"Some 30 years ago Silicon Valley promised to change the world, and it did -- just not in the way many imagined. Today, a handful of tech billionaires wield extraordinary power over our politics, our economy, our public discourse, and even our thoughts..." Amanpour&Co. interview with Pauline Borsook

Half-way through summer and my garden harvest is unimpressive. Grey squirrels enjoyed 2 ripe Ottawa tomatoes they ripped from the porch planter, dropping a half-eaten one. I remind myself that I do this as therapy, feeling satisfied while nurturing, watching things grow. 🌱🏡 #gardening #squirrels

I woke around 4:30 to the sound of heavy rain and thunder. It was nice and cozy until the power went out around 4:55. Candles are lit in the main level. Transistor radio has been activated for local news. Resident Millennial is sleeping soundly. #Hydro #outage in West #Ottawa. Interesting times.

@suzannacrampton.bsky.social when I saw this headline on CBC, I thought about Ovenmitt's habit of grooming Inca and the other dogs in your crew. Surely he's not being a jerk about it 😸 #Caturday #Cats #Dogs #Grooming #Affection

Cats don't always lick each other out of affection. Sometimes they're just being jerks | CBC Radio

Sometimes when a cat grooms another cat, it's nice. A cat helping another cat out, scratching those hard-to-get spots on the back of the neck. Other times? It's more like, "Hey, I want that nice nap s...

I also want clean air. 🐞🦋🐝

I got out and about early for walkies and groceries under the hazy sky and eerie orange sun rising. There was a whiff of smoke and a pleasant breeze to accompany me home, planning not to venture out until 4 p.m. Hoping for rain but not too much, eh? 🌞☔🌱🤗 www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

The heat is getting to me plus I am emotionally invested in our neighbour's cat. 🐆The little scamp disappeared for five hours after a tussle with two dogs in THEIR fenced in yard. Finally this afternoon I spotted her in a nearby tree. I worry enough about my kids to carry this much drama. #Caturday

Another day, another power outage in West Ottawa. This time at 7:30 a.m. on Monday when Civil Servants are mandated back to the office. Return ETA for hydro is 10 a.m. On a happy note, the neighbour's Cat dropped by to supervise gardening tasks . #Hydro #Cats #Gardens #Summertime

I went out in the afternoon heat to inspect the garden and hydrate the soil under the plants. Also watered the neighbour's cat. She enjoys the quiet shade, being safe from the shrieking children nearby. #Cats #Gardening #Summer My day is complete 🤗🐆🌞🍉

Glad I got out in the heat for 5 hours, for High Tea with a downtown friend. Delightful experience with cultured folks. #LaurierHouse #HighTea #Ottawa #Summertime #Heatwave #CanadianHistory #bougie Public transportation service was agreeable. It was so nice to get home, strip down and kick back.

Kudos #BookSky

It was a hot 17 minute walk through the farm this morning then on to other stops for errands 🍉🥚🍅. It was a good and sweaty 2 hour excursion. So glad to have mutual motivation to keep moving the body. Also, we need stuff. The new #walking shoes are serving me well. Just keep swimming swimming... 🐟

I saw many blooms during this morning's visit to the garden. The one that impressed me most was this little flower growing from the patio stone crack under the compost drum. It looks like a petunia. Can anyone confirm? #Bloomscrolling #Gardening #Survival #Determination #Flowers

The neighbour's cat dropped by for a visit while I was watering the plants this morning. She is learning the concept of play that doesn't involve dominating the opponent. #Gardening #Bloomscrolling #Cats #Community

When you decide to take a 2 hour morning walk before breakfast, you can end up anywhere in your community. It was encouraging to see a handful of people waiting for the library doors to open. I passed time by following the StoryWalk posters about Colette the Solitary Bee. Cute 🐝 #Libraries #walking

Bless and protect this guy. He speaks truth through observational humor. #Obama #Humour #Humor

I promise I didn’t steal any LEGOs, but somehow my name ended up in a $200,000 scandal. Tonight at 9PM Eastern. youtu.be/GAxk62-9yYc?...

What kind of person visits yards during a community-wide garage sale and only brings home plants? 🏡🌱🌞😅

I had a short, enjoyable volunteer shift at the local library branch today. I like chatting with the paid workers. #Libraries #Books #Reading #Ottawa #Nepean #Community #Walking

Meowing into the void. My #Caturday contribution is from yesterday's brief visit to the garden in the afternoon heat. I checked on the plants and watered the neighbour's Cat. #Gardening #Cats #Heatwave

My Friday morning walking buddy and I kept our route short, mainly to pick up groceries and return home, retreating from the heat. Surely the gardeners are happy with the recent rainfall but the peony bushes collapsed due to the weight of their buxom blossoms. #Bloomscrolling #Walking #Community

I was just talking about this at dinner on Tuesday. Awesome. Fungi networks are so cool.

What a coincidence that today is International Archives Day and i will be dining with college classmates tonight. It has become an annual affair to celebrate our graduation in 2022. We survived a tough slog, forced into online classes during the pandemic. #Archives #IAW2026 #Celebration #Canada
