So, I had surgery.

All those food issues I’ve increasingly suffered over the last 3-4 years now appear to be the result of a bowel blockage caused by surgical scar tissue that has formed since 2017.

I nearly waited too long to investigate & I am so grateful my surgeon pressured me to let him do surgery.

He operated laparoscopically and WAS DONE IN 45 MINUTES.

I lost 120 pounds trying to solve food-related issues, but if I had not, this quick surgery could not have been possible.

I'm so tired. There's a concrete barricade providing protection to people on bikes just ahead of the vehicle's front bumper. In fact, it was very difficult to get in the protected lane because they're so close. And of course, they've stopped to pick up a kid from the adjacent school. Their magic 4-way flashers are keeping everyone safe and them out of trouble, naturally.

Dangerous, illegal, and selfish.

We just reached peak eclipse in Vancouver, 0.278 magnitude. Here's what it looks like! Amazing! I used the highest zoom level so you could really get a feeling for the moment.

Hey #Vancouver, help me out. Where's a place in the city (public indoor or outdoor) that would make a good "looking down" photo? It's my photo prompt for this week's #52frames.

If you don’t have winter tires, don’t drive. Outside my house a few minutes ago

7.5 magnitude earthquake just off the west coast of Japan near Nagano. That's a big one near a lot of people.

From @Streetsblog, this graphic that makes you wonder about all those Amazon vans driving through our urban centre. Vancouver needs a cycle logistics program. #bikeyvr #cyclelogistics

Also on this day in 1989, 12 female engineering students, a female nursing student, and a female office worker were murdered at L'École Polytechnique in Montreal for being women. 14 others were injured in what was Canada's largest mass murder.

Oh god. From False Creek Ferries on Insta, it seems like a barge has run aground at English Bay Beach. Barge on the Beach II: Nautical Bugaloo. #Vancouver #BargeOnTheBeach

I am trying gabapentin for the first time for my RLS and am tripping balls.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

So someone was like, these fish rocks are cool, they taste kinda sexy and also sometimes they have tiny rocks inside them!?

And now, ten thousand years later, we're like... yeah the rocks are cool, and we eat their insides and that's fun at parties, and also we have developed a social hierarchy based around their interior rocks.

only the angriest, clenchiest ones will do. the bigger the better. oh yeah. make em mad.

Blanketed in smoke, but it's still a few hundred metres up and not at ground level. Forecast seems to indicate that'll change tomorrow. #Vancouver #BCWildfires

Pulled another bucket of cherry tomatoes from our garden plot this evening. We figure we're up to about 5-6 kg of them so far and maybe another 3-4 kg still on the plant. Yowza! #UrbanGardening #Gardening #RooftopGarden #Tomatoes #Vancouver

Fire engine, lights and sirens on, roars down the road in front of our home and suddenly turns off the siren. I look outside to see which neighbour is on fire, only to see the fire engine waiting patiently for a flock of Canada geese to finish walking across the road (in the crosswalk, naturally). As soon as the last one has crossed, it's sirens and speed again.

Incredible scenes of flooding outside Halifax today.
