One of the things I've really enjoyed about my recent contributions to The Canadian Encyclopedia (@historicacanada.bsky.social) is my recent run of entries on scientists and such who have admirable, inspiring qualities. Which, in these times, is a relief and offers some hope.

(The ship is the Norman McLeod. People are making jokes about it being larger than the current Boblo car ferry)

As this ship heads north along the Detroit River, plenty of people are watching it sail by Navy Yard Park

Honestly, this may be one of the loveliest Thanksgiving weekends I’ve enjoyed in Amherstburg. Perfect weather, nice scenery, and being in a town that feels the most alive it has ever been in my lifetime.

The gateway to the former Boblo Island, now a residential community. For time in the past, you could use the ferry to discover the island’s historical riches. Perhaps someday that will be the case again.
