I think that in order to even the playing field, all Australian athletes at the Commonwealth Games should be required to compete with one arm tied behind their back. And maybe one leg too.

The New Zealand government is choosing to follow others down a road of science for profit rather than science for knowledge. For a country that has traditionally risen well above their weight scientifically speaking, this is a sad direction. P.S. I also once met Harold Wellman; he was fascinating.

The CN Tower Turns 50 | UrbanToronto
It's the 50th anniversary of the opening of the CN Tower, and about 51 years and 3 months since the CN Tower was topped off by Olga, the Sikorsky helicopter. Capped at 553.3m or 1,815 feet, the CN Tower was the Tallest Freestanding Structure in the World, a title it held for 34 years, and it's been Toronto's most instantly recognizable symbol ever since.

It may not be the first thing on my mind, but it's certainly not the last. 24 Sussex should be a place of pride for the country if only for it's historical significance. And because of that, I was happy to make a small donation to the Rideau Hall Foundation to fix it up. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Thanks to 3 months free after the purchace of an Apple laptop (thanks C!), I finally have the chance to watch Ted Lasso. I now know why there was so much positive hype over this series. Brilliant TV.
I had my first geology dream in a long time last night. In it, I found amphibian trace fossils in a metamorphic schist and thought about how many citations I'd get once I published it. Then I realized they were modern traces on a mud layer atop the schist. I hate stupid self-rationalized dreams.
I'll be helping out for this event. Sitting on one of the activity tables and co-leading one of the educational cruises on the Angus.

I finally had a chance to watch the movie version of the musical Come From Away on Apple TV. Brilliant. Despite the terrible event that it portrays, the musical reminded me of all of the positives I experienced while I lived on the rock doing my MS degree at Memorial.
