said that we don’t need to implement provincial building code standards or labour standards, despite ...

Precisely how I'd describe much of the Houston government's output. www.saltwire.com/cape-breton/... For those still reading Saltwire.

New Brunswick's giving me hope!

It's been 20+ years and I still can't scramble an egg without thinking of this guy

Lots of times I've wished for a new party to vote for in Canadian politics.
Guessing Cardy and co aren't going to be it though.

My old neighborhood! Best of luck.

Didn't know I was this old.

Uugh. Terrible.

Managed an MMR shot today!

I have an appointment at 11:10.
I knew this when I got up this morning. I got a reminder too.

But here I am double checking my appointment time, again.

I spent too much of my life thinking The Kinks were just Lola.

I keep forgetting to come here and do things.

6 or so years in Fredericton. No recollection of this sculpture.

It is a texture thing! Absolutely addictive.

Don't know what it is with baking gums, but planning to only have a few never works.

So one of the neighborhood kids goes out of his way to walk across our front step nearly every day. NBD, but a lot of little kid effort considering the snow.

Noticed this week, he's doing it to dramatically flip off what I guess he thinks is a security camera near the door. I like his style.

Men's Health How Repeat Covid Infections Can Harm Your Health They might push up your risk for diabetes and other chronic problems.

Why You Still Need to Take Covid Precautions You’ve likely stopped masking and might not think about Covid as much as you used to, but it remains a major cause of death and disease, Dr. Friedberg says. Still, Covid seems to have joined the ranks of other respiratory and infectious diseases, like the flu, that are here to stay, Dr. Loafman says. However, Covid isn’t necessarily following a seasonal cycle, like the flu—instead, it keeps hanging around with new variants emerging and periodic spikes happening. So, it’s crucial to keep following all the guidelines we’ve learned over the past four years to protect yourself and others. Stay up to date on vaccines, Dr. Loafman says, and if you do get sick, wear a mask and stay away from others. “Each infection is like taking a chance at the lottery,” Dr. Friedberg says. “The odds are a bit better than they were three years ago, but there is still a chance you could end up with serious illness..."

I think it's a positive sign that such a large consumer-focused outlet like Men's Health is warning its readers about COVID reinfections, Long COVID, and is recommending masking in 2024. More of this, please!

I didn't think I was old but, "young fella" has been creeping into my vocabulary.

Whoa. I was reading this post at the exact time the clue played.

Perhaps a relative? It is a unique misuse / mispronunciation.

Rural New Brunswick, near Sussex.

In university, I had a roommate who, whenever I did laundry, insisted I folded my sockens wrong.

A word I never heard before or since, until now.

It's January and my backyard mint is growing better than my indoor plants.
