@InfoMorningCB Taken right around peak time this morning in O’dale:

Just finished listening to @LadywoodCast in its entirety. Thanks so much for keeping me company on my own rewatch of DW, and for scratching my @WestWingWeekly itch!

@InfoMorningCB At Boularderie School in the 1980’s they taught us to spell it thusly: “Big Old Ugly Lucy Andrews Rode Down Every River In Europe”. “...All Rivers In Europe” was also accepted, but we all looked down on those who added a erroneous “n”.

@HrishiHirway My Covid binge is @WestWingWeekly and I LOVE it! I know it’s done but I want to ask - do you ever address the frequent use of “yeah” on the show? (I notice that you, like me, have adopted the particular “yuh” way it tends to be pronounced on WW in your own speech.)

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@InfoMorningCB I can’t get any sound from CBC radio one, either on the app or through the Sonos. CBC music channels are working and other radio stations but no CBC radio streams I can find. You aware?

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

That’s my guy!!

[Dalbrae Academy @dalbraeacademy]

Our unified basketball team kicked off their season with a game against SAERC! They played awesome 🏀

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@DavidBurkeCBC We still miss your duo here, it was a dream team!

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@DavidBurkeCBC Haha! “The question of military drones is...still up in the air” Nice one!

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@DavidBurkeCBC Means it’s just in your blood. ;)

@WKNDMornings I’m with Shawn - it’s such a basic chord structure and the tune follows the chords - no “theft”. For a closer-to-home similarity, try @OldManLuedecke ‘s The Early Days vs. @mylesdavid ‘s When It Comes My Turn. Same chords, similar tune, different key & timing.

Hey @kfc quinpool Halifax, what’s up with no knives for customers? Some people need to cut their food up in order to eat it. It’s bad enough that the sidewalk in front of your store is completely impassable to wheelchairs a full week after the snow came.

@InfoMorningCB I grew up in Kempt Head and remember one melty March afternoon as a boy I happened to catch the huge sheet of ice being blown on shore from Iona/Baddeck. In a matter of moments we watched these 10-15’ high ice mountains crush themselves up on shore. Very dramatic!

Kudos to @CBRMGov Council for sticking by a vulnerable population in the face of kneejerk opposition.

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@CBCWorldReport @marciayoungcbc @nilkoksalcbc You’ve got two big fans in Orangedale, NS. (Is there any way to get a recording of that theme???)

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@SRCE_NS @InfoMorningCB A calm backyard, sun rising into a blue sky. One forecast calls for 2 cm, the other 0. Yet both my children’s schools are cancelled, interrupting their education and creating a significant childcare need. It seems weather hysteria started early this year.

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@larchejp is on an airplane waiting to leave St. John’s, one row ahead of a man from Vancouver who knows everything about NL, and everything else too. She’s wishing for a pair of “man-cancelling headphones”. I immediately thought “That’s an @alisonuhma picture!” Or it should be.

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

@undoneshow Nooooooooo! My favourite @Gimletmedia show just told me it’s not going to return for another season.

[Silas Donham @CaperMache]

WTF, Netflix?
