Sigh. Absolutely. “@jelyot: Canada is tuning in to Kingston right now. Would that it was for a more pleasant circumstance. #ygk #shafia”

Welcome home @gojeffcho. On behalf of the country, I thank you for your service. Now, go kiss your wife. Soon.

If anyone in #ygk knows of a red Ford Escort with fresh front-end damage, find out where they were around noon. Dad was in a hit and run.

We have some serious education work to do at City Hall. No fruit trees because they attract bees & wasps? Way to doom a garden to failure.

Whoa RT @vieiraflytrap: Hwy 401 eastbound closure now stretches from Joyceville Rd all the way to Edward Street (exit 716). #ygk @ygktraffic

@kingstonpolice @samuraimark What a load of crap. Court oversight was instituted for a very good reason: to reign in police excess.

@citynews reporting guilty of 1st degree murder. #shafia

It's mediation day 2 of a planned 4 between @qufatweet and @queensu. Trying to hammer out a contract before Sunday night's deadline. #strike

According to a letter leaked to campus labour groups in June, @queensprincipal seems ready for extended unrest: http://bit.ly/pCPVon #queens

The drunk neighbours are singing Lady Gaga. Again. I can't decide if that's better than previous years' Celine Dion or worse. #TheBurbs

Wouldn't it be nice if the tech giants defaulted to protecting your privacy instead of comprehensively logging your movements?

I agree RT @ararmaher: Do not follow these amazing writers at your own risk: @ggreenwald @jeremyscahill @mazmhussain @harriswriter #FF

As a Canadian, this trouble me greatly. I wish @badastronomer were incorrect. Canada Sells Out Science  http://slate.me/17ZC6b0 

OMG: "Scientific discovery is not valuable unless it has commercial value," John McDougall, president of the NRC.

CBC News is reporting that the National Research Council will be concentrating on commercially exploitable science, less pure science.

@ygktraffic @reccewife Booster cables, properly inflated spare tire ....

Hmph. Today I learned that Mount Everest has excellent cell phone coverage. 3G data as well. All the way to the top.  http://tcrn.ch/ZTJcve 

@gojeffcho A lot of feeds would be silent. LOL

@c_vilela It's terrible. It's also interesting that the panda cost matches the budget "savings" from closing the Experimental Lakes Area.

If anyone needs magnets or loans, let me know. I have some odd spam this morning.
