So, four weeks ago I posted the then current results of CBC's poll tracker - which had it listed as an 18% chance of the Libs (pre-Carney) forming the next government (82% Cons). Now?
90% likely for the Libs and 9% for the Cons.

One group in Can. that are happy when Trump opens his mouth (still existing in a sense of existential dread and lowkey horror) - the Federal Liberals. This snapshot is from the CBC poll aggregator and shows they have gone from <1% chance to form a majority government to 18% in a 3 week timespan.

I picked up Learning to Crawl on vinyl the other day. Even though I’ve had it on cd for 30 years. It’s just…. Sublime? Deeper? Warmer? 10$ well spent.

The thing about working in museums... project openings sneak up on you years after you contributed.
I'm super proud to have been part of the design for the galleries at the ADC at Lowell Obervatory - it's great to see that they are now open!
