After watching the fox in my yard, it seems even more true that foxes are cat software running on dog hardware.

The Waterloo brewer "Innocente" seems to be making a pro-convoy "Freedom Ale". You may want to avoid all future products from this brewery.

I've been trying to remember this song for like 20 years. Finally found it:

Here in Ottawa, Live! On Elgin just hit 10000 tickets sold. Their ticket sales go directly to the performers, so that's pretty cool. I'm glad they're around.

Nap complete, much interest in the birds on the roof, then off on its way.

Seeing a lot more people wearing head protection at curling after a couple of nasty incidents. One of the incidents was a person wearing a helmet and fell hard enough that it was still a potential concussion. Without a helmet it might have been fatal. It seemed to get people's attention.

Going curling this morning. Looks like I could get some practice on the sidewalks

A good news medical toot, for once.

Follow-up lab test results came back and… I don’t have diabetes.

I’m not even pre-diabetic.

The earlier test results were a blip.

I can breathe easy about that one.

Merlin might be my favourite app ever. Just sitting outside, learning the songs of all the birds visiting us. It's the little things!

Also a bee is enjoying the little wood raft (.. it's just a branch) I added into the pie dish that I fill with water lol!

What the frig is wrong with some people?

Bloody rage-a-holics mad at the world and totally nuts.

Road rage. Raging at service workers and retail clerks. Raging at unhoused people. Raging at recycling bins.

Now I guess goslings are too “woke” and it’s animal cruelty that’s all the new “rage.”

I hope they throw the book at this uncivilized dumbcluck.

My brain just puts the n in whenever I read "a historic" I'm not even sure which way I say it. Obviously the n is not necessary as we pronounce the h here, so I think I, at least sometimes, say "a historic" but my brain 100% thinks it should be written "an historic" and just subs it right in so I read it as "an historic" regardless of how it's written.

I had this night #bird chase some bugs at 1am. Is this a night hawk? It doesn't fly or look like a bat. #ottawa #birding

Edit to add a picture of a night hawk. Maybe it is a night hawk.

Taking great delight in replacing Windoze 11 on my laptop with Kubuntu. I have half a dozen other computers running a mix of Linux and Windows 10. I will see how Davinci Resolve runs under Kubuntu.

I have never seen that before. One of the squirrels is laying down on the top of our fence, with one.. paw? leg? hanging down. Just like cats do lol

The topic of first concerts we saw came up today and I was floored to realize that today is the thirtieth anniversary of my seeing Pink Floyd in concert at the Big O (Olympic stadium) in Montreal.

What a band to see live. And really set expectations way too high for other concerts.

What was your first concert?

Someone here had a very cool Fringe planner posted last year. Anyone have a link?

I've used #MacOS for my day-to-day work for a good 35yrs. I've had a couple of brief clusters of years where I had to use a Windows at work (but still had MacOS at home).

I've installed #Linux on many old machines to extend their lives a bit, sorting through distros, finding one that would work on limited resources with good results. Fun stuff.

But I'm curious to ask a QUESTION about new computer purchases…
