Some photos from this week, a beautiful pink sun coming up outside my bedroom window. Gleta (Icelandic horse) and her pretty dun stripe and tail. The last photo is Gord inoculating maple logs with Shitaki mushroom spore. We will also have lions mane and chestnut for many years with 22 logs.

Thanks to the Treasury Board of Canada for inviting me to serve as a panelist on yesterday's CCO Day of Learning, which was broadcast to thousands of government communicators across the country. Here are 12 of my comments, which I will attempt to weave into a paper at a later date:

I’ve been transitioning from being a meat eater to vegetarian to almost vegan for many years. I do eat eggs, but I know where they come from and the chickens are free and well cared for. It feels great to eat a meal and know that no animal suffered to put food on my plate.

I’m not much of a baker. I can bake, I just find it’s too time-consuming and I always gain a couple of pounds because I have no willpower. But I’m doing some Christmas baking today - shortbread and molasses cookies. I have an awesome collection of cookie cutters for someone who doesn’t bake.

We need to identify those 1000 agents and compel them to talk. There's gotta be a few that'll sing like birds if properly induced.

Canada’s measles setback is a symptom of deeper sickness
It's a policy failure. But it can still be reversed.

Geez, I still have the tiller on the tractor instead of the snowblower, and I don’t have my snow tires on the car yet.

The front yard looks gorgeous today, it’s my favourite time of the year. The garden is done, and I’m bringing in the last of the squash.

Meanwhile, police departments across the country are reporting that No Kings protesters had zero arrests. Incredible job, everyone! It’s becoming impossible for Trump to sell his propaganda.

The global event worrying American farmers right now is that China has stopped buying soyabeans. By mid-September this year, Chinese buyers had not made a single order

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

This is buddy, a senior German Shepherd that two guys tossed out of a truck on the four lane section of Highway 50. He’s had a rough day but he’s at a shelter now and another nice lady called the police and reported the incident.
