@MeanwhileinCanada neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom…

But if you’ve got bears, you can pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

@MeanwhileinCanada

Yeah, I'd have noped out of that one, too. Becky can get her package tomorrow, it is not that critical.

@MeanwhileinCanada
bear with me here: why I couldn't deliver your parcel

Before we changed from paper bills to plastic bills, the Bank of Canada had to beg Canadians to stop "Spocking" our $5 bills.
Good times.

@MeanwhileinCanada To quote Spock "fascinating" :-) Never knew this but it is/was brilliantly creative :-)

@MeanwhileinCanada
Seems like they wanted more Spock on their money, because that's how you get more Spock not less.

For years, I have been submitting projects to the participatory budget in Łódź (city in Poland) aimed at educating residents about the harmful effects of feeding ducks with bread and installing machines by the city's ponds that dispense special duck feed.

I also prepared graphics to promote these projects:

@MeanwhileinCanada i bring the battery inside, saves any trouble.
And the winter car i don't even try to start it during cold weather.
And we sure had it cold here, all of November was minus 10C at night, and in the new year we had a week of minus 30C nights...

It was +1C (33.8F) earlier today in Winnipeg, the overnight 'low' was -1C. I've already seen people in shorts.

Average temps for this date are high -13C (8.7F) and low -23.6C (-10.4F).

They haven't been able to open up the river skating trails yet this year.

Remember that as days get colder, animals are attracted to the warmth of cars, so check wheel arches and other hiding places.

@MeanwhileinCanada One morning, I heard tiny mews coming from somewhere in or near my car

Finally popped the hood and found the tiniest little kitten curled up on my engine block

We were both surprised!

It's even worse when they get into the ventilation system!

An owl stole a child's stick horse and flew around with it.

@MeanwhileinCanada Dogs have never robbed us of money. Sandwiches, yes. Money, no.

@MeanwhileinCanada With saying that pets are allowed, the hotel also is blaming indirectly people who doing inappropriate or bad things. That was smart!😂

@MeanwhileinCanada they drive slowly because they have very small cars.

@MeanwhileinCanada

We don't have that many Squirrels here in Belgium, not even red ones...on the other hand, we do have a lot of chickens.

Don't look up at the haze from record wildfires.

Don't look at the flooding in Quebec, Vermont, Spain, India, Japan etc.

Don't look at the dangerously high ocean temperatures.

Don't look at the heat domes all over the world.

Don't look at the melting glaciers.

Don't look at the disappearing coral reefs.

Don't look or you might want to do something about it.

I want to live in a world where 500 migrants lost at sea evokes more concern than 3 millionaires lost in a vanity submarine.

@MeanwhileinCanada I hope the millionaires and billionaires are paying attention to all this. This isn't a "Balloon Boy" or "Soccer Team Trapped in a Cave" thing where the world is waiting anxiously for their rescue. We may not be quite to "Put the rich in guillotines" levels yet, but we have certainly crossed the "if the rich are so hollow and dead inside that they want to put their own heads in guillotines, I will certainly watch" line.

@MeanwhileinCanada In Face of death all people are equal. There is no amount of money that can safe your life or your beloved life when your time is over.

How Canadians confuse the world:

- We measure outside temp in Celsius and oven temp in Fahrenheit.

- Length in meters and our height in feet.

- Cheese is weighed in kilograms but people are weighed in pounds.

- We speak like Americans, spell like Brits and randomly throw in French words.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@MeanwhileinCanada And to make things more confusing for me, I lived in Australia long enough that even though I have my Canadian accent back, I speak with an Australian speech pattern and even Canadians don't understand me half the time.

Except for the Quebecers.

And my neighbours from Malaysia asked me this year when I emigrated from Australia (!) and I was floored because nobody has asked that since my Aussie accent vanished in 1999.

@MeanwhileinCanada as a devoted Habs fan, I do not relate or understand your post. Lol.
