A bit windy today… 11.2 km return…. went with the wind to the Snowking’s Winter Festival but decided to return to Franklin so as to fight the wind only some… of the way back…
The wind was strong and the blowing snow out on the full ice reminded me of mini white-outs…. so
No thanks… 👌👍🏾🖖🏼
I’ve had my fill of white-outs…
Even mini ones….

An Indigenous artist takes a vacation alone — and CBSA holds him, X-rays him for drugs

“… As officers with the 🇨🇦 Canada Border Services Agency examined his bag and his phone, he asked what grounds they had for suspecting him.
“They said because I’m an artist,” said Hogan, who was based in Halifax with the navy from 2001 to 2005. “They read it on my file and said that was a trigger, because they don’t believe that artists could even afford to go on vacation, basically.”
Even harder for the officers to believe, he said, was that an artist could take a four-star vacation in the Dominican Republic in March, flying in a premium class…”
