Oh, City of Fredericton...no one is going to detour an extra 15-20 minutes and THROUGH a school zone for one week just to avoid a school zone that has been our detour all summer. I get what they want and why, but it's a city road, and there's no reason not to use the roads that are available.
Add ADHD and Long COVID on top of that and it's a wonder I can function at all, let alone at a mentally taxing full-time job as the sole breadwinner. I can't even explain to anyone just how hard it is, especially when I 'look' functional.

Had an early morning rescue mission today. Looked out the window, had a WTAF moment and then had to rescue them. Not exactly sure how long they were in there but they're out and long gone. Going to have to take the whole thing down so it doesn't happen again, or keep the ladder in 🙄
On 9/11 2001, the US closed its airspace after unfathomable terrorist attacks. Flights bound for the US were forced to divert, with many opting to land in Canada. Under Operation Yellow Ribbon, the small town of Gander, NL and the surrounding communities accepted 38 planes. buff.ly/Ugvm4vL

The argument that Donald Trump invaded Canada today is much more compelling than many realize. The border between Canada and the United States runs through the middle of Lake Ontario. By claiming to have the power to rename the entire lake, Trump is claiming the lake. That's invasion by declaration.

GFY Trump 'America'. Signed, a NASTY and proud of it, Canadian.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2w agoDear America Voter, This is what the Trump admin is focused on today, when they aren’t insider trading, making everything more expensive, selling pardons, and taking bribes from cronies. Vote out all Republican enablers of this corrupt and pathetic regime.
UGH Get your shit together PowerBI service. Some people are trying to WORK!! LOL
OK, What the actual HELL is this week of stupid??? At least the Butcher of Bosnia is gone to hell, but the rest is heartbreaking :( Optimus was my favourite character through the years of Transformers (even though not a fan of the movies) because of Peter Cullen.
scott dagostino@scottdagostino.ca · 2w agoSo we’re losing ALL our old heroes this week, okay then 🫤 I didn’t care for the TRANSFORMERS movies but keeping Cullen’s wonderfully authoritative voice was the smartest they did ⭐️
So I don't derail the entire thread....but had an idea! These types of things would be GREAT for carshare programs. When you need a car/truck in town, but don't need a huge SUV/Truck. I own a SUV (we don't live near public transit and drive kids to school), but it's parked 50% of the time.

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.
