Little known fact: #Oppenheimer was in #ygk @queensu back in 1960!

[Queen's Archives @queensarchives]

In 1960, #Oppenheimer visited #queensu to give three lectures as part of the Dunning Trust series. All classes were let out so students could attend the first lecture. Check out some audio and read the lectures at https://t.co/2gAmpVXPMe

Some musical gratitude for all the healthcare workers who do the impossible every day.

@acwlong @MIHomeYGK That's our neighbourhood wild turkey. He's been around since June. Sometimes he likes to scare cars away but most of the time he just strolls around.

Gnight
to the heaviness on your heart
that will not budge
and does not move:
‘Sup, heaviness
We have to rest
So I guess you’re coming with us
But we’re going dreaming
And in our dreams
WE get to do WHATEVER
Now loosen your grip, that’s it,
loosen your damn grip

@ArchivesSarah @MyFavMurder Yup! 5 vols of newspaper clippings on murders: mostly in Canada, some in US. With table of contents! Gotta figure out who donated it & when!

[Deirdre Bryden @archivistgrl]

When your work & podcast obsession collide: found this scrapbook today. Anyone need a hometown from 1940s-1950s? @MyFavMurder #murderino

@QuinteTraffic @MIHomeYGK 401 EB traffic now backed up to Trenton Glen Miller Rd. Take Hwy2 EB. MVC looks like it’ll take awhile to clear.

A great way to start things off in Edmonton for #ACA2018: treats with my bestie @duchessbakeshop #yum

@ArchivesSarah You are: we’re at 1.39. Maybe I need to reconsider getting a rental car when visiting Victoria this summer...

[Deirdre Bryden @archivistgrl]

Why are we paying so much money for gas in #ygk? 1.24 in Hamilton, 1.25 in Ottawa and 1.22 in Prescott: what is going on here?!! Anyone?
