Happy First Contact Day! This was my 'first contact' at the Las Vegas Hilton back in 2006. She berated me for drinking Coke with my meal instead of blood wine. The hotel had an impressive spread of Star Trek memorabilia on display. #HalifaxAuthor #FirstContact #ILoveStarTrek

Picking up groceries yesterday afternoon at the Atlantic Superstore in Bayers Lake, two things impressed me - first, it was busy as Christmas out there, and second, check out the cool new carts they have! All that's missing are paddle shifters.🙂 #HalifaxAuthor #RealAtlanticSuperstore

I've been watching 'ER' on Netflix and like it so far. The guest stars, especially the 'TV doctors', Robert Picardo and Alan Alda. Alda (see screenshot) played a slightly similar character to 'Hawkeye' in the final episode of the TV show, M*A*SH. #HalifaxAuthor #Netflix

Tankers! My screen grab from ADS-B Exchange last week shows a flock of Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers off Israel. A pair of MAINEiacs from the 101st Air Refueling Wing were in the flock but dropped off ADS-B. #HalifaxAuthor #UnitedStatesAirForce #AirNationalGuard

A recent addition to my diecast collection is this Ukrainian Air Force Antonov AN-26, from JC Wings. It's tiny at 1/400 scale but has great detail and markings, as I've come to expect from this manufacturer. #HalifaxAuthor #StandWIthUkraine #DiecastCollector

The March 18th episode of Jeopardy contained a clue referencing one of my favourite warships. #HalifaxAuthor #ILoveJeopardy #FirstWorldWarHistory #SecondWorldWarHistory

So. there I am at the Atlantic Superstore picking up groceries this morning, and I find Cadbury Creme Eggs 2 for $1.25. That is an excellent price AND if you collect optimum points, you get them for Cadbury Chocolate. Double dang! #HalifaxAuthor #CadburyCremeEggsRock #AwesomePrice

On the way to groceries Wednesday morning, I noticed some serious roofing work being done on the building next door. It was a chilly morning to be up on a roof. #HalifaxAuthor #RoofRepairs #PayzantHomeHardware

Happy World of Tanks Wednesday! Check out the latest addition to my man cave in support of the Canadian Tank Museum from the fine people at All or Nothing Brewhouse & Distillery. They look sharp next to my Mick Graham Art print. #HalifaxAuthor #WoTWednesday #SupportYourMuseums

I recently finished reading 'The Spy Who Loved', by Clare Mulley, and it is a great companion read with her, 'The Women Who Flew For Hitler'. These are fascinating stories and I highly recommend reading both books. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory #WomenInWar @claremulley.bsky.social

Trump ordered the release of files pertaining to aliens, which gives me an excuse to once again, share one of my favourite photos. Yes, I did meet an alien. He was asking for directions back to Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. #IYKYK #HalifaxAuthor #IBelieve #TrumpIsAnAlien #DumpTrump #PInetreeLineSite

Happy Daytona 500 Day (weather permitting)! Here's a throwback to when I had more fat (bad), and hair (good), and Coke Zero didn't exist yet. Oh, and a different Elliott was winning races. 😄❤🇨🇦🏁 #HalifaxAuthor #NASCAR @nascar.com

Did you forget to pre-order flowers for that sweetheart? No fear. The Atlantic Superstore has all kinds. Hey, they'll be dead in a few days anyway so does it really matter where they come from? Save your money for the important stuff - CHOCOLATE! :) #HalifaxAuthor #ValentinesDay

I'm not a fan of winter, but the view out my balcony this morning was quite... NAW! I hate winter! Note the holes in the balcony snowbank from the water drops off the icicles. #HalifaxAuthor #IHateWinter

Happy World of Tanks Wednesday! At the Shearwater International Air Show here in Nova Scotia, you never knew what you'd find. This Canadian Army Leopard Main Battle Tanks was an impressive sight. #HalifaxAuthor #WoTWednesday #ILoveTanks #CanadianArmy
