One of our little Red foxes. Surprised when it realized that the glass door was open and I was right there, only about three feet / one meter away and wasn't sure about the camera, but once he realized that I wasn't coming out, decided that I was probably OK.17 May 2026 04:01 +0000at://did:plc:fyrnmflg26sqxv2mo2oxhrd3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlzhzw62jk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/mpk27501.bsky.social/post/3mlrofyselk2vI told everyone, this American Veteran will carry his every step of the way to, and through my Canada Army Run, this September in Ottawa.14 May 2026 01:34 +0000at://did:plc:fyrnmflg26sqxv2mo2oxhrd3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlrofyselk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/mpk27501.bsky.social/post/3mlmpzputb22qAfter about a week of not walking (combination of a couple of trips down to Pembroke, and honestly, just "not feeling it" - I needed a break) I was back at it today on the treadmill.12 May 2026 02:19 +0000at://did:plc:fyrnmflg26sqxv2mo2oxhrd3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlmpzputb22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/mpk27501.bsky.social/post/3ml2ifrd7o22sHere's my 1917 Canadian cent.
