The annual pumpkin regatta in Windsor, N.S. sure sounds like a lot of fun. If you like the idea of sitting inside a giant gourd paddling through the water, that is.
This year's race attracted a crowd of 20,000 people, according to the founder Danny Dill.

Serena Williams didn't have a meltdown. She defended her honor on one of the grandest stages in a sport she's dominated for her entire adult life that continually disrespects her. Don't reduce her justified frustration to sexist behavioral stereotypes.
Two gender-related points about #USOpen:
(1) Serena Williams is right that male and female players are judged differently. That's why only women get warnings for shirt changes.
(2) Naomi Osaka apologized to the crowd, even though she had absolutely nothing to apologize for.
(2/2) When a woman is emotional, she’s “hysterical” and she’s penalized for it. When a man does the same, he’s “outspoken” & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same.
