"I'm not really hungry, but maybe just a little nibble." ~ some beaver
A frost-covered tree trunk lies across leaf litter in a wooded area. Two sections of the trunk have bite marks from a beaver, making it look like a partially eaten corn cob. Long wood shavings sit beneath the larger chewed section, presumably because the tree was under-seasoned.

Looks like I'm learning to play lap steel guitar! And yes, I do need a cheat cheat
Image shows a lap steel guitar resting horizontally on a stand. A piece of tape running along the neck has each note marked at the fret, because I only have so much room left in my brain, ok?

Ottawa's coolest cryptid: this Sasquatch supports the Parkdale Food Centre, cycling, and the local music scene. Wanna be cool like Sasquatch? Check out Shanks at McCranks Street Party and Music Festival, Sunday, September 7
Image shows a happy Sasquatch riding a bicycle and waving. He's cool in an approachable way. You feel like you could be friends with Sasquatch. You wonder what kind of music he's into, and where he got that bike. Do they even make Sasquatch-sized bikes? You mark the event in your calendar so you don't miss it Poster reads Shanks at McCranks Street Party and Music Festival - In support of Parkdale Food Centre - 2pm to 7pm - Sunday, September 7, 2025 -McCormick Street, Hintonburg, Ottawa

Postponing tonight's Catbird_band practice due to brain fatigue. We've got some cool stuff coming up, though, including Shanks at McCranks on September 7. Great music for a good cause = fun for one and all!

An unexpected owl encounter is a great start to the day. Barred Owl, Ottawa
A chunky brown-and-white striped owl perches on a branch. It glares at you with dark eyes, wishing you were a tasty rodent.
