ICE and Heat

I wrote yesterday about Circle of Influence. That said, I think it important to witness what is happening. The DHS in the US is hiring thugs, basically bounty hunters, for $1000 -  $1500 per person kidnapped. No ID, no name tags, no warrants. Finally, people are coming to that realization, and standing up to them. This is how people in the US are stepping up.  This is how it is done...

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

It was a hot weekend. The bike tour was on: they cycled from Ottawa (171 km) or Perth to Kingston (119km) and stayed overnight only to reverse it all and to return Sunday. I just couldn't imagine... The roads are awful with angry drivers. I could hear cars gunning their engines in order to pass them.

There is a two-foot bike lane, but those large trucks give cyclists a wide berth, veering into the oncoming lane. People have been commenting on Social Media that these HUGE trucks aren't safe, too big, and you cannot see young kids over them at school crossings or bus stops.

#75 is getting bolder!

I figured out that he is eating little teeny wild strawberries!

I got a bit silly with Pride flags. 

Here is your giggle for the day. If you want to look under your water bottle, to read the label and see how much it holds, it’s best if the lid is on and you aren’t holding the bottle above your laptop! It was all OK, but that heat makes me silly! I feel so badly for those renting, or without an air conditioner. 

This is about 8 ℃ higher than June averages.

Cyclists and the escort!

We were traveling from Gravenhurst to Torrance to see my late parents' headstone. The ongoing saga of our Toronto/Muskoka trip!

Hardy Lake Park, memorial to Andrew J. Potts. Wed., July 20, 2005. My mom had a cancer treatment that day, and had to five a circuitous route due to the incident. Very sad, a collision in the early hours with a moose.

Wonderful tribute to Andy J. Potts
