I see that you received an energuide sheet for the house, so it is certified as NetZero? Are you aware of any benefits to going through the certification process?

A few years ago a lady was hit and killed in the crosswalk on 85st, just west of BD Safeway. Police/news report, ‘speed was not a factor’. Sorry? What exactly is the legal speed limit through an occupied crosswalk?

I need to work on the volume of my muttering…the kids have amazing hearing…when I’m not asking them to do something.

The way she keeps harping on costs being passed onto consumers is infuriating. Of course input costs affect output prices. But that’s only a problem if you think carbon emissions don’t come with a cost…and if you think that you can GFY.

Just make your own and put it in whatever size jar you want. Bonus, no non-recyclable plastic cups.

I’ve never been, but now I’m looking forward to giving it a try when I’m in the office next week.

Ah, the memories. Always loved listening to that song on the 8-track in dad’s truck, “…we fired once more and they began a runnin’, down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico”

I don’t have many followers there but I’ve been picking up, I mean blocking, a couple a day recently. Generally they follow ~6.2k, have 0-20 followers, and zero non-thirst posts.

Garmin clearly doesn’t know snow. I shovelled the pad beside my garage, sidewalk around the house, to the front, front sidewalk, neighbour’s sidewalk, half of next neighbour’s sidewalk…and my Garmin watch buzzes with a ‘Move’ reminder because I’ve been too sedentary.

The worst I experienced was waiting to cross 83 st from BD library to Dermot District park. Four trains, two each direction before I got a walk signal.

The media you posted is just a black box for me but with, “The extended periods where it’s frozen in all directions”, I’m going to assume anywhere along the Valley Line. Compare it to the Capital Line along 111th St; as soon as the train passes signals start changing.

Today wasn’t a complete write-off. I hung my Christmas lights and made some bread.

Our 5yo, while doing an extra lap after xc ski lessons: “I love winter!”

Thanks to Edmonton Nordic Ski Club for all your snow-making efforts and lessons.

Enjoying the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Hollywood for the Holidays with my son. No shade to rest of the orchestra, they’re all great, but the best is the ‘dance’ of the percussionists; no sitting down on the job.

Crowd sourcing an appropriate punishment. My son turned off ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ to play ‘Blippi - Vacuum Truck’ on repeat.

Had to stop mid-climb on this morning’s commute to record the event. First ride: Mar. 18/21. 10,000km: Nov. 7/23.
