Fur Face Friday!
Hi all, we've made it to the final day of that weird month, and it's a Friday, so let's get to some Fur Faces from last week!
First up is Boone, celebrating his 1st gotchaday with a pupcup:

I voted, and there was hardly anyone there. It took all of 3 minutes. It might pick up this evening after people get off work.
Filing continues, and I'm running low on file folders again, which shows how much filing I needed to do; I will probably use about 100 folders by the time I'm done. I've also started shifting things off the book cases, to see if I can get by with lower shelves, and I think it should be okay. And I've been finding some treasures; old magazines that I haven't looked at in a long time, but are still chock full of ideas; I need to put them where I'll refer to them more often.
My teeth are still sore, and I think the crown and the retainer are fighting for dominance, and the teeth in between are getting squished. I'll give it one more day and night, and if they don't settle down I'm going to call the dentist; it's possible that the crown needs to be shaved down a bit. He said to leave it a week and see. The bite seems to be unchanged, so everything may indeed settle down on its own.
How about everyone else?

Feel like life has got you dangling over the edge? Yeah, there's a lot of that going around. Go ahead and let it all out here.

I don't think I have to go out today; I think I bought all the groceries I need last night ... Filing is going well, and I'm making a lot of inroads on organising stuff so it'll be easier to find.
What about everyone else?

I started writing a post about dystopian fiction but I changed my mind. Enjoy this photo of a wintery bridge in a provincial park instead.
This is my current book. I can't decide if reading about North Korea is helpful or not at this time, but it's an excellent graphic novel. https://quillandquire.com/review/pyongyang-a-journey-in-north-korea/
How's it going?

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.

In case you're new here, favorites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, leahaven, and Best Coast!), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE.

OMG! I just realised that I have a slice of banana bread (from yesterday, when I bought that pupcup for Boone at Starbucks), vanilla ice cream and salted caramel liqueur! Guess what's for dessert tonight?!

Today is Boone's Gotcha Day! A year ago today, I went to St. Catharines and picked him up. He was stil called Hiram at the time. I'm taking him out for a pupcup at Starbucks later.
Still cold and breezy here. I may have to do some shopping today.
How about everyone else?

It's still snowing out there.
On a completely different topic, I've been hearing bits and pieces about the campaign for the right to repair. It's to use and reuse resources more wisely, but now it's being pitched as a way to adapt to a trade war.
I think many of the North American Balkers have a long weekend. We're got the day off for Family Day in most of Canada. Is your weekend set for overtime?

I've shovelled several times over the last 24 hours, and my back is killing me. And more to come in a day or two.

We're expecting a big dump to start this afternoon and through until Friday. I'm glad I don't need to go anywhere. I guess it will hit kristinbytes at some point too. I know B/C Codco will be hoping for a snow day.
I wonder if squirrel will ever return?

Welcome to later on Sunday/ early on Monday.
If you're cheering for a sprotsball team today, best wishes for a big win.
What else are you up to on this (possibly) snowy day? It looks like most of us are in for some messy weather.
In Halifax, they're organizing a Retro Film Festo for all the local indie films that are basically out of print. Which movie(s) would you add to a Retro Festo where you are?
