It's a good day to stay inside and have naps.
Exactly what I'm about to do right now.
Naps with kitties while some of the finest music ever composed plays. Purr purr.

Heads up, Ottawa. Strong winds are expected today, which could lead to power outages. Ensure your devices are charged and you're prepared.
Safety first: Downed power lines are extremely dangerous. If you see one, stay at least 10 metres away and call 911 immediately, followed by us at 613-738-0188.

This is exactly how it is.
Looks can be deceiving.
Since it's starting to melt a bit, it's even more slippery.
Now just wait until the flash freeze comes tonight.
So much fun!

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced Canada's future isn't secure unless we re-open the Constitution.
The Notwithstanding Clause has to either go or be severely nerfed and we need to settle provincial rights clearly.

I've been a bears fan since 1985
They were once my local.
This is the most uncomfortable game I have ever seen.

I spoke with a member of the red cross yesterday.
He said at this time of year, 4 out of 5 fires are caused by driers, specifically people NOT cleaning out the lint trap.
You should clean that before and after each uses.
I did laundry last night. Had to run the drier on high.
30 minutes in, (1/2)

Fire at 1173 Summerville
The cause of the fire was a dryer catching fire due to lint buildup.
No injuries were reported.
There is no structural damage to the home.
The restoration company was dispatched to assist in the home.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

While this is very true for how Canadians do it, many scientists have told me there are 2 ways to measure temperature.
Fahrenheit is best for air temp.
Celsius is best for liquid.
That might explain why ovens are in Fahrenheit.

The only true way is the Canadian way
