Today and tomorrow are supposed to be legitimately nice days, not even &quot;Canadian&quot; nice days, just nice. high tomorrow of 20c, I think I saw? I&#39;m gonna go do stretches in the park because I skipped stretching at the gym yesterday and you (I, I mean, not &quot;you&quot;, you have to do your own thing with/for/to your own body) gotta stretch sometimes or else your middle aged body says &quot;No More&quot; and you spend a week or more in Mystery* Pain. But I&#39;ll bring a poetry book and read a poem, too. Stretches for words. *not a mystery, 90%** of the time I know exactly what I did or did not do to cause the pain but, despite being old enough to know better, was not old enough to do better. **&quot;slept funny&quot; counts, in this case, as a known cause

As always, my eagerness to embrace pleasant weather is in part driven by climate-related dread, especially with Canada's answer to oil prices appearing to be "all oil all the time, climate and Indigenous agreements at the foundation of this so-called nation and the well-being of all who call it and the planet home be damned!" instead of, like, renewable infrastructure, public transit, degrowth, massive social investment, basic income, massive wealth taxes to fund robust infrastructure to keep people fed, housed, and cared for during the next century of various kinds of collapse. Plus, El Nino year and the local news is saying even though we had a fair amount of snow this winter, it wasn't enough to keep our province well-hydrated and we're looking at a dry summer. Beep boop, right? So if we get a couple weeks of pleasant weather before the disaster season of 11.5 months starts up I've got an unnerving appetite for it.i

Reporting back that it's positively lovely outside. I am very pale.
