On a Sunday afternoon walk I spotted some heartening political stickers.

For dinner I made a thick wild rice soup to pair with a loaf of olive sourdough bread and had a pumpkin spice dirty soda to complete the autumnal vibes.

I made a dirty soda with pumpkin spice coconut whipped cream on top of a cola.

Bambu's new album, They're Burning The Boats! is timely and excellent. It's anti-fascist, defiant, and driven.

I finally took a look at the Beat Beethoven race photos and found some I can be seen running in.

The hottest October day on record for Halifax is 25.8 °C in 1990. Tomorrow the forecast is predicting 26 °C. It definitely feels abnormally warm and dry this year. I don't remember an October that felt like this.

I got an R36S to consolidate some of my games emulation. I grew up with the Game Boy, so the form factor is ideal for me and it's great value for a capable emulation machine.

To start, I want to finally finish Xenogears, give Glory Hunters a proper play through, and revisit some Kirby Game Boy games with fan colourizations.

We got a pumpkin in Mahone Bay at a fundraiser for the Mahone Bay United football/soccer club. Celestine gave it a face with her pencil yesterday.

My niece was pushing another kid on a playground swing yesterday and her finger got caught in the bare chain of the swing. She fully lost the tip of her finger and won't know if she can keep part of her finger until a consultation with plastic surgeons next week.

I feel so awful about the pain she is in now and the trauma and anxiety she will carry forward.

While in Mahone Bay we explored the faerie trails.
