A quick plug: if you're looking for a new watch battery or watch repair or even need your jewellery repaired, you may have visited HBC in the past. The company that did their watch service for the last 25 years has now moved over to London Drugs: vancouversun.com/news/burnaby...

Friend having a serious medical emergency and almost none of his critical medical info is available to his wife who’s currently out of town. Please use at least a shared Apple Note for things like Health numbers and Dr. contact info and/or shared access to Apple Health App with your spouse.

always a little weird to see in politicians' footnotes

Went to the Vancouver Watch Show by Lonsdale Quay and boy are a lot of the tiny companies sweating right now re: US tariffs. Lot of Canadian microbrands present. (Also learned that 50% of Marathon Watch’s (🇨🇦) revenue comes from US Gov. contracts.) #vancouver #watches

15 cop cars with engines roaring and I can’t find a clue online.
