I'm definitely one of those who believes in slowing it down and taking the road not taken. Soak it in, and just celebrate our magnificent land. 🇨🇦

It's a slippery slope to Gilead.

No wonder the cat is just hanging out in the yard—the whole house looks like it's leaning. Smart kitty. A survivor.

NB has lots of scenery but you have to get off the highway.
