A strip club. A luxury spa. A private jet.

This isn't a bachelor party — it's Doug Ford's Ontario.

Today is #Ottawa's first 17°C of the year. Typical first is April 13. Record earliest is Mar 5, 2024; latest May 5, 1947/1956/1971. #YowWx #OttWeather

Sometimes you just need a big, fat, dirty, greasy pizza for your own mental health. 🫶🏻

Because the president of the United States is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet.

It's just that simple.

Randall and Bank. No left turn. The light doesn’t turn green. Ever. It’s a pedestrian crossing.

So what do you do when the car in front of you tries to turn left? And then made a motion to cut your head off because you honked at them and went around them to turn right?

Bank Street, and the bridge going over the Canal near Lansdowne. The photo is a bit outdated but the point stands.

I’m pretty sure it’s dangerous and illegal but who can tell me why it’s not a good idea to make a U-turn/3 point turn here?

Yet someone did it anyways. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Any followers from Kingston ?

Here’s a photo I took while walking in Kingston, on Princess Street, in August 2022. Mansion Bar and Restaurant.

Just received word that they are closing for good after 17 years and that tonight is the last night.

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Just now.

I begin to walk across on a red, as I often do once it’s clear to do so.

Child behind me proceeds to do the same.

Child’s mother scolds him. Something like come back NOW. We don’t cross when it’s red ever!!!!

😂😂😂

I have a very important announcement to make.

I am not running for mayor of Toronto in this October’s election.

Just thought I’d share that. That is all.

A walk which pretty much was my day.

Left my home and the ultimate goal was to go to the new Nunna's Hot Chicken, which just opened a week ago, located at Armstrong and Garland, in Hintonburg.

Either the wind did a number here. Or someone decided to pull a prank.

A broad, curving, undulating staircase made of light stone seems to flow downhill amidst a background of darker stone. A sinewy metal railing bisects it.

Need a timeline cleanse? Me too.

So, here’s this week’s staircase: The Canadian Museum of History, Gatineau, Québec, by Douglas Cardinal, 1986-89. #StaircaseSaturday

Today's walk was on the shorter side, more quality than quantity.

Started in Hull at the sight of the former Arena Robert-Guertin, and made my way to go check out the Winterlude Snowflake Kingdom at Parc Jacques-Cartier.

Watching you right now on Too Close for Comfort........ Muriel just announced she's pregnant again.

One of my longer walks in recent memory.

Today's walk started at Strathcona Park in Sandy Hill, and covered many east end neighborhoods including Lowertown, New Edinburgh, Manor Park, St Laurent Boulevard and Vanier.

For anyone wondering, this walk took about 2.5 hours.

Today's walk started at the Emerald Plaza on Merivale Road, then went around the area, across Baseline, around Erindale and Navaho, then through College Square and Algonquin College before heading back to Merivale.

It's been awhile. But it's just been that kind of winter.

Today's walk started at Les Promenades Mall in Gatineau and just me going around some of the nearby neighborhoods.

Not one of the long walks I'm used to but I'll do that when it warms up a bit.

This was today's walk, or pretty much my day.

Started and ended at home, had lunch, visited the tunnels of Carleton University*, before heading home.

*The map does not reflect the various corridors and stairwells that I passed through on campus.

Merry Christmas from midnight mass.

Merry Christmas all.

Don’t forget, amidst the hustle and bustle of Christmas, to take some timeout and watch some classic Christmas television.

Here’s a great selection of classic Christmas television made between 1965 and 2001, courtesy of the good folks at Antenna TV.

Not so much a walk but this was pretty much my day. And I didn't take any photos.

Left home, there were stops to use the facilities, stops to eat including the new McDonald's on Main Street, and I also went to Ottawa U and Rideau Centre before walking home up Bank Street.

I’m sorry I can’t post them here. It’s too much work to post here and on the birdie app.

Tonight was my annual walk to check out the Christmas decorated houses along Taffy Lane in Orleans, starting on St Joseph Boulevard near Place d'Orleans.

The bad news, the cold and phone battery made a bad combo and I had to do most of the posting when I got home.

Today's walk started downtown at the National Arts Centre and went on a tour of much of Centretown.

Between the early excess snow and cold lately, I haven't the motivation much to go out and do my walks. Glad I was able to get out today for a bit.

Don’t open the door for strangers. #IfYouKnowYouKnow

Saturday late afternoon train ride on part of the new REM Deux-Montagnes LRT train.

I only did the line between Du Ruisseau and Ile Des Soeurs (Nun's Island). I also got off at all the stations shown here, and explored a bit except Montpelier and Canora.

Today's walk went from Casino du Lac Leamy to the Museum of Civilizations in Hull, to check out the Retro Canadian music exhibit.

I spent the afternoon at the museum, parking is stupid expensive so I parked free at the casino and walked there. And back a different way after..

First walk in the early snow.

Today's walk started off Bank Street near Catherine Street, went up Bank Street to Sparks Street, past the War Memorial, then through the Market, down Murray Street to Lowertown and then over to Ottawa U before making my way back to Centretown.
