What sort of an idiot am I? Take a day off for medical shite, then end up at cafe, when what I should be doing is grab a Chablis, go home, munch on some goodies (and gouda) and enjoy UEFA WC qualifiers!! (Go Iceland! Go Norway!...ok...England too :-) )

Dang. Dropped into cafe, seeing as I took the day off, only to be reminded that certain times during the week are impossible waits. I sense a theme building.

CNN: The judge said there was funding available to fully fund SNAP and you didn't use it
BROOKE ROLLINS: That judge in Rhode Island is the largest Democrat donor
CNN: Is it not factual that the judge said $4b could've been used to fully fund SNAP?

Funny system. Hour Bus to specialist for 15 mins to then get referred to another specialist. Then hour back home on bus to prep for another three months wait list. Thank God medical care is (,for now) free. Now Halifax can we make bus fares for seniors free lol 😆

Where a conservative commentary refers to PP and his statements as "an alternative" I get really worried. Are we starting to use the "alt-facts" language? Oh god no.

When I see PP asking who a media person represents before answering a question, I see the same tactic as orange man. Seriously, is this not noticed by others?

I'd like to thank Halifax businesses that waited until after Remembrance Day to show Christmas decorations. I noted one stylish, simple display this a.m. I'm a traditionalist but style is also appreciated (thx Rolex folks...now fix the time on your clock! :-) ...Santa will need accurate time !)

The first sprinkle of flurries fell, and just enough covers the Public Gardens to hint that more may well be on the way. Love seeing this season, not of death but of sleep, to become renewed life in but a few months. I am spoiled by my first and last view of the day.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

#CBCNS posted this rare coloured footage from #Halifax #NovaScotia between 1939 to 1945 during #WWII.
Living in Halifax for over 20yrs, I still recognize the landmarks.
Even #WinstonChurchill is seen in clips. Amazing to see this old footage #RemembranceDay 2025

888,246 ceramic poppies flowing, bleeding from the walls of the Tower of London, 2014, 80th anniversary of WW1 beginning. It was a tear jerker. We were there to remember Uncle William, who was killed in action, October 25th, 1918 - just 20 years old.

Hey Halifax drivers. Yeah, you. I'm seeing you zooming about as if it's a normal night. It's dark as the abyss, foggy as a steamed up car on a date night, and wet so everything shines without shadows showing where people are. So slow the f down. The number of near accidents I'm seeing is scary!!!
