I don't remember having to give a urine sample, although I bet the guy next to you hasn't forgotten! I've no idea why mine was on my right arm and curious to know if anyone else's is there.
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Me too but it’s on my right arm. Everyone else seems to have it on their left arm.

It's only the Ed School Board who are a bit too zealous. Smith came out against banning these classics. I loathe her but let's not start blaming her for everything
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually i'ts not the Alberta govt, Danielle Smith is against banning Handmaid's Tale and Brave New World, amongst others. it now appears as if someone in the Edmonton Public School board was a bit too over zealous. Stay tuned

No we don't. Your hyperbole doesn't help those of us struggling against the provincial govt.

Not sure if believe this. Alaskan vote Republican. Source please.

Didn’t know that was an option! Thanks, I’ll look into that.

I hope so, Alcaraz is a complete joy to watch.
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Almost as annoying as McEnroe's commentary!
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Sinner of course. And then he loses to Alcaraz in the final.

Cda has 9 native species but most all of them are threatened. I'm in Alberta where the Little Brown Bat is endangered due to white-nose syndrome. Actually makes my heart hurt...
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Amazing! Thanks Marsha. I have a thing for bats but the closest I’ve ever come was a 300 year old cottage in Cornwall that came with a warning not to disturb the bats in the porch ceiling. Sadly, they never appeared.

I'd love to see some photos
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
And proud of it.

Thank you and followed back. A vast majority of us distinguish between Americans and the American administration. Hoping for good news with your mid-terms!

Canadian here. While we are genuinely angry about the 51st state nonsense, I apologize for the smugness from some of my fellow citizens. Be safe.

Just back from Edinburgh (my nephew obtained his master's degree from the uni there) and stayed in a lovely boutique hotel on the royal mile. I'm a Canadian anglophile and are no sooner home than planning the next visit l!

Me: just north of the border, cracking up at your wonderful reference!
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
It helps that we avoid the cities. We most often stay in smallish towns like Rye, Hebden Bridge or Stratton. We always rent a car and as long as the room is clean and bright it’s acceptable. We spend little time in it anyways!

It needs a red maple leaf.

Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I've become far more conscious of this. We are just back from Scotland and for the 1st time in about 10 years we stayed in a hotel rather than AirBnB or VRBO.

Israel does have the right of self-defense, not questioning that. I don't believe that PM Carney will specifically come out in support of US bombing (especially w/o congressional approval) similar to Starmer....but I've been wrong before!
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree that all Nato countries have obligations under article 5 but I think that's for circumstances where a member country is attacked first. But I agree, being sanctimonious is a bad look.
Saerd (@saerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Not arguing with your main point :) but I'm not at all sure that our PM will officially or otherwise, support the bombing. Nothing yet.
