I decided to go out and run a bunch of errands. While I was showering and getting dressed, it suddenly started to dump down snow.

One thing I've been wondering. If the US can spot these drug boats so easily, why haven't they been tracking them and arresting them the moment they land on American soil??

#ArtAdventCalendar painting of the day. A self portrait. I should have painted more but better later than never. Oil on canvas. 12x16”. #TraditionalArt #Portraits #OilPainting
A painting of myself. I am staring directly at the camera in a contemplative way with my head tilted and propped up by my hand. I think I look weary and no wonder with the geopolitical situation. I am wearing light green glasses, a teal t-shirt and a pale yellow hoodie. The background is a pale purple against my dark blond-brown hair. My eyes are blue and I’m wearing a gold chain that nestles into the curves of my neck.

And it's official

John Rustad resigns as BC Conservative leader

24 hours ago, he was adamant he would remain leader #bcpoli
NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 4, 2025 Statement from John Rustad VICTORIA, B.C.: “Today, I am announcing my decision to resign as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia and as Leader of the Official Opposition. When I began this journey, our party had not elected an MLA to the British Columbia Legislature since 1975. We started with very little, but we built a movement grounded in common sense, hard work, and love of this province. Together, we came within one seat of forming government. That progress belongs to every MLA, every volunteer, every donor, and every British Columbian who believed we could do better. I am proud of what we have built and proud of the team of Conservative MLAs who now represent communities across British Columbia. We have been a strong voice for safe streets, affordable living, private property, resource jobs, and respect for the people who build this province. That work matters more than ever, because the NDP is laying waste to B.C.’s economy and the livelihoods of working families. This was brought into sharp relief just this week with the loss of 350 jobs at the Crofton Pulp mill. People who work hard and play by the rules deserve a government that has their back, not a government that drives investment away and shrugs when paycheques disappear. I know many are concerned by what they saw yesterday, but I want to assure every member and supporter of the party that this was not a hostile takeover by BC Liberals of the party. We remain to a vision of elected a common-sense Conservative government in BC. I invite everyone who sees the NDP as a threat to their livelihood and to the dreams of a prosperous British Columbia to join us in the coming weeks and months as we chart a new path forward. British Columbia needs a strong and unified opposition that is ready to hold this government to account and defeat it. I have full confidence in our caucus, and I will continue to support our team as they fight for British Columbians every day. I am deeply grateful to my wife Kim for the sacrifices she has made. I’m grateful to our staff for their commitment and to the people of British Columbia for the privilege of serving as the leader of the Official Opposition.” -30-

On the waitlist for an abdominal CT with contrast, and then probably an ERCP (another gastroscopy). Fun times. Assuming nothing serious but I'll be glad when that has been confirmed.
