In German zey have a wurd for ze person who is feeling pleasure or joy derived from witnessing or learning about ze troubles, failures, or humiliation of others, and zat wurd is "schadenfreude".

It was my first feeling upon learning the Buds had scored the 1st pick in the 2026 NHL draft.

Not joy or pleasure in knowing we'll secure a phenomenal talent in Gavin McKenna.

No, no, no. I am waaaayyyy too petty a human being for that.

It was joy and pleasure from knowing this will pizz off every fan of every other NHL team.

I'm floating like ze schmetterling with joy. Flapping, flapping, flap, flap.

Yes!!!

In WWII, one did not want to be of fighting age in Newfoundland and be seen as not fighting for King and Country.

Alas, not all who volunteered to serve met the physical requirements and were turned down.

For them, there was this pin to let one and all know that one had volunteered, as was one's duty.

My grandfather was turned down. This was his pin. He served instead in the Merchant Navy in his and his brother's schooner.

Thank you to Indie88Toronto for the tix, which Jen won last fall. It was amazeballs finally seeing Green Day after 3 decades of listening to Dookie and the subsequent albums.

Twofer shot on 22 June 2024 from Lakeside Park in Clarkson, Mississauga, ON.

On the left is MT Northern Spirit at the Petro-Canada Lubricants Pier, and on the right is MV Algoma Sault at the Ash Grove Cement Pier.

The beach gets its red appearance from discarded fragments of red clay pipe from the old Hamilton and Toronto Sewer Pipe Company factory built in 1955 with the idea of operating a state of the art facility. The press release claimed that the new building would accommodate every new advance in pipe technology, manufacturing, and installation. For the next 25 years, the facility would produce various sizes of baked clay pipes. As with any manufacturing, there were often pieces that didn’t meet the company’s quality standards. These pipes were piled up at the edge of the property along the shore of Lake Ontario. (SOURCE - https://hikingthegta.com)

Alright, alright, alright. Looky here my friends.

What's better than a Captain's Salute?

A Hi from Sy!!!

I was poking around trying to find a spot to photograph MV Frontenac from, what with the Cherry Street Bascule Bridge out of order again and blocking my usual perch, and happened across Sy as he waited for his uber.
