We had a nice time. There were 7 of us on the trip and I was the only one who had ever been to Algonquin before. They loved it and said they will go back.

You miss a lot of the most beautiful photos because you’re busy paddling or enjoying it but here are a few…

Two blue canoes pulled over to wait out the storm. Sky is grey.

Mess of posts and pans, stoves, utensils and a block of risotto rice on a rock. Someone is kneeling in a grey hoodie but you can’t see their face.

View of lake. Pines on both sides, fallen tree into water in foreground. Lake is very still and reflecting the blue sky with pink clouds.

Hand holding orange bowl of oatmeal with nuts and seeds. Trees, lake, canoe in background out of focus.

Sometimes I see a kind that has reeses pieces inside the cups which is like having two treats in one.

I so appreciate your insights, it's very interesting to think of that side of all this and how some of it might be importing in predicting shifts (or not).

Does anyone else feel like we’re loosing evening sun at an alarming rate? I’m sure it’s always like this but maybe the warm weather makes it feel so early this year!

Actually that's the second time this year I missed the deadline to volunteer for something. And I'm not mad, I also understand that organizations need rules and deadlines and process but it's too bad my timing has been bad.

Cheryl White @ladyscorcher.bsky.social · 1d

So at the result is maybe next year. 🤷‍♀️

Just off the phone with the person in charge of recruitment for the org I tried to volunteer with. They are very short handed an a bit desperate for more volunteers but the person who receives all the emails forgot to forward mine to the right person and now I'm two weeks late for the deadline...

You can call enbridge which might be less inconvenient now than it would be in a few months but you also might be without hot water for a bit.

If another woman pretends to know you, go along with it. You may just be saving her life. 💗

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

Please Blue Jays, the dogs are hungry!

Every time the Blue Jays score a run, Fred and Rookie get a pumpkin strip

Fred, a big blonde lab mutt, lies on a grey ottoman, and Rookie, a similar colored min daschund, sits on the floor next to him. Both wait for their first treat after Springer crosses the plate.

If rebalancing were paid in credits or even free I would definitely be interested in doing my runs one way and ride back home. 🏃‍♀️🚲

The US trade war & annexationist push against Canada. H/t @sueinnovates.bsky.social. Apparently, Americans are the victims. Missing, except for a vague comment: 10 months in, there is zero acknowledgement of political agency or the possibility of change on the US side.

I also saw another police officer unscrewing someone’s license plates. Is that something they do when you’re caught stunt driving or something?

Cheryl White @ladyscorcher.bsky.social · 2d

Yesterday I saw a police officer picking up a dog near the off leash and putting it in the back seat of his car. I really hope that pup has a good lawyer for whatever crimes he’s accused of!
