Princess Mononoke もののけ姫. Released in 1997, the art & animation are very very good. I will always be amazed at how much human effort goes into a hand drawn animated film. If you were buying anime DVD's in the 2000's, you almost certain had this DVD. #anime

I had a good bike ride this afternoon. The temperature was 19° with a strong westerly breeze. I wore a short sleeve vest. While I was a bit cold in the shade, I was glad I was not hot. Saw 1 cyclist in the distance. Also met up with 2 other cyclists, said hello. Forgot phone, no photo. #cycling

This afternoon's run felt more like a summer run than an autumn run. It was 24° & i was driking plenty of fluids. After the early morning rain, the trails felt fresh. Met up with 2 runners, waved hello. #running

This afternoon's bike ride went well, except that I overdressed again. Sigh... Temperatures are just at the borderline of short sleeve or long sleeve vests. But, at the same time, I'm still enjoying the good weather that we have. Met up with 1 cyclist, waved hello. #cycling

I left late for this evening's bike ride. It was not cold, but I was hurrying as I knew that the temperatures would rapidly drop once the sun had set. The photo below is during my break, at my ride's halfway point. The sun had set when I got home. Met up with 1 runner, waved hello. #cycling

Is it just me, or is Melania's stare at trump giving off serious Sharbat Gula vibes?

I was a bit overdressed for today's bike ride. It was 20°, and I wish I had been in short sleeves & short gloves. Oh well. The ride itself went well. With the sun setting earlier, I have to really time my departure times well, or risk finishing after sunset. #cycling

It was busy at the park for this evening's run. I was zigzagging around a lot of people. Temperatures were perfect. I feel like I can push myself a bit more & not overheat. When I finished, the sun had set, but it was not yet dark. Caught up with 1 runner. #running

VIVA GUILLERMO!!!!! #Guillermo #GuillermoRodriguez #JimmyKimmel

While it was a bit cool at the start of my bike ride, it would rapidly warm up. I had my long sleeve vest, but wore shorts. I also tried out my new cycling glasses after the plastic frame on the old ones broke. New ones are polarized. Interesting. Met up with 1 cyclist. Waved hello. #cycling

This afternoon's bike ride was a bit cool. It was only 16°, but the hot sun helped to moderate things a bit. I wore my new cycling gloves (that I got on my birthday) for the 1st time & they helped my hands & wrists keep warm. Some people get magic rings for birthdays, I get cycling gloves. #cycling

I had planned for a bike this morning, but the roads were wet due to rain drizzle. So instead, I went for a run. I did it in the opposite direction than normal. It was interesting. As I type this, the sun is out & the roads are dry. Grrr... #running

Our warm trend continued for today's run. The temperature was 23°. I was following 2 runners from a distance at one point, so could not wave hello to them. I see a lot of couples in mountain bikes or ebikes, the park is very popular for that. #running

I very much enjoyed this evening's bike ride. It was 26° with a southwest breeze. I did a short run as I started off at 6PM & the sun sets before 7:30, so had to be back before then. During my stretch break, there was a tractor in the fields rolling up hay bails. #cycling

Did a short bike ride this afternoon. Despite the sun being strong, the northeast wind was just a teeny bit cool. The ride itself went well. With Irishtown route 115 resurfaced, it's so smooth that I'm less tired riding on it. #cycling

Did my standard run this evening. Temperatures are really nice for mid September. At one point, saw some poop on the trail (no photos for obvious reasons). Quickly realized it was from a black bear. Heard no reports, so it must have passed through last night & was long gone. #running

I was not sure how to dress for this morning's bike ride. I took a chance to go out in short sleeves. Glad I did. The temperature was warming up rapidly, so I was good during the ride. Saw yet another garter snake sunbathing on the road side. This one was probably 30cm long. #cycling #snake

Blue Thunder, starring Roy Scheider. It's not a bad film, but not a great one either. While presented as an action movie with some good helicopter sequences, it's also a cautionary tale of militarizing the police & the danger to civilians that it would present had people only listened. #film

Back on the trails for this afternoon's run. Temperatures are a bit below normal at 17°, but perfect for a forest run. Met up with 1 runner as I was doing my cooldown exercises, waved hello. Also met up with a guy on his small boat who was packing up, said hello as well. #running

A short bike ride this evening due to some family obligations this evening. It was just a bit cool with a north wind. It was such a short ride that I forgot to stop for a stretch break. Oops! #cycling

Went for a short bike ride this afternoon. They have finally resurfaced route 115 in Irishtown. Yay! Though the shoulder is still being worked on. At one point, I was lined up with vehicles. When they started moving, they were going 30kph & I kept pace with them. #cycling

I was glad to be back on the bike this afternoon. Like yesterday's run, I felt really good. I partially climbed hill #1 on 3rd gear, #2 & 3 on 4th. They were doing crack sealing on the highway. That vehicle lineup was long. They were barely going faster than me. #cycling

After a relaxing weekend, it was back on the trails today. I felt really good during my run, not tired or out of energy, but with plenty of umph! Met up with 1 runner, waved hello. I was briefly followed by another. Also met up with 1 cyclist. Everyone was glad to be in the park. #running

Can't run or cycle today due to rain (it's ok, we really needed it), so took an umbrella walk in Irishtown park. There were surprisingly many people there. The Cormorant below was hard to photograph as it would dive & resurface frequently. The water at the damn is 1 foot below the spillway.

