So maybe people were right to worry about this stunt.

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

Unfortunately I didn't think it would last either.

I just saw this. Can’t say I’m surprised but somehow I thought it wouldn’t happen.

Thankfully my daughter was fine and released a couple of hours later, after a bunch of tests.

Smokey🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 @craigjle.bsky.social · 1d

I tell her about my daughter, as we walk into the hospital she says she'll show me the back way, I joke that I don't even know the main way there. Next thing I know we are right in the ER at the nurses station and she explains what's going on. Never did get her name, but thank you.

Trying to remember that there is good in the world. My daughter had a medical issue yesterday. I had to leave work in uniform and go to a hospital I'm not familiar with to meet her. As I get there I talk to a lady and the reason for the visit comes up.

Uhm that’s more than a little scary on the CI side. Certain countries or people will love that.

I don’t think I’d get any work done with them there. We could use them at our work.

There's worse things they could be singing.

I heard that song a couple of days ago. I swear growing up our kids could recite “Barrett’s Privateers “ word for word. They probably still can.

A school near where I work had, what I assume, was their Terry Fox run in September. When I drove by they had older students at all the major turns to make sure the kids went the right way. The older kids all had signs made up and were really hyping up the younger ones. Made this old guy smile.

Well my day just got interesting tomorrow. Sitting here at work and somehow managed to chip a tooth.

Probably. Or looking at saying this is boring. She’s been a study partner for years now. I swear she could do my job.

Our dog does that to my wife if she gets up in the evening. My cat prefers to curl up by my side when I’m on the computer.

Thanks. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll see if I can find one.

Smokey🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 @craigjle.bsky.social · 6d

Love that idea. I do t know any indigenous people to get one from. The only poppy I normally wear is the indigenous one that you can get from the Canex. I like it better than the ones you get from the legions.

Went for coffee and a snack at a local coffee shop. Love the tradition they do, while they are open on a holiday, it’s thanksgiving here in Canada. It’s the owner and their family that work. They give their employees the day off to be with their families.

I did this for the 2014 home opener. Loved being on the field and hearing the crowd cheer.

Well at least they will be clean potatoes.

To you as well. We had ours last night with our youngest daughter and her partner.

I went digging in some old photos tonight. Found a photo from my NATO cruise in 2006. It was from a day trip we took to Beaumont Hammel. Got to see Vimy Ridge as well but it was getting restored so the monument was under wraps. Hope to get back in a couple of years.

So Trump will declare war on both Norway and Venezuela to show he should have been awarded the peace prize. I think the committee was trolling Trump.

The photo looks amazing. It must have been a proud moment to get your rank put on by your husband and mentor.

This is hard to watch. The fear in their eyes. I don't know how that country comes back from this, not in my lifetime anyway.
