Wonderful swim at Shubie park this Am. not sure if the little layer above the water was smoke or fog as there is lots of smoke smell in Dartmouth

@Brightwood_Turf Thanks. still surprised how cold 2cm down was

#Spiio sensor data today. “Soil” is in the ground, “Surface” is on top of the green but under a breathable tarp, “Ambient” is on a pole beside the green. It’ll be interesting to see the numbers throughout the winter!

@Brightwood_Turf interesting. i am surprised that the ground is frozen under a tarp already. The tarps are white and reflective aren’t they?

@chronicleherald is it production issues or have you cut the Kakuro puzzle? I miss my daily numerical logic hit

@JoanneLynnNS Last year they did a switch with the fundraising pseudo newspaper of the QEll. I think it was a full week before the hospital noticed and pulled them out of their waiting areas

Anyone know how I can stop the delivery of this rag. No contact info and every article is a conspiracy theory from vaccines to fluoride. An organization dedicated to ensuring health for persons with disabilities does not endorse this alt right wing drivel

Hibiscus morning at Tidnish

The sun and fog have arrived to start the day at Lower East Pubnico. Our last day at L’echange at the Congress Mondial Acadian de 2024

First swim of the year in Lake Banook. Air 10; water 20

@Suzanne_Rent The question I would go to is whether HRM’s elected council would do this without the potential cash from Ottawa. A lot of this didn’t seem to be on the table until the money was offered. I will have to read your story.

@NovaScotiaESM Now if NS could donate sovereignty of a little bit of land by the Tidnish bridge to NB then the present decrepit bridge would be between two provinces and the feds could buy it and fix it…. I think you only need to move the border about 10 meters….

I am glad to see Minister Masland advocating for the protection of the Chignecto Isthmus. There is one taxpayer - we just want shovels in the ground now before catastrophic damage occurs.

@NS_PublicWorks Google says closure is over at 1. Is this true?

CUMBERLAND (NS/NB Border) – Please be advised of the following traffic advisory for Hwy-104, Exit 3 EB. There is currently an RCMP closure/detour in place. Expect delays.

@LUrbaniste I wonder if this space is supposed to interact with the now building rink / event centre that it abuts. On its own this extended open space on the back of a building, which isn’t the only was to get to the interior spaces seems not to make much sense

Strange how institutional buildings today often feel like you’re in an exterior passage, not really inside.

Caught the replay at Cineplex of the Met production of Carmen. Lots of music that dips into the familiar. The setting is modern, the Tex Mex border. Carmen is crushed with a baseball bat. How should a modern production treat domestic violence. Should Carmen still be staged?

@karly_kehoe @ScotHistReview I wonder how multiple same source citations were counted within the same article. Multiple times might indicate influence. While same number spread across articles might not.

Just finished reading Keven Major’s 4 for Fogo. I was previously unaware he is a great mystery writer. A bit unconventional, local but not too local in his narrative, and captivating between great NS storm shovelling

Fantastic presentation by @cbuniversity student Robbie Hussey! His work w/ @tim_fedak on history/provenance of Cape Breton fossils that went to the 1867 Paris Exhibition helps us better appreciate way ppl in past viewed our geoheritage & reminds us that we should value it today.

@hardingcan @DGHfoundation @MLABarbAdams Now if you have to do Boxing week returns this could get complicated. Happy it’s here.

You don’t see this everyday! Thanks to donors and the Province of NS, we all received a great Christmas present - a new 26,000 lb MRI magnet was lowered into the Dartmouth General Hospital yesterday- philanthropy in action! First patient scans coming this spring! @DGHfoundation

@LUrbaniste And then you have to have some colour as part of the design….

The Fitzgerald test for good architectural design: Your project is only any good if Emma Fitzgerald ended up drawing it. emmafitzgerald.ca

@CBCNS @cbcns can you tell us more about “fossilized” records at the library

Amateur paleontologist Brian Hebert received an international award last month in the U.S. He fell in love with paleontology more than 30 years ago. ift.tt/TqxmHDZ

@SymphonyNS @TownofAmherstNS I attended the same program of Symphony Nova Scotia last week in Halifax. The sound at Trinity St Stephen is a different experience. Fresher, richer and there is just so much more sound and depth to enjoy
