Back on the island after being in Alberta for a week. As always, one of my first activities was to hit the trails for a #mountainbike ride.

Good day!

I need to vote in the primaries soon, and cast a mail-in ballot, but don’t mail it.

When I moved here I was ill and couldn’t stand in line, so I opted for mailing my ballot.

My health improved, and I discovered I live 2-blocks from the election center. So, I drop it off.

Be everwell.

Quite cool analysis. It might seem to runners that everyone is running, but in fact, it's not so widespread.

Only This Tiny Percentage Of People Have Ever Run A Marathon

Annual marathon finishers (~1.3M globally, ~500K U.S.), cumulative lifetime estimates (50-80M living marathoners), and why the number you cite depends on the question.

Good day!

The forecast yesterday was for no rain.

I guess I hallucinated the downpour, hail, lightning, and thunder. Oh, and the wind coming off the glaciers we used to have. 🤪

Maybe stranger, that’s the earliest in the year I can recall us having a thunderstorm.

Be everwell.

As the warmer weather arrives in Ontario, so too could a rush of ticks from the United States.

A warm and windy beach walk this afternoon. It wasn't cold, but we had the beach to ourselves thanks to the wind. Skippyjon was in heaven, barking non-stop at the waves and splashing in circles.
