@danmanganmusic with a song that nicely captures the weird feeling of thinking about the future from the perspective of a new parent, wondering about it all. Also, it'll give you all the feels. https://t.co/sAQRdeMMig

@peggy_blair In my summers in law school I used to pave driveways - hot work on a day like today! Good on them. Makes me appreciate working in an air conditioned office these days.

@daveyslimmon Updated answer: definitely!

@rivermeredith @LOWaterkeeper @swimdrinkfish @CanGeo @Waterkeeper @IJCsharedwaters @CanGeoEdu Sounds excellent! Good luck completing it, and you’re right: it will tell quite the stories.

@ladybugspicnic @FBorgal If they're closing it (AGAIN) a wider tunnel isn't too much to ask for, right?!

[Shane Zurbrigg @SZurbrigg]

@daveyslimmon Oh man that makes me nostalgic! I’m excited for the time my kids are the age to read that….and the whole MacDonald Hall series.

The @ewg @DukeU report on PFAS in #freshwater fish (including #GreatLakes fish) has me thinking about relative risk and framing. I have mostly questions rather than answers. A thread:

[Shane Zurbrigg @SZurbrigg]

@AVZejnati Great thread and questions. The news is alarming (and headlines added to this), but you've done a nice job of contextualizing it. Personally, I'm not sure what to take away, but as a dad with young kids thinking about getting them into fishing, the news is definitely unwelcome.

Out of an ecological crisis (the tenuous existence of beluga whales in the #LowerStLawrence), IJC Commissioner Pierre Béland alerted us all and then was instrumental in the collective response. Thank you @ReviveOurRivers and #irs2022 for @IJCsharedwaters participation today!

@DvdHam 20+ cyclists up here now! Amazing.

@typzk My rear neighbour, in addition to the usual leaf blowing, has bought himself a very large, loud wood splitter, and seems to enjoy ruining the nicest days of fall by firing it up alllll day. I am not impressed.

Figuring out my answer to this question took a looong time, but ultimately I can't avoid the conclusion it has to be @LakeSuperior.

I'm planning a shoreline clean-up, and honestly it can be difficult to find especially dirty (though somewhat accessible) locations in need of clean-up in our city. Ideas welcome!

[Shane Zurbrigg @SZurbrigg]

Hi #ottbike friends - you tend to spend lots of time riding along the shores of the Ottawa and Rideau Rivers. If you've noticed a spot along the shoreline that could use some clean-up, let me know!

[Shane Zurbrigg @SZurbrigg]

@DvdHam @Toon_Dreessen @CurlingJeff @bikeviewca @YOW_Weather That's absolutely true, but I do find that in February and March, as the sun grows stronger, the open sun at the airport offsets the head island effect in the core - we often have snow well past when the airport is reporting none.

[Shane Zurbrigg @SZurbrigg]

@ladybugspicnic @ConnorMockettWX Weird. I find I get the warnings pretty inconsistently…or in this case 10 minutes after we drove through the storm.

[Shane Zurbrigg @SZurbrigg]

Drove through a wild storm by the Rideau River N at 22, then grabbed this photo once we turned S and were out of the storm. Got a tornado warning after we passed through. Was this the tornado warned storm? @ConnorMockettWX
