We counted 14 within sight at the same time and all with parallel tails left behind. Looked like an end of times movie scene.

Done! Woke up in St. John's (4 am NST), flew to Halifax, drove to Fredericton to collect my FamJam, and made it to Charlottetown for 9 pm AST... in a mere 17.5 hours. Four Atlantic provincial capitals in a single day. #SocialStudiesNerd #ProbablyGonnaFindaTypoTired

Caught the typo.... all 4* but to be fair it was very early in the morning and I hadn't had a coffee yet.

Anyone know why so many planes are flying parallel over Fredericton right now?

Today I woke up in St John's and by the time I go to bed I am going to set foot in all for Atlantic capitals.

Of machine writing... "It goes without saying that anything so produced would be rubbish; but anything that was not rubbish would endanger the structure of the state." And here we are in the age of AI...

Thank you. We talk a lot about continuity and change in history classes. I might use a single paragraph from this piece for students to pick apart and then try to judge when it was written.

If you love our Fton music scene then make sure you buy your Harvest 50/50 tix! All the dollars support school music programs. Our future Harvest headliners deserve our investment. Brought to you this year as a Mom. I'll see you out there!

Heads-up the Midway at the FREX is closed today and tomorrow. More than a few families wandering the barren grounds with confused ( at best ) or tearful kiddos. The petting zoo and agricultural aspects are open as does appear to be the Dippy Dog stand.

Last year, my husband bumped into the mom of 3 boys he had taught at NHS. He gave her a big hug, she hugged him back, and said how great it was to see him. He asked after her kids by name... they realized they didn't know one another.

After 8 amazing yrs serving the teachers and students of @asd-west.bsky.social I am trying on a new pair of shoes. Starting Monday I will be working for the NBTA. I am forever grateful to all my colleagues and remain a lifetime advocate for the Arts and Civic education. For now this is a 1 yr gig.

Posting this again as the impacts of wildfires are more acutely felt in our own backyard. Proud of my cousin ( who has been in the fire service his entire working life) for starting this initiative: treesonfireapparel.com

Trees on Fire Apparel

Casual wildfire apparel in support of mental health for wildfire professionals and those most impacted by wildfire.

Found an incredible cottage to rent in NS. You have a 10 minute hike in. Enough solar power for lamps in the evening. Lots of fresh water waiting and an ice box. But wait there is more... a tower, stained glass windows, wood panels from Stanton Island! Just what the Doctor ordered.
