A Volkswagen ID. Buzz Microbus pulled up beside me in the parking lot yesterday. It was the brightest thing out there. I asked the owner about it & although it cost $$$$ she said recharging it was much less than gas. It was adorable & looked a lot more fun than the garbage can on wheels.

I had to stop at the grocery store late this afternoon. Behind me was a woman with 2 school aged children. The older, a boy about 10, said hi to me, so I said hi back. We had a brief chat about summer being half over then he helped put my groceries in the bags. The kids are alright.

Yes, Niagara Falls is a little cringe with its souvenir shops and the street of attractions reminds me of a midway on steroids but the falls themselves are impressive. Check this off my bucket list.

Retired librarian here. Tried to explain to my husband why this is funny. He didn’t agree.

Here's the thing about all of this, once faith is lost or alternatives are found, and former customers get used to something else instead, they don't necessarily go back to being customers if or when it is all over. Like they may never drink Jack Daniel's again.

For those concerned about the racist display by 3 individuals in St. Albert, AB last week, this happened today. It is -24 degrees with a windchill of -31. Over 100 people estimated showing their response to those 3. From Community of St. Albert Facebook page.

Yet Danielle Smith is doubling down on blocking solar power in Alberta. There are a lot of words I want to call her but smart and visionary aren’t in the list.
“The world reached the stunning cumulative total of 2 terawatts (TW) of installed solar capacity in November last year – a milestone that came just two years after the first terawatt mark, which took 68 years to notch up.”

It’s the S-Curve, stupid: New model predicts half of world’s energy will come from solar by 2035
New modelling corrects “three huge mistakes” underpinning traditional solar PV projections and smashes the myth that global energy decarbonisation will cripple the economy.

Noticed I had a sore throat a week ago. Felt like a head cold by Monday, tested negative for Covid Tuesday, felt worse last night, tested positive this morning. There goes Christmas. Yes, I did have latest COVID and flu vaccines. FML.

My husband was getting frustrated waiting for McDavid to get his 1000th point. He stood up, said “Just shoot the puck” and went to the kitchen, just as McDavid scored. I couldn’t stop laughing.
