This chart showing global electricity sources over time is pretty good evidence that the days of coal and gas are drawing to a close.

Headlines today are more whack than ever, first some bright spark in Yukon managed to associate homelessness with a lack of housing (!), now we have this:

A headline from the Guardian referencing how (some) ski jumpers are injecting their penises with substances that make them bigger, thus requiring bigger suit crotches, reckoned to assist with flying....

Just built this ski rack Did I solve a problem, or simply confirm that I have one?

A newly constructed ski rack that is holding five sets of skis and at least six ski poles. The rack is on a deck, beside a door and partially in front of a window.

Move over Calgary, shit's getting real in Dawson City: After a series of water main ruptures and sewer freezes, the school, the college, the pub had to close, and the town is on a boil water advisory. So, no beer, and no water. Huh. And now:

A notice by the Dawson City Liquor store, advising that it will be closed for the (un)foreseeable future. This is a result of disruptions to Dawson's water and sewer systems.

Air your grievances!

I think Environment Canada's weather AI is frozen.... It really is minus 39 here this morning, but it absolutely is not smoky!

A screenshot of the banner on the weather forecast page for Dawson City, YT, Canada, showing the correct temperature - minus 39- but also, smoky conditions, an event that only happens when it is hot and wild fires are close.

I'm ashamed that we have to rally again, to protect the Peel, to uphold the treaties. But here we are. Sad and mad.

View of the just-frozen Yukon River at Dawson City Canada.
It shows that the ice fully extends across where in several of the past few years there has been a large open section.

I found the perfect way to while away a very cold evening. Tanning is surprisingly hard work, so it keeps me warm.

At least in St John New Brunswick, it might not be raining:

There is a certain Hotel California feeling to our local airport

A sign at the Dawson airport alerting passengers that the online check-in system does not work here, it's like being in 1992.

This trail might be rough, but at least it's dry!

The lack of snow and jagged ice make for a bumpy ride.

Today the Earth reached a very sad milestone when the global mean temperature hit 2 degrees above the pre-industrial base. And our temperature is still going up. Faster and faster.

It was minus 24 last night, so the ice is starting to thicken up. If it really drops to minus 30 on the weekend, as forecast, the river will soon be crossable again.

Looking across the partially frozen Yukon River at Dawson City. The river is full if ice floes, crowding each other in the shrinking channel between the bordering ice shelves.

This one really got me:😢

The surgery schedule in an MSF hospital in Gaza. It is so busy that they don't keep a schedule anymore, so they replaced the schedule with the following words on the whiteboard: "Whoever stays until the end will tell the story. We did what we could. *Remember us*"

Huh. Not that I care much one way or the other about the score, but it seems like we have something in common.....

Have you ever read "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children"? It's full of creepy Victorian photos like this.

If today stays just a little colder than forecast, this snow fall might just last until May!

It is the first significant snowfall of the year, and may become the base for this winter's snow!

Not everything works. I thought I had brought this habanero inside in time, but it does not look very promising.

I have a lot of luck with gardening; most of the veggies I eat, I have grown. But I struggle with peppers. A donated chile bush has supplied me with a year's worth of heat. But regular red bell peppers? Nah. So to have this one finally get ripe feels like a win!

It's special because it's the first one that ripened.
By now, it has been cooked...

These are the garlic that I am curing for storage. Almost as many again will be set aside for next year's crop. It's been a bountiful year!

Last week I was wondering if I jumped the gun by having my snow tires installed. Today, I'm congratulating myself on my prescience.
