I avoid walking under trees or power lines where I see guano on the ground. I yell "no pooping" at flocks overhead. Working at sea - let's just say I have taken a few disgusting hits.... Getting out of the car at the gym, it happened, gulls, a wet wack to the side of my head.

Good riddance to summer! I'm so relieved that it's autumn.

I should be in the classroom (like, literally, 8:35AM class) right now. Then at the Welcome Fair in the Quad. Instead, locked out. I'm mad, hurt, disappointed, betrayed. But, I am always someone who looks on the bright side of everything. So, here is the good: 1/2 #KeepDalStrong

I'm not the type of scientist who enjoys dissections or lethal sampling methodologies. Ughhhh. Step 1 this morning was collecting eggs from a lobster that kept trying to protect the clutch. Next was the ovary which is on the inside. 😭

I still know all the words to, "Things that make you go hmmm", in case you were wondering

With Dawn Arnold’s appointment to the senate I’ll be back on CBC tomorrow morning taking about her legacy, what this will change with our current council and mildly speculating on what this means for the future of Moncton City Council. (Yes I take old fashioned notes in the cutest little notebook)
