Amazing how tired I am after doing some gardening. Also amazing is how out of shape I am after doing said gardening.

So I got a phone call the other day. She started out with "'I've been making so many calls thinking I am going to get an answering machine!" So I told her Yes, I was an answering machine and hung up. Don't try to be "cute" with an autistic. Be direct and to the point.

Thinking back to the people who mistakenly thought MnRNA vaccines would change human DNA I wonder if they thought Spiderman was real science.

"We have challenges" is one of the most used phrases for "We screwed up and have a problem. Sometimes "challenges" is a legitimate term but it's still far overused. Overuse dilutes meaning.

Anyone else remember Jane Perry who was the music director at the Unitarian church? She would introduce the musicians for the concerts the Unitarian church put on. I was very surprised to see her obituary only today.

I don't know who this grey haired expert on CBC news finance is but he said the words "Since the pandemic" as if it was over.

Years ago when that other social media platform wasn't a fascist platform, I resolved to never argue on it. That is my policy here as well. Discourse on the Internet or email or even in snail mail is extraordinarily difficult. (Yes there are records of flame wars from snail mail writers in the past!)
Over a beer or coffee is one thing but in text is quite another I am unwilling to partake in.

Every time I see a lost cat sign taped to a mailbox I remember hearing about the Coyote a neighbour saw in her backyard.

Keep your cats inside for your cats safety and wild bird safety.

I have a small tiny "toy" solar system up (400w solar/200w battery) but looking for decent upgrades. Anyone in Ottawa have experience? I'm OK with some DIY but not sure about roof work on Bungalow water leaks etc.
