Milano Cortina Winter Olympics 2026 day 12 – in pictures

It’s so heartbreaking- I used to bring my students to library and market.. and unfortunately- I’ve had to stop. It’s just not safe.

I think YouTube is down. Is this true? Anyone? How is this possible 😎😬👌

This sunset over Hamilton today- Feb3, 2026. It’s magnificent. My gentle nudge to you …to stop, breathe, and be thankful for today even if it was hard- it was a day we got. Just here. Now. #hamont ❤️

February 1 in Hamilton- the harbour is frozen with a few brave ice fishers way out there.. and folks ice skating at Princess Point - lots of hikers, people on bikes… and the bluest of blue winter sky overhead.
Cold air, super bright sun…today was a mind-winter gift. #Hamont

I'll Rise - Ben Harper Live Paris, France 18-Apr-2000 YouTube video by JT

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise-Maya Angelou-Ben Harper.Let us all Rise. youtu.be/4p1VyrodJHI?...

❤️

Explain…

clear, crisp, cold. Another day wrapped in light.. across the Hammer #hamont I hope you found some moments of peace today. Tomorrow we begin again ❤️✌️

Hamilton Ontario Sunset

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated. - Maya Angelou ❤️ so much going on.. every night I take a moment, a breath, and watch the sun ball drop.. and reflect.
Enjoy Hamilton’s sunset and a video of our mostly frozen Bay #Hamont

Just announced- #hamont public schools are closed tomorrow!

Hamilton, Ontario under a blanket of snow. This is looking downtown and toward Strathcona Neighborhood -Queen street doesn’t look too bad (although I’m not driving on it 😬) #Hamont. And.. the Bay is mostly frozen over, I could see a tent on ice in Cootes area.

What about Hamilton? I don’t have the app ..

I’m wondering- Teachers, Professors, Instructors - will you drop your planned lesson and instead show/discuss Mark Carney’s speech tomorrow? Or did you already? If so please share context, grade and discussion . If not, share your worry, hesitation. It will be in history books. One day.

Winnipeg City Council committee approves, in open public session, permissions for a potential Westjet maintenance facility at Winnipeg's airport

Westjet is reportedly looking at Hamilton - Winnipeg has made clear, they want the jobs and tax revenue, and are not messing around. #yhmcc #HamOnt (1/3)

Love this station.. I visit during Salmon run season.. but haven’t seen it frozen like that.

Hang in there. Had this in December and knocked me out for a few weeks. :(

I also realized I spend too much on “accounts” so we discussed which to cancel or rotate. Saved $100! It may just be my personality-that tracking goals helps me- but I’ve been able to save a lot more this way and still be happy (most of the time)

I’m not saying this works fo everyone. But when you track it, it does impact choices. For instances, we noticed electricity bill was $35 higher last month and so we stopped doing laundry, or putting dishwasher on until after 7pm (prices are half then).

This includes the quick coffee after work, gas in car, lunch at market, Friday night beer. Tracking changed my life and choices. I also moved to a smaller home (with my kids) so we can live on LESS than our means and so I can afford to travel and pay fo their schooling.

Someone asks me how I afford to travel and pay for kids education (I’m a teacher). I track/ budget my money -down to the cent. I have a spreadsheet. Every bill/purchase is documented so when I reach the assigned limit -I don’t buy it or alter spending .

Beautiful!

Snowed all day, and now the sun sets over Hamilton Ontario.
I love how the light reflects here .. with the Niagara Escarpment catching the last glow. I hope you all had a good day in your part of the world.❤️#hamiltontario #Hamont
