Things have been cooling off. The skies continue to impress.
Things have been pretty quiet. I anxiously await a replacement camera.
It'll be awhile, since 📪 Canada Post workers are on strike. At first the online prediction was 'today by end of day' and then that changed to 'tomorrow by end of day.' I am not holding my breath.
Parcels are a huge market niche. Canada Post has been outsourcing large package deliveries on weekends to poorly paid 'independent contractors.' The big companies like UPS, don't have collective agreements. Canada Post does. Private contractors have bosses that require long hours, and make promises to customers of next day delivery. Cheap labor. This is a first world problem, I know, but as always solved on the backs of workers. There are too many people forced to do part time work. They miss out on benefits and fair wages. Can you tell I was a union member?!
I shall be patient.
Here is spider visiting before the camera's demise.
The cottontail has been visiting the bird feeder.
🐸 Moving the Froggies: I'm up to 154. There were two more I caught Nov. 19th. It keeps me off the street. In the cold they are slow, slimy and dark.
Our family in Vancouver, B.C. and friends have a Bomb Cyclone! Winds and rain...
Things are busy in the skies.
"From the former Chief Justice of Canada and #1 bestselling author of Full Disclosure comes a taut new thriller starring tough-as-nails defense attorney Jilly Truitt in a murder case that makes her question her own truths."
This plane went overhead while I was outside. Look at its call sign: CGZAG. It did zig zag!
🎥TV Movies ← my master list.
My entertainment director continues to look for evening movies. We watched ICE (2011) which was rather ridiculous whilst being creepy. I've done yard duty in -20 ℃ temperatures.
"Environmental scientist exposes oil company's drilling causing Greenland ice melt."
OK, that's all I have for today. It is sunrise and coffee time.

...keep looking up!
So much going on! A postal strike? Eek gads! What a bad time of year for that to happen.
A bomb cyclone looks so much like a hurricane but on land?
For reading, I love thrillers and murder mysteries. I love picking up a good book on a cold afternoon.
While I continue to deny that it's morning (at first light) you've posted a blog! My coffee is perking and I'm finally vertical. OK - your blog. So is Canadian Postal not run by the government? Ours isn't any more, but kind of still acts like it is. And they they made a deal to deliver for UPS sometimes. It's confusing.
I think I first heard the term, bomb cyclone, on blogs yesterday.
The post office being on strike is a massive inconvenience, but the right to strike (the ultimate choice) by a union was hard won and should be respected. I am sure that unions are going to come under concentrated, relentless attack south of the border.
Of course they go out at the holidays. UGH.
Happy sunrise! Your video of the sky is beautiful.
I found that parcels from here to Canada will have import duty at your end!!!!Is this something new? That storm, haven't heard from Josh but did see the Vancouver office was closed yesterday? That NZ clip, looks familiar.
You are cooling down and we are warming up. Fast.
I adore skyscapes and have dozens of photos...
Lovely skies
Lindos cielos pero cuidate mucho y disfruta tu lectura. Te mando un beso.
My guys on the coast are okay so far. Mostly they've had wind.
I hope you get your camera soon and the strike sorts itself out. Those are real pretty skies. Your book sounds like a very interesting read.
Hello,
Love the cute bunny! I hope your family stays safe from the storm.
Take care, have a great day!
Jenn - as a former human resources manager, I know the "company" side of union negotiations, and I think my knowledge these days would be very helpful to the union negotiators! I thought we were pretty fair back in the day, but I think it is highly likely these days that organizations try and squeeze every last penny out of their workers. Greed is at the root of many of our problems these days ...