After a summer drought, my regions is receiving its first significant rainfall in many week. It's a bit late for the growing season, but might just be enough for farmers. Yes, tree leaves on the right are changing colours early because of the drought. #rain

Dersu Uzala. Akira Kurosawa's comeback film, and it's a good film. It's central theme of friendship is evident throughout. Both Maxim Munzuk (Derzu Uzala) & Yury Solomin (Vladimir Arsenyev) do outstanding jobs in their respective roles. Kurosawa's cinematophraphy is beautiful. #film #kurosawa

Nemesis. I've been reading a Asimov on & off lately. I've read the Robot short stories. While this novel is not supposed to be tied into anything else, it would be retconned in later on. As a novel, it's not bad, just a bit long. It's almost all Asimov style conversations. #booksky #asimov #book

This afternoon's run was good. The temperature was 25°. I kind of expected to be too warm, yet I felt just about right due to staying the shadows as much as I could. We are still in the drought, so the forest is looking very dry. The park spillway is still not flowing. #running

Back to my regular bike ride this afternoon. There was a south breeze, but that only really affected me on the last portion. The rest of the ride went well. We are already at the point where I cannot cycle too much after supper as the sun is setting earlier & the temperature drops rapidly. #cycling

A short 22 km ride this afternoon. It went well, but I can't wait for the crews to resurface route 115 in Irishtown. It's already been many weeks since they stripped the top layer of asphalt. it's a very rough surface now. When they do it, I'll let you all know. #cycling

The aurora this evening were much calmer in my area. Also, the moon is getting brighter, so it's lighting up the sky a bit. I could barely see an auroral glow. The camera captured just a tiny bit of detail. #aurora

This afternoon's bike ride was a bit warm. There was no wind, but the temperature was 27°. That tired me just a bit & made climbing the hills just a bit hard. I almost forgot to take a photo. Remember just in time. Aside from all that, all went well. Met up with 1 cyclist, waved hello. #cycling

A few of the photos I took with my Nikon D5000 SLR Camera on Monday September 1 2025 evening's auroras. I was on the extreme southern end for visibility. We arrived with a very faint glow, it intensified a bit, then faded away. #aurora

It was a good run this morning. The temperature was 19°, no wind. I extended my circuit by 450 metres. It's not much, but I want to do it correctly. The park was very busy; I was zigzagging around people a lot. Met up with 2 runners & 3 cyclists, waved hello. #running

Today's bike ride was a longer ride that took me up to highway 126 & all of Indian Mountain Road. It started off cool & I turned around & changed into my long sleeve vest. Later on, the sun came out & it was a bit warm. Sigh... Trying to do longer runs, have something planned in 2 weeks. #cycling

Been foraging for pollen. #bee

This afternoon's bike ride went really went. I had good legs. It's one of these days when you feel like you could do another 5-10km. The weather was perfect at 20° & only a slight south breeze. Forgot my phone again, no photo. #cycling

The 2025 Red Sonja film. It's not bad. Matilda Lutz is a good Red Sonja. The film itself is brought down by its low budget that keeps it unfocused. I liked the 1st half, the 2nd half less so. During the end credits, I was watching for @gailsimone.bsky.social . Found her! #film

This afternoon's run was my first run in Irishtown Nature Park in 3 weeks. After being closed due to very dry conditions, the city parks reopened earlier this week. I missed this place. It was great running in these woods again. Met up with 1 runner, waved hello. #running

This evening was a short bike ride. With a lot of family obligations, I was lucky to get even a short ride. I dressed for a cool evening, but I would have been fine in short sleeves. I saw a mother deer & her fawn, the photo from my phone is at 30x zoom, but I got them well enough. #cycling #deer

The crescent moon on Wednesday evening August 27 2025 before sunset. #moon

This afternoon's run was inside the city. The parks have been reopened, but as I had a family outing this evening, I wanted to start my run as quickly as possible. The sun was still strong, but the air temperature was only 23°, so I was fine. Met up with 2 cyclists ,waved hello. #running

I've seen a few vaccine posts this morning on bluesky most comments are very supportive of vaccines. But, I've noticed that anti vaccinators have been using their long debunked arguments. Remember, just block the anti vaccinators. Do not engage with their long debunked lies. Block them. #vaccines

This evening's bike ride was in the neighbouring city. I explored a few new subdivisions that are probably going to be pretty nice. It was also nice to get back outside for some exerciser as yesterday's air quality was terrible. Met up with 1 cyclist, waved hello. No photo, forgot phone. #cycling

The Petitcodiac River Tidal Bore on Monday August 25 2025. #wave #tide

Everything about this evening's bike ride was better than yesterday's. I had more energy. I felt so good that the strong south wind didn't bother me, even when it was a cross wind. That's how good I felt. Also, earlier today, tried an E-bike for the 1st time. It was interesting. #cycling

John Wick Chapter 2 (I'm a few chapters behind 😁) It's a good action movie with over the top ridiculous violence. The only negative is that some of the action felt repetitive. Aside from that, all of it was good, the action, characters, & direction. That smart phone was dead. #johnwick #film

Today's bike ride was early enough in the morning before the heat kicked in. The ride went well, though I was a bit tired. I think I'm not eating a proper breakfast on Saturdays & that's getting to me. Will try to improve next time. #cycling

Today's bike ride was a light ride with my daughter in the town of Shediac through its trail system. They have some good circuits that you can use both trails & streets for some 5,6 or 9km rides. If you want to do light bike rides, it's a good place. #cycling

This evening's run continues to be in the city. I did the same run I've been doing lately, but in the opposite direction. I think I like it this way better & might continue until the parks reopen. Also, having taken a small nap before supper, I felt pretty good during the run. #running
