I told LittleWx no more electronics for a few hours. No fighting which was great. He went for a quick bike ride, refilled the bird feeders and got down a Little Passports to work on. Wonderful.

Then I walk out into the kitchen to find him GETTING ICE CREAM AT 10:30 IN THE MORNING WITHOUT ASKING

Hey after all that hard work he needed a treat, also never to early for ice cream.;)

I could be one of those that just talks the whole time and shows like two short clips instead of just pairing up the two clips and letting the audience enjoy it.

That is up there with 'rock music playing over the wilderness experience' of things I hate with YT random video watching.
I'm not a big fan of some upbeat music played over drone videos of people getting shot or blown up. Yeah, when in war you want your side to win, but I don't need to see it with rock music playing over it.

While driving home, I spotted a vehicle with Alberta, Canada, plates. Once I got home, decided to pull up Google maps to look at Canadian geography. Good lord, I knew less than I thought I did.

Did you know there was a Canadian territory of Nunavut? And that the three territories are governed differently than the provinces? (Sorry, took the US government courses...had no real interest in Canadian government)
Yes, I knew these things but I have no idea of the detail of how they are governed differently. I remember when the creation of Nunavut hit the news. I thought that was a seminal moment in modern Canadian history.

Of course he didn't ask...he knew you would just say no.

As I recall, wasn't it a major recognition of the Inuit people?

I have to mute most of those. I get that they have no audio but they could choose some dramatic scores that would be appropriate and less jarring and over the top music than the rock music of a lot of them.

I figured out today's daily rescue in Octordle. When I first looked at it I didn't think I had a chance

All this talk about Canada reminds me of a joke.

When Canada was trying to think of names they couldn't decide on one so they decided to put all the letters of the alphabet in a jar and pull them out. the guy pulls the first letter and says "C eh" pulls the second and says "N eh" and finally pulls the third saying "D eh"
