Thursday evening open thread


 

Saw the periodontist today and got a special CT scan to see how the jaw is healing from the extraction. They'll call me when they get the results and then I guess we schedule the post implant.

Also; I rented a car for August; a Prius, which I've never driven. And I did get a pretty good deal; $1700 for the entire month (Enterprise charged me $2000 for two weeks a couple of years ago), and he said that if I rent for 3 months next year, he'll give me an even better deal.

Okay, folks, what kind of fires are you trying to put out, intercept or avoid today?

Today in 1908 Mel Blanc was born. So maybe watch some Looney Tunes.

Sunday Evening ⚾️T

 


This afternoon I almost saw a baseball game. I left a little late, then ran into a former work friend I hadn't seen in ages and had a chat. Finally arrived at the park only to realize I lost my team ballcap somewhere enroute. Decided to retrace my steps a few blocks but ended up with mission creep and retraced them back so far in the end I decided it wasn't worth it to turn around and go back. I didn't find my hat. 😢 I did get an ice cream.

 It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

☀️DAY AM OT

 


Hope you’re having a good weekend. Be sure to fit some relaxation time in there somewhere.

Sunday evening ⚾️T

 Back to the field of skunk dreams for another season! It was a little sunny for the team's unofficial mascots to make an appearance. 

Can you spot the tip of the CN Tower?

It was a pretty good turn out. Everyone was crowded into the shade under the big leafy tree to my left. Sadly, the home team lost a two run advantage in the 7th to lose to the visitors. 

I can also report that they. Sold. Beer. In a public park! In Toronto the Good! On a Sunday! We're actually officially allowed to drink in a designated area around the ball park. 

To understand how astounding this is you need to know that some neighbourhoods were dry by city bylaw until very, very recently. In fact, Ontario had laws to prohibit sports on Sundays which weren't relaxed until the 60s. The provincial Lord's Day Act wasn't repealed until 80s.

It's a gorgeous day here, which I have wasted napping, which segues into; I went to my doctor today for a number of things, including asking why I'm so sleepy all the time, and she asked if I snore, and I said that I knew she was going to think of sleep apnea. So she's scheduling me for a sleep study.

I also mentioned restless legs at night, and she suggested trying a glass of tonic water, which contains quinine, and might help. So I burst out, "That reminds me! That's why the British colonials would drink gin and tonics all time, because quinine is used to malaria"

It are Thursday and we don't want to be burdened with blaurgh going into the weekend. Let it all out, folks.

Fur Face Friday!

 Friday is here, and it snuck (it's a better word than "sneaked") up on me while I've been sick. So our Fur  Faces will have to endure an unthemed post. They'll manage I'm sure. In any event, we had some good Fur Faces last week, so let's fire up the whimsy and pick some winners!

First up, Bella is home and has had productive discussions with her new siblings:

Pretty quiet here; what about where you are? It looks like we might get more rain tonight, after a nice sunny day, which is the way to do it!
