Frankie didn’t come by all night last night so I was afraid maybe I’d actually succeeded in putting the run on her for good. Nope. She came by this afternoon. I was sitting in the back yard and I heard a clatter. I thought maybe it was her pushing the lid off of the compost. I went over towards the compost and the lid was off and her little face popped up from inside. As I tried to get my camera ready to take her pic, she poked the rest of her face out and she had a whole bagel in her mouth. It was SO CUTE! Unfortunately I wasn’t fast enough to get a pic of her like that.
Later in the evening, I went to lay down in the tent and listen to some German lessons while Brent and Doug watched the news. After I’d been out for maybe ten minutes, Brent came out and told me he and Doug had just seen a large black bear walk past the front of the house and down the street. Brent and I moved our tent from the back yard up onto the deck, which is quite high off the ground. Never a dull moment wildlife-wise around here.

In the evening we went for dinner and drinks at the Meridian Arms Pub with some of Brent’s old school mates.

Today was the big Rogers outage across the country. Rogers phone and internet is out, as well as ATM service across the country. This is the second time in 15 months that Rogers has had an outage like this and it sounds like this time is similar to last time - self-inflicted. Some system upgrade or something. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it was some kind of cyber attack- it’s been pretty disruptive for the whole country.
