Blue Jays tying the series is all well and good, but my proudest moment as a Canadian was watching Josh Naylor check on Ernie Clement after Clement had tagged him out.
Naylor knew he had just made a huge blunder but his first thought was for a fellow player.

CARELESS SIGN STRUCK AND KILLED BY MOTORIST
Encountered the aftermath of this tragedy on my morning walk. Eyewitnesses confirm the playground zone sign was not wearing a helmet at the time of the collision. #yegbike

The days are now getting longer (at least for my peeps here in the northern hemisphere).
This is the data here in Edmonton. Starting now, sunlight is making a comeback!

With mild weather here in Edmonton following a couple of snowfalls, it feels like the time to bring out this meme I made a couple of years ago.

Yay, regional #transit!
Enjoying a leisurely $10 ride on the GO train’s aptly named Lakeshore East line. Our buddy David Russell is picking us up in Oshawa and driving us onward to his home in Peterborough for a two-night visit.

Visited Dr. Daughter’s clinic (at Sumach Creek Health Centre, Toronto), so all her colleagues could tell us how wonderful she is. 🥰

I heard a rumour that the term "flu season" is outdated, but YEG's recent wastewater levels beg to differ. Get your flu shots, my peeps—and update your COVID vax while you're at it.

Here’s a recipe from my 1940s-era pressure cooker recipe book.
I strongly recommend the final step. Nothing more disappointing than runny squirrel gravy.

With new snow on the ground in Edmonton, now is a good time to remind folks that bikes aren’t just good for summer.
Oh, and you can bike with your tuba if you have one. #yegbike
