@Ferencz @Technodon @GottaLaff A friend’s brother literally dropped dead at a family bbq: he was 32 and fit and had a massive heart attack. He had no history of heart issues. You can’t judge health issues by weight.

I suffer from "what's around the next corner, on the other side," so in some circles, I am renowned for my 3 hr 15-min walks. :)

I am already starting to feel it, but it was a lovely trek.

"Why do your text messages not show you talking to your best friend about being raped?"

Perhaps because while men may brag about conquests, women tend not to brag about having been raped and may take a while to come to terms with what happened.

Asshole.

This was only a matter of time: "Several conferences relocate north of the border as Canadians refuse to travel to the U.S."

@BruceMirken @w7voa This admin is certainly showing all the gaps in procedure that the founding fathers left to civility.

@GottaLaff I suspect the no record thing was intentional. A lot of the stupid is intentional, being dismissed as incompetence rather than deliberate.

Any Americans watching Canadian news: here, red is Liberal, blue is Conservative. It's opposite to you.

"Your cultural foods are not the problem, it's just that society hasn't yet found a way to profit off them."

"If your cultural foods don't come from one of the 21 countries of the Mediterranean, it does not mean that your foods or culture are unhealthy."

Basically, limit the ultra processed foods and enjoy your meals.

Everyone should experience at least one major blackout to understand how much our world depends on electricity, from gas pumps (and now EV ones), to CCs, store transactions, just everything. Street lights, elevators, grocery stores...phones, internet...

Then prepare accordingly.

A little rolling shutter... :)

A lot of history in this venue, some big acts have played here, notorious for Margaret Trudeau partying with the Stones. It went through some ownership changes, was almost shuttered, but was then bought out by a "Dragon" and was reopened. Haven't been to it in a very long time, but way back, it was the first place I went to a date on with my fellow in Toronto.

Cherry St bridge. This bridge lifts to allow shipping traffic through.

This was a truly amazing burrito place. It had very limited counter seating, was mostly takeout, and their spin was Chinese Mexican fusion. Anytime we headed into the city and passed Greenwood, we would stop in on our way back home. So good. Sadly, they didn't survive covid. They had been expanding to new locations before the pandemic hit, and, well...who could've planned for a pandemic. I thought the takeout part would've helped them, but, nope.

Shoot the world around you, because as stable as you feel it might be, the world changes. MTV was a fixture in Toronto until it wasn't.

This was taken with a DSLR but brought into my iPad to play with the photo apps.

One rainy night.

Moments after this, they both just flew off. The tide had covered their beach and it was either float or fly.
