New year, new additions to my map of little free libraries in the east end of Toronto (for this project: roughly Broadview to Woodbine, O'Connor to the lake) -- now over 100 identified!

Two fake Christmas trees, a large one with frosted needles and a small green one.
From the hallway to car rental at Halifax Stanfield Airport. I thought maybe the offspring tree just hadn‘t been decorated yet, but after two days it was still just there, like an afterthought.
Hoping our Fit lasts until Honda comes to its senses and starts selling them in Canada again (I think the Jazz, which is the Euro name for it, may live on?)
I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.
Tanks
I couldn’t even turn on the sound until the last strikeout.
Ah, @dylanreid.bsky.social and I were wondering what that big ship was!
I remembered this as soon as I heard it! Definitely an earworm
In my neighbourhood - you’re making it easy! Will stop by.
A photo of Canadian actor Graham Greene during the filming of 1991’s Clearcut
My dad died a month ago. Among his photos I found some he’d taken on the shoots of movies and TV he‘d worked on as a sound recordist/mixer — including some nice ones of the late Graham Greene while filming Clearcut, the 1991 indigenous horror movie that was featured at that year‘s TIFF.
There’s at least two of us, after all…
How did I get this far in life without knowing about "corn sweat" and its contribution to stifling humidity?

Really enjoyed this!
The oven has been turned off. #dlws
Image of Popes John Paul I and II and title “Habemus Papam”
Description of album contents, including interviews with journalists and the announcement of a new Pope
Slightly regretting that I didn’t pick up this 1979 album from my neighbour’s lawn when I had the chance.
I never knew that was the original Sick Kids! Was it then OCA for a while after that?
Good chance to bring out the “wintry mix” term I’ve seen used from time to time.
The private viewing reminded me of going to see a matinee in an upstairs cinema - "Barrikadnaya" - in 1990s St. Petersburg, where, since I was the only customer, they were discussing whether to bother starting the projector. I persisted.
Saw a few movies at this space on Gerrard during its last revival as a cinema, including what ended up being a private viewing (me and spouse) of the great Turkish film Winter Sleep. Great to hear it's coming back to life as a music venue.

Thanks to @patrickcain.bsky.social for this great overview of the Don River naturalization project in Toronto Today - excited to learn some of the parkland will be open this summer: www.torontotoday.ca/local/enviro...
For no apparent reason when I slipped on ear buds on the way out the door for a frigid run early this morning they were streaming Renaissance polyphony off Apple Music. I was about to switch to a podcast when I realized it was, in fact, exactly what I needed to start this February day.
Free HBO!
Coming here to say that! Moose and Beaver!
He sounds like a local merchant rather than a cartoon character. Who knew there were Pillsbury scones? And what is “Easter bake”??
I had forgotten about a bunch of what is captured in here by the time I read it: www.dundurn.com/books_/t2211...
Les Éboulements, Charlevoix County
A.Y. Jackson

I actually love these bungalows with the little garages. Were a bunch in East York, disappearing one by one.
Breakfast with Marmalade
Joseph Plaskett
1976
North Shore, St Lawrence
Dr. Maurice Hall Haycock
1947
I am a frequent gatherer from and donor to little free libraries, and user of the public library, so many books pass through during the year.
