Hey #Halisky friendos, what's a good resource to help out someone who's sleeping rough and has some very clear mental health issues? Other than the cops, that is.

And of course, two weeks before we dig everything up (Thanksgiving is the deadline) the Super Sweet 100s decide to push a ton of fruit! Ripening clock is counting down. Fingers crossed we get one last batch, but frost might get em first. #homegrown #halisky

Getting downtown for an appointment:

By Car - waited in traffic 15 mins and never moved, was late because of this.

(Luckily my appointment didn't mind me being late)

Abandoned my Lyft and chose another method

By e-Scooter - downtown in under 10 mins, no issues at all.

As Atlantic Canada’s last ocean grain elevator, this doc looks at what it takes to make such an unusual facility operate on a 24/7/365 basis.

The women at the centre of the fake "Lake America" shirts that she used A.I. to alter before her trip from Michigan to Halifax Canada, thought they were just being cheeky, but it cost her, as she is now no longer the CEO of Family First Credit Union effective immediately.

Due to the current El Niño in the Pacific reaching Super status, for the first time since 1914, not a single hurricane in the Atlantic.

Hostile El Niño-driven winds have suppressed the Atlantic season, with just five named storms and no hurricanes thus far.
