I love a good story. And one of my favourites is the Starkell's journey after launching their canoe from an East Kildonan park and paddling to the Amazon. 📸: My paperback worn by numerous readers and a little momento at Seniors Citizens Park in EK.

lol I was watching this from-the-stands perspective on TikTok of the Winnipeg Jets’ winning OT goal and only realized near the very end it’s the PREMIER of Manitoba filming it and going nuts with his buddy 😅😅

On this day the bay was calm so the sea floor at low tide made for a muddy walk. Largest tides in the world at Bay of Fundy...Canada: because travel to the land of 47 is no longer an option.

Daughter was at a wake yesterday. It was for a young guy who's best friend was a piper and he told him "when I'm dead & gone I want you to play the pipes at my funeral" which he did...so with that (plus I just found out that I have ancestors from Kintyre), I'm sharing this: youtu.be/Plhtk_XJqhM?...

Happy #EarthDay from my corner of the Earth. This is a compilation of places and moments from all over #Manitoba, Canada. I put it together to show that we are so much more than 'flat' and 'boring'. We're beautiful and diverse and full of life, like everywhere else on this planet we call home. 🌿

Stanley now joins Byfuglien in the Jets catalogue of crushing playoff hits. But you have to love the look on linesman Andrew Smith's face (who was up close and personal). 📸 from SN & Colby Spence (IC)

At Marsh's Library Dublin (Ireland’s first public library 1707): from Ulisse Aldrovandi's "Monstrorum Historia" (Bologna, 1642), a book documenting monstrous creatures. He relied upon descriptions provided to him from explorers (sometimes exaggerated by several months of drunken storytelling).

Think we're all in agreement that today is a good day to honour the sacrifice of those that answered the calls to action. Cork City's National Monument has the names of some of the lesser known, including one of my people.

April 15, 1912. Just 4 months later in August, my ggparents emigrated here from Belfast. Photos: the Titanic Museum stands at the site of the Belfast shipyards where the great ship was built. And the Halifax graveyard where many of those recovered were buried. See alt text of closeup for details.

Red Bay Castle in the distance. Just off Antrim's Coast Road in the old Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata, near the Glens and Waterfoot. If you look closely, there appears to be a wedding party's photo shoot going on near the ruins.
