Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana…
Calling Dr Jerkyl, a Duck
Quick trip to see the Royal Winterpeg Ballet do Jekyll and Hyde at the NAC in Ottawa. Water levels are still high after the storms we’ve had recently. Speed restrictions

Swan Lake in a Nutshell
Got to see Heather Ogden‘s final performance as Odette/Odile in the National Ballet of Canada‘s Swan Lake last night, and she was amazing. Here’s a summary:
Lucky Day
Looks like work on GO‘s Lakeshore East line today had VIA trains diverting to CN‘s York subdivision. Prototypes and HO scale models. Also saw a CN track inspection car.
The Eclipse
Success. Turned out to be clear. It was cold and damp though. I was able to get the eclipse from start to finish, and at some point I may do
It was sunny today
Some nice sunspot regions and some pretty big prominences.
