Apropos of nothing important. But that's a good enough reason.

In Iceland, grass needs soil consisting of volcanic ash to grow - not that common. This chain fence protects the grass from people. There are no fences along the rivers and waterfalls and viewpoints, though. If you're dumb enough to fall in, that's on you. But don't walk on the grass! Gotta like it.

Deer Park Golf Course, 8:30 am on the pond between #2 and #16. Haven't in 50 years seen a pelican there, but there it was.
Dixon Lanier Merritt's poem, often attributed to Ogden Nash, begins: "A wonderful bird is the pelican, his beak can hold more than his belican."

A new podcast from YorktonStories.ca... hockey legend Metro Prystai, born and raised in Yorkton SK Canada, talks about life before, during and after hockey. He played for the Chicago Blackhawks and @detroitredwingsnhl.bsky.social, where he won two Stanley Cups and was an all-star three times.

@cbcnews-rss.bsky.social, quit talking about "western" secession, for f*cks sake! It's Alberta. There's much more to the West than the rednecks pushing it there. It's not on in MB, SK, BC, YK or NWT. If AB wants to be a third world country or 51st state, good luck.

I'm not Catholic but I appreciated the late pope's concern for the many among us who have too little to survive on. On the other hand, his church owns treasures and property worth billions. Imagine if it had sold off even some of those wordly trappings... what that money could have been used for.

From Swiss Miss Mud Hut at Anarchist Mountain just east of Osoyoos BC on highway 3. Thanks, Aninna, for making me one in orange (in recognition of my land of birth) instead of your usual red or white in recognition of our Canadian flag.
