3 bands made it out anyhow. Lots of trucks and floats still but turn out was lower and everyone was keen to leave asap

It will be a bit brisk for the Santa Claus parade in Fort MacLeod this morning…

We “win” 🥶

He also fails Gen X, but the Gen X politicians fail us too. Clearly Danielle Smith thought Alex P Keaton was awesome and hung out in very different circles than I did.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

Echidna
Jaguar
Striped Possum
Cougar

(this was a near impossible task!)

I showed my scientific illustration students this example a few weeks ago. Told them they may yet have jobs. Their confidence grew a bit, they seemed reassured.

Bonus points if you can guess who said that and the answer is not Whishaw

4/ I sympathize with the plight of Americans and have posted about my support but like many, many Canadians, would like Americans to step up and support us in large numbers.

If you’re supporting Hoekstra’s and Trump’s inane statements by staying silent - you’re a problem for Canadians.

An elderly faculty member once explained that it is impossible to recruit women to the dept because if they are single there are no eligible men and if they are married their husbands don’t want them going for a beer with all the men in the dept 😐

wtf. That’s nuts. The only thing that could make it worse is having all of that happen and still living in Lethbridge…

I will add that Canadians are not attending because of the ongoing threats to us by the White House and other government officials combined with safety concerns and the inability of many students to obtain visas.

no. Once more it looks like well above normal, adding to the ongoing ecological catastrophe in the Arctic. And our federal provincial governments seem to determined to make it worse while also providing no additional supports to people who live there.

Same here. Very cold and no snow is not helpful for plants or wildlife. From a purely selfish research perspective, if it is dry and extremely cold, few Ruffed Grouse will survive and that will compromise our research plans for April.
