Cyclists in Edmonton have almost gotten me thrown in jail
They ride down the bike lane, which is already questionable as its a foot across and my truck is inches away from them. Then they cut me off without looking or waving or anything. Sometimes they just flat out ride in the middle of a lane, where the speed limit is 70km/h.

Like wat.
Zeal: that is also a problem in Ottawa, there is no physical barrier separating the bike lanes. And that, 1 foot? who are we kidding? It is an accident waiting to happen.
will plant tomatoes,peas, green beans,yellow beans, radish gf mentioned a couple other things but I've forgotten I'm sure she will remind me sometime.
do you have a bigger garden?
I would love to plant zucchini, but the last time I did, it occupied the whole backyard. I like zucchini anyways, the green ones and the golden ones. It just needs lots of space.
What if these aren't really PandaSK's multis, but this is the true return of Fenris, and they are all the Fenris folk that Ash tried to bring back rounds ago? O_o
Clintonia borealis - Wildflower of Ontario, found it along Wolf Trail from Meech Lake. It looks like an orchid, but it is actually from the Lilium family. Probably, because the flowers resemble to trout lilies.
Tawadina Look-out, just off Wolf Trail. Elevation: 218 meters.
I found the rock is feldspar rich, and you can actually make out the pinkish color of the rock. I did not have my hand lens, but it would be nice to look at the grains of these rocks.
The striations of the rocks looks uniform - so my guess that this was not disturb since the last Glacial Period.
This is quite massive for a rich feldspar rock formation, and I look over the sides near the trees and there is no trace of Glacial Till. I can infer that this big boulder of feldspar rock formation is deposited by advancing glaciers. It would be amazing if I could get my hands on historical geology of this specific boulder.
On the fun note, I went to the edges and notice that there is a small crevasse that could be use to free solo this rock. There was an S formation of rock ledges, that can be easily doable for a rock free solo. Next time, I think I will bring my crash pad, and start free solo rock climbing in this area as it looks accessible. I hope no poison Ivy, but it looks really clear, I was also tempted to free solo a small section to see how far can I go.
At Blanchet Beach, I cannot help but take picture of a Clivus Multrum composting toilet. This is my first encounter of a composting toilet? Anyone else camping and seen this one?
Now, the portable potty stinks, but this one is bearable. I did not find this kind of toilet in parks near Ottawa, but Meech Lake has this one. Saves water...you don't have to flush it.

This is an amazing creek on top of the hike, just a block up the look out. At 218 meters elevation, this creek is well populated. About noon time, I hear bull frogs. And there was a beaver dam, in the middle, just close by the dead tree. The beaver dam looks massive in person, but in the general landscape, it looks like a little bump compared to the rock formations along the creek.
Tis a true statement. I believe I've informed everyone that I am the Cookie Monster, the Cookie Pimp, the Cookie Lord, the Cookie King, The Cookie Master.

I just get bitten and hope I don't get west nile.

I think this was 2011, a lady died in downtown Ottawa. The parked car opened the door, hit her...and she was thrown into the traffic where a car ran her over. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-cyclist-dies-after-hit-by-car-door-1.1024005
No one went to jail........but I do understand you concern on these very small distance between car and bike, and no physical barrier.
I think - if it is that tight of space, DO NOT put bike lanes. Just for everyone's safety.

tomorrow, i will be going to the garden with coffee in hand to check the damage.

I came back and my kingdom is still alive? This is definitely a different era in SK.
The outdoors @Mages....its amazing out there.

Just because -- its one of my favorite Orchid. Massive clumps along Wolf Trail.

does anyone thing organic vegetables is worth the price?
There was a time
When words don't rhyme
There was a night
When everything seems right
Raindrops falling
Heaven's blessing's?
Hearts Revenge?
None...I'm drenched.
