Up To Date Information
I noticed this notice by the pool (actually it is a splash pad) next to my local library. I’m sure the area was open last summer, so I guess keeping information current isn’t a priority for the City of Ottawa.
Randomness for a Wednesday
Given a choice between watching NHL playoff hockey on television and editing a post for today, I chose the hockey. Given that the team I was cheering for lost, it probably wasn’t the smartest move.
