Will it be cold tomorrow? Yes. Do people riding the Eglinton Crosstown need buttons and magnets since there will be no official giveaways? Yes! Happy to do my part. Thanks to @cameronmacleod.bsky.social of @coderedto.bsky.social for the joy to giveaway!

Al is awesome. One of the best planners I've ever met (he's now retired), mentor and reference for me. I've had the chance to go on several of his walking and bike tours. Great example of staying active in retirement. cc @femwriter.bsky.social @jasonthorne.bsky.social

It's my first time in a hospice. What an amazing part of our health care system. I'm very impressed it's very tranquil and peaceful here.

Time for another nautical edition of #RavineRambles

This time paddling newly opened mouth of Don River. Starting at a boat launch in the new Biidaasige Park in the portlands.

This place really is an impressive feat of engineering.

Always like updating my wife when passing by Guildwood and bringing back wedding day memories. Had enough time to get off the train to get the picture but definitely didn't want to miss getting back on since my jacket was inside.
