The locals were a bit upset with the lack of crossing infrastructure.

Seems like Miss Vickie's is trying to hit that Torres market share.

I'm here for it though, novelty chip flavours are always fun for at least one go.

Doritos Spicy Garlic was my latest favourite.

Rare concert win, no one sitting in the row in front so I get a better view.

There's literally not a cloud to be seen, what sort of weird misinfo campaign is this.

... What? It's beautiful outside.

8PM Weekday games for east coast teams are nonsense, but I'll make an exception to witness Yankee tears.

I installed the app on the Chromecast, this seems more promising.

This app is horrific at casting. Good lord.

Sooo.. if I get a month of Sportsnet+ I'm covered for the Jays post season right? I'm not going to get screwed with a blackout or random missing game?

And so ends the night.

It's October, it's 24 degrees, and I just went for a swim in the Georgian Bay...

So it's time to warm up by the campfire.

Life is good. No complaints can be had.

It's been a bit over a year since I had a slice of apple pie from Winkel 43 in Amsterdam, but the cravings are still there.

This was my best stab after asking ChatGPT to review and compile all the various copycats online.

The crust has blended in speculaas cookies. 😬

I'm actually celebrating this announcement. Best idea he's had.

If only the by-election had required him to vacate his council seat....

Parking enforcement on Shaw/Palmerston is a constant presence but a ticket is just the cost of doing business.

An hour later on Palmerston.... It never ends.
