This “Fly-Over” Province Might Just Be Canada’s Best-Kept Fall Secret

Some unexpected entertainment in the neighbourhood today.
The city just installed the first of 4 speed bumps on our street.
It is (currently) unmarked.
To the unprepared, it looks like a shadow from an adjacent tree.
Many vehicles hitting it at full speed.
Badoom.

Libraries aren't just places for books.
They're one of the few remaining free public gathering spots.
Community events, workshops, some have social service offices in them.
It's not just books.
And they run on next to nothing of a budget.
Amazing bang for buck.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting.
We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

I got to almost 30 years before I realized Free Willy was a pun on free will.
My life has been forever changed in the decade since.
