Photo taken on this day in 2021, looking over at a lush Ontario Place as the sun set. Today completely denuded of plant and building. Never forget who did this and the local companies & people who made money off helping out.

I no longer take my students to city council meetings because the layers of security theatre eat up a large chunk of our time.
We went to New City Hall last year and I was appalled by the lineup and the security theatre to enter. Once inside it was very nice but the line might not be worth it.

Happy Friday and Happy Holiday Weekend! The rain has mostly dissipated but the clouds persist so I dug back into my archives to this sunset on April 18 I had never posted, taken just south of me in Sea Bright NJ. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great holiday!
