Ottawa

Just place a post-it note that says: "no neighbourhood mail" in your mailbox / community mailbox and Canada Post will stop delivering you junk mail.

It took about 3 weeks to slow down but I get almost nothing now.

This handsome fella was pointed out to me by another birder. I was hoping to see a bird of prey this year and I did which is super cool.

Been waiting a while for this!

Hope this is allowed…it’s monthly event that I host. Next event is Tuesday August 8th.

It’s easy…

1. Form a team (solo puzzlers also welcome)

3. Show up. Receive an envelope with a themed pack of puzzles
4. Solve with your team while having a few pints

It's free, newbie friendly and very laid back. Visit the Puzzled Pint website for more information and to see sample puzzles.

But enough about my love life

The woman who survived Wednesday morning's fatal car crash in east Ottawa has a history of addiction and was previously sentenced to jail for drunk driving, CBC News has learned.

It feels like there's been tornado warnings non stop this summer.

“Two people are dead after a fiery two-vehicle crash in Ottawa's east end overnight.

Emergency crews responded to the crash at the intersection of St. Laurent Boulevard and Montreal Road at 12:25 a.m. Wednesday. Ottawa fire says initial reports indicated that one vehicle struck a pole and was on fire.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, crews confirmed both vehicles involved in the crash were on fire.

Social media photos show one of the two vehicles involved in the crash was engulfed in flames.

Ottawa fire says firefighters extinguished the fires, and crews extricated the driver of one of the vehicles from the wreckage, and transferred them into the care of paramedics.

Ottawa paramedics tell CTV News Ottawa two adults were pronounced dead at the scene.

Paramedics transported a woman to the hospital in critical condition.

Photos from the scene Wednesday morning showed two badly damaged vehicles at the intersection and a damaged traffic light pole.

"The Ottawa police are investigating a fatal collision at the intersection of St. Laurent Blvd. and Montreal Rd." the Ottawa police duty inspector said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

"The Collision Investigation Unit has been called and the roads will remain closed for an extended period of time."

St. Laurent Boulevard is closed from Clarke Avenue to Dunbarton Court and Montreal Road is closed from Eglise Street to the Aviation Parkway.”

Sigh.

Why does it seem as though admission that they don’t know when the LRT will run again is actually the first glimmer of a hope for resolution?

Even if the price tag will be staggering…

Summer McIntosh won her second gold medal and made Canadian history on Sunday at the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.

Had no idea this was happening.

It’s great that swimming access in the rivers is being restored. Hopefully, we will continue to have years like this one’s with low E. coli and other bacteria counts so that local residents have opportunities to swim in open water.

Stay safe out there!

This is the first time I've received an emergency alert for one. Usually I just get weather alerts from my app...

Last year, voter turnout in the Ontario provincial election was 44%. Please get out and vote.

We had a chat at work about the good old days where ISPs were local startups.

I was with Magma, he was with Primus. We were trying to find the other ones that were out there ! Help us remember Lemmy!
