@Dianora Holy just saw this. @YurkshireLad

@Dianora I've since seen a couple videos of it and yes the snow piled all to the side was clear enough. @YurkshireLad

@WarnerCrocker Just checked Apple maps and Gulf of Mexico in place.

Good morning good Masto folks. Whew tough weekend with all the US fuckery knocking on our door here in Canukia. It's still here but somehow or at least for now feeling a little lighter.
Photo taken by me - 10th line heading north out of Georgetown/Glen Williams. I love this particular view during all seasons. I have no idea who lives here but it's just the prettiest little stone farmhouse.

@bmacDonald94 I don't have a membership anymore but a friend picks up items for me on the regular which many $$s of savings from even the lower priced grocery stores I shop at. @Rose

@Rose Worth it for the savings. Filter the email to the trash. @bmacDonald94

OK I have a question for folks that use the #FireStick
I got a text from a friend who isn't tech savy asking if I've ever seen anything like this. He'll be watching something YouTube on his TV via the Firestick and this woman will show up on his screen for 5 minutes sitting knitting locking everything up then she's gone.
Ideas? Anyone know what's going on?

Happy Friday

@joeo10 With Covid of course the work from home thing happened here in Canada as well. Now the companies including the govt are having people return to work. I'm sure I'm not the only person to notice the mass exodus of people who sold their homes in or near the cities to move out to small towns where they could afford a home/nicer home. This blew up housing markets in small towns too far for a reasonable commute to the cities on the daily.

@evelynefoerster @HistoPol @MaJ1 @NormanDunbar @DoubleTreble @skyfire747 @si_irini @mina I'm sorry to hear about your cat Eve. Pets make their way deep into our souls and leave a hole when they pass on.
