It really is so beautiful. Between that and Rufus Wainwright’s song from last season, I’m feasting!

After that I started writing #steampunk mysteries and thrillers, starting with Bartleby and James - alt history edwardian fiction in a world where Queen Victoria never died and all the weird psuedoscience works just fine.

Inventor James Wainwright's greatest desire is to be left alone in his workshop, where he can focus on invention and engineering unsullied by the messiness of London society and the meaningless concer...

I gifted this doll to Rufus after a concert of his a few years ago. Remember that time Trump danced for several minutes on stage to several songs? One of those tunes was Wainwright’s rendition of Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” That’s what this quote is about. #trickorspeak

my friend piney did a cover of loudon wainwright's "the swimming song" that has fewer than 100 listens on youtube, and I'm probably all of them

Exactly where my wife and I ended our Wainwright’s C-C walk, circa 2000. We tossed in our stones carried from St. Bees right about there and then walked up to the pub to add our names to the big book. Wonderful memories!

Morning. Quebec’s separatist premier got a seat at PM Carney’s table, but no speaking slot. Cue the sulking.

The EU dropped “associate membership”; closer ties remain.

The Bank of Canada raised rates to 2.5%.

Wainwright’s Pte. Ramage is improving, his family says. Give blood.

Coffee’s on. ☕🇨🇦

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and grim in the Vale today, after one storm, before another one. Some cleaning this morning, however, always a joy, and then another opportunity to test Wainwright’s maxim that there is no such thing as bad weather, merely inappropriate clothing: let’s Saturday!

New info on Thursday about Wainwright tragedy: Base firefighters knew the blaze was there, but could not attack it because the fire was inside the "permanent danger area." Unexploded ordnance (UXO) could be in this area and could explode if stepped on. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Why firefighters couldn't fight the base fire - Deadly CFB Wainwright fire started on grenade launcher range firefighters couldn't enter, officials say
The news conference revealed new details about the cause of the fire — and why firefighters could not put it out. The flames began as a result of ordnance being fired on CFB Wainwright's automatic gre...

A little older, but may I also offer Bigod 20’s “Like A Prayer”, and Jane’s Addiction’s cover of “Ripple”. Oh, and Rufus Wainwright’s “Across the Universe”. Love covers!

Shooting drills should be held in the early morning during high-risk fire months, according to CFB Wainwright’s own safety rules.

The revelation raises more questions about the blaze that killed four soldiers and injured dozens during late-afternoon training exercises at the base Saturday.
CFB Wainwright’s live-fire drills went against guidance for high-risk fire months

Also of "interest":

CFB Wainwright’s “Range Standing Orders” .. say units at the base should plan to practise shooting before about 10 a.m. between August and October, when the “fire hazard is normally low enough to permit the firing of most ammunition.”

Live rounds, a grass fire, and 4 dead Canadian soldiers. Major General Wade Rutland says CFB Wainwright's blaze spread fast in high winds, with 39 hospitalized and 19 critical. Explosions ruled out as oil or outside interference. So why is the cause still "under investigation"?
