Well, I tried to see if my camera would pick up the Northern Lights… but I think I just saw fog beams and light pollution from street lights.
But I can pretend?

Hard to show just how thick the smoke is in #Saanichton right now.🌫️
Guessing it's from the #MountJack fire near #Sooke. But by the level of smoke, you'd think the #wildfire was more an interface fire in #CSaan.
Choking smoke drifting through neighbourhoods.😬

It's twilight in the forest, and as I'm getting something outside, the distinct mewling of a baby kitten came from a dark area under the trees.
Nope. Not falling it for it.
(To be clear, there is zero chance that it is a kitten, but it's definitely from the cat family.😬) #CSaan

So which is it? Cyclists take the lane in the #MtNewton construction zone OR cyclists walk their bike on the sidewalk? 🤦🏼♀️
Or it's a personal choice? But then, who does #ICBC and police blame if there's an incident?
Is this #RoadSafety or a lack thereof?

Here’s a great article with lessons we could apply to Victoria, particularly getting rid of waterfront parking lots for people places.
This for sure. The waterfront has become such an amazing people-friendly third space that is a massive asset to our city. I love this story on the history of its transformation.

Another pic of the cougar because this is just so cool!! I mean, I’ve seen them at the end of my street/edge of the woods down by the park, but that is literally my front lawn in the background.
So… no outdoor movie tonight. #CSaan 🙃

We're so sorry to learn of the devastating fire @ #GardenFork.
In addition to dreams & aspirations of current owners, that site holds a lot of #CSaan history & memories over decades.

Paint isn't infrastructure and def isn't safe system protection for #vulnerableroadusers. Calling these bike lanes is upselling "new bike lanes connecting Brentwood Bay and Saanichton — a top priority in the municipality’s Active Transportation Plan, said #CSaan Mayor Ryan Windsor" #RoadSafety #yyj

So apparently all my bragging about never losing power came back to bite me… 7+ hours but it’s back on now. Car incident took out power pole/lines. Not sure how, as it is a 30km construction zone? #CSaan

Interesting that the #earthquake alert came over @CBC Radio, BEFORE I felt the shaking in #CSaan.
