Happy Halloween!

Wispy clouds appear to be exploding from the top of a tall tree as the leaves start to turn red.

A moment of peace in a quiet backyard when it feels like all hell is breaking loose.

They had friends nearby.
Protect your peace. Stay strong. Find allies. Never give up.

Look who I saw on my bike ride.

Long-term cognitive impairment from covid? Many students drawn to felxible on-line asynchronous course?

Start with: 100% support access to education & education as basic human right to frame question: 10% of my class of 270 students (more than ever) need accommodations. Happy to do it. Anyone seeing a trend? Why more? More accessing education (I hope yes) that didn't in past? Something bad? Any ideas?

Does anyone know where I can find videos and pictures of cats? Also ads for casinos? Can't find them anywhere.

I grew up riding that trail riding from central etobicoke all the way down to the lake and beyond. Some wierd and frightening bits. Good for you (and all of us) that you saw someone who needed it and helped.

I have the chest freezer. No utility sink yet. Every time I see a utility sink I think of my great grandmother and her sink and how she always had a giant block of homemade soap on her utility sink in her basement. Ready for any manner of emergency that required some scrubbing.

The Lorax (the book and the character) was the first and probably greatest influence on me as an introvert acting and reacting in the world. Glad you spoke with kindness and knowledge to someone who was willing to hear.

Screen cap of weather app for Glasgow in july 2023. Rain rain rain and more rain forever. Chance of rain between 73 and 95%. High of 18 or 19 and low of 11 or 12 every day.

Love Scotland. Ran a great course on human anatomy and origins of forensic anthropology/science. Did a screen cap of weather app on last day. Can't argue with the consistency. Would like to go back soon.

Since I seem to be the only one to listen to my own "wise" councel (🤣) I've established myself as my own garden hermit in a nice rustic garden in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommend it.

I use this example often in my courses to explain the importance of research for the sake of research. Ask great questions, apply them to new things, and find something that will (eventually)change the world.

Nonviolent noncooperation!

"TOO (!?!?!?) many pedals and amps"

I don't understand this sentence.

I bought myself a bright red whammy pedal for my living room. Also making my coroner of the world a bit more colourful (visually & musically writing & recording a protest punk album). Also peak middle age. How are you coping with a crazy world and middle age? Pass it on...

Yuck! Gross! 🤮

Gingerbread!
🤣

Enjoy a sunset. Small things that keep us going in dark times.

Gen x rocking with gen next. They'll come around to great music.

I've given up and just walk defensively. Assume no one will stop. Couple of weeks ago I was crossing the road holding the hands of each of my children and the three of us were almost run down by a cop car (not an emergency and no lights flashing) proceeding through a stop sign as if we didn't exist

Racialism and racism are huge problems in forensic science as well.

Up to your eyeballs in crazy? Enjoy another sunset.
