The farmers needed this soaking 6 weeks ago. Crops are stunted, many guys selling for silage.
What a stressful life they have. 95% of the time they get too much rain or not enough rain or too much wind or hail. Every 20 years it all comes together for a bumper crop (I remember 2017 being a great one for cereals).
I was stressed about my garden ffs. That's nothing

Got someone pregnant or someone's husband found out...
Yeah, no. Few years are perfect, but it has not been bad for the past several years. Yields and quality have both been above average on an industry wide basis for several years. If you're farming and not expecting drought every 10-20 years then you aren't paying attention. Manitoba has danced around a few droughts that hit SK/AB in the last twenty years as well. So your 95% is a pretty substantial exaggeration.
That said, this year is looking to be awful. Many reports have yields of cereals around 50% at best, but reduced quality (but hey, no disease!). Canola is even worse with some places coming in around 25% which is horrible. Corn and Soybean should benefit from this moisture to some degree at least given how late they harvest, so there should be some time for heads to fill.

Got my second dose yesterday (finally) and basically the same symptoms as my first, a bit sleepy and some pain at the injection site.
Pretty stoked with that considering how bad it's knocked some friends and family around, as well as the fact that I just got back to France less than 24 hours before my shot.

Hell of a player in his prime. Whimsical quote by Mats though I really wonder what team he was talking about? I feel like Paul Maurice taught him a few things about the fictional WWE “work” promo.

Looks like True North Shop takes euros, good. Friends from Ontario are having a baby and I can't let that kid become a Leafs fan.

The Leafs haven't won a series in the cap era but prior to that they won plenty of them.
One of the greatest teams of all time is a big stretch though.

Friends of mine were in an accident on the Blue Ridge parkway years ago (buddy's wife was riding on the back). He ended up with an "open book" fracture of the pelvis - look it uo if you're not squeamish. Both almost died. They had to get choppered to the hospital.
Whenever I think "oh a motorcycle looks cool", I have a friend who gets in an accident like that
Glad to hear she'll be ok

So in 2010 we lost my mom to cancer at age 78. Dad eventually found a new partner and this weekend my family drove to visit Dad and his girlfriend at her farm in Saskatchewan up by McDowell. Dad is 90 and his girlfriend is 89 and they are both pretty amazing. They have a huge garden and last night Dad was pulling out fresh Potatoes and he just finished staining the deck this week. They are both so active and still do all the physical things on the hobby farm. Both are just as mentally sharp as they were when they were young. Pretty crazy to see such healthy happy older people.
My wife and I marvel at their energy and the joy for life they both share. I feel blessed and the moment is not lost on me how lucky my kids are to spend the time getting to know them.
Dad was gifted a book by his sister for his 90th and it’s a leather bound book that prompts you to write your life story. This winter during Covid dad took time to hand write 90% of it and I was reading it yesterday and feel really lucky he was able to do this. Amazing gift to pass on to your family.

Gah! Looks like OB filled Courier's morning slot with Toth! Already talking about hair metal and telling "I'm a crazy guy" stories that sound about 90% make-believe. Not that I was a big fan of what Courier brought to the table, but Toth? Blarg...
He was talking about zipper merging this morning. Apparently, Toth has missed the years of discussion about the subject. He had to "look it up last night!" lol...and having done so he still keeps calling it "the zipper" or "zipper driving."

I was afraid this might happen. People give up one unhealthy habit only to develop another. I think you would be better off going back to cigarettes.

Actually I'm getting back into watching Tennis as well. I played a ton as a kid and really enjoy watching the skill and athleticism.

People in this city have no idea how to merge, have no idea what a turn signal is, and feel they should set the speed limit but going 10-15 km's under the posted speed limit, they would all be dead within minutes driving on the 401 like that
