Hoping for 🎶nothing but blue skies from now on🎶 I post boring bits of my life & anything I find interesting. If you followed me from the old place because of hockey; don't bother. I stopped watching hockey a few years ago. Pronouns: she /her

No. You will never convince me. That's swans are anything other than ugly birds. Ducks, ducks are wonderful!

This reminds me of all of the times that I argued for a downtown arena in Edmonton. All of the car-centric people wanted it to be somewhere where they could be huge parking lots.
I'm glad we got it right with respect to location

In Toronto, the stadium is near the country’s biggest transit station and now surrounded by dense urbanism. Sometimes we get it right.

World Series, Stadium Edition: Rogers Centre vs. Dodger Stadium 🤔

Nice shot. Even if it is a swan. One of my least favourite water birds

$70 million for Turkish Tylenol, millions more for a war-room to promote oil & gas plus paying out 2 coal companies $240 million dollars this year for flip flopping on contracts but tell me again how the UCP Gov’t can’t afford to give our teachers what they need 3 weeks into their strike.

The line has been drawn.

If Premier Smith invokes the notwithstanding clause, expect an unprecedented provincial labour strike that will shut down the entire province.

Democratic rights must be protected at all costs.

Again, just guessing but my experience with the staff at those clinics is that they want to keep people healthy. I believe many of them are as tired (or more) of the games as most of us are. They are caught in a system

I am just guessing but the process to pay for your covid vaccine if you get it at one of the public health clinics is that they are going to bill you. So, that agreement is probably an agreement that you owe the money. It sounds as if the actual bills are going to come out of a central AHS billing

Also, the 'we' in your initial post might be misleading🤔

I'm pretty sure there's a rule that says that no discussion is needed as long as you are already a dog household. Unless, you are proposing bringing in two or more dogs at the same time, then perhaps you should mention it. I think that's the rule 🤔😀

Love corgis. I hope this works out

My doctor is always behind schedule. Part of that is because she actually spends time with her patients and many of them book an appointment for one thing, and then bring something else up. She cares. I never mind waiting

That sounds painful, even when I read about it.

Impossible to capture, but the sky has been putting on a show in pink, orange, and purple for a long while. Fantastic sunrise!

A picture of this sunrise in the distance with buildings in the foreground. You can see the towers of the ice district in Central Edmonton

I saw activity there a few days ago - things going in the back door. Good to know that corner will be occupied again

A short video of the sea of people at The Legislature and more arriving.
The UCP is going to order teachers back to work. This government is so frustrating

Also, that word should be have not has. I'm trying to type while walking

Karen Douglas 🇨🇦 @karenbdc.bsky.social · 1d

The Legislature grounds might has more people right now than they did for that first protest. I had to hustle to get back from my appointment over by Bonnie Doon, but I can walk fast! It is great energy.

This house has Halloweened! The last time I walked by, there were were little dog and perhaps troll figurines out front.
Now it is all skeletons and tombstones. Great job!!

The front of a house that is set quite far back from a street. There are a series of steps that go up to the house and in the flower beds next to those, there are rocks and a lot of Halloween decorations

Can we talk about laudanum??? I mean - there was a cure all ... 🙃

Karen Douglas 🇨🇦 @karenbdc.bsky.social · 2d

I know this habit ... It is my habit🙋

I feel the need to point out that if we count the number of words that you are writing on here, it won't be a problem.😀
Procrasti-writing is real.

My brain just interpreted a 'Fall prevention' headline as being about Autumn. I wondered how they were going to stop fall (the season) from happening.
Then realized they meant fall prevention; as in, do not fall down.
English is not confusing at all 🤔

Sending you best wishes for a good day. Long work days are tolerable if they feel productive and positive. I hope that the conference conversations make you feel appreciated.
