  • Broken Area - Episode 444 - Square Negative Three

    It’s a really nice day.

    Then I got to the store and realized I’d forgotten our bags.

    Isabelle returned with them.

    Then Isabelle tried to imagine Tom Merritt’s house.

    Bag.

    They moved the vermouth.

    Hopefully get on my bike today.

    Oh I put new brakes on my bike, and there is a picture any everything.

  • Broken Area - Episode 443 - Official Francophone Entity

    Nice day today.

    We went to Sudbury for a little trip.

    Rogers had a big outage yesterday. This lead to Interac being down, which was bad.

    I used cash today!

    Isabelle has a thing today.

    It’s been pretty cool this summer so far, Im not complaining but it its a bit odd.

  • Broken Area - Episode 442 - Practice Rabbits.

    Back to Saturday.

    Everyone and their brother was shopping today, I guess because yesterday was a holiday and, inexplicably, everyone shops like crazy adjacent to a holiday.

    Isabelle is enjoying her course, and painting in the car (not while driving).

    St. Jean was fun last week.

    Single use plastic bags are out, so it was like pre pandemic in there.

    Isabelle couldn’t find me any earrings, but she found some for herself.

    Why is it always windy?

  • Broken Area - Episode 441 - OK, Now It's Summer

    A day early.

    Some really bad shit went down in the USA today.

    Today is St. Jean Baptiste Day. Tomorrow there’s a thing downtown, and we’ll be going.

    Last week had my birthday and Fathers’ Day. This week doesn’t.

    I don’t know if I’ll be going to the USA any time soon.

    I got a new charger for the lawn mower!

    We had a fire last night, it was fun.

  • Broken Area - Episode 440 - Dave Week

    Today is Fathers’ Day. It’s sort of odd that we have such a day.

    Kids day is all of the rest of the days.

    Isabelle has been really putting in a lot of work in the past week.

    Isabelle bought tickets to a drag show, she’s very excited!

    It’s been stupidly windy, so much so that I haven’t ridden my bike since Wednesday.

    The Canadian Grand Prix is today!

    Isabelle took part in an art sale, and enjoyed herself.

    I had a drink via Zoom with an old friend.

  • Broken Area - Episode 439 - Condavecation

    It’s convocation day, so this is a bit of a short one, and it is being posted well after it was recorded.

    Also, I didn’t use my phone for it, I used the old Zoom H2.

    Convocation is nice, but it is long. Congratulations to our graduates.

    Isabelle has been supply teaching.

    I’ve been podcasting I guess.

    I’ve been biking a lot.

    I actually can’t remember what we talked about, it was hours ago…..

    Oh yeah, it goes without saying that we stand for democracy, We stand with Ukraine.

    Back to Saturday today.

    It’s nice out, 13 degrees, probably going to hit 20, very little wind.

    Isabelle has been teaching art.

    Isabelle has been teaching elementary school. I could not do that job.

    I’ve been riding my bike.

    There are job interviews I have to attend next week.

    Mask compliance wasn’t bad.

    I saw a friend in the grocery store.

  • Broken Area - Episode 437 - Dandelion Season

    Isabelle is back from her trip,

    I had a good week with Jon.

    Why can’t people have some class?

    The sign was different, yet non offensive.

    Jon had a big week too.

    It’s very nice out.

    I might drink Old Fashioneds today.

    Isabelle is teaching again this week.

  • Broken Area - Episode 436 - Erosion of the Parking Lot

    Short one today.

    Isabelle is off on a trip this coming week.

    Fewer people are wearing masks.

    The sign game is pretty much dead, good really.

    The power went out yesterday, as did the cable.

    Why do we still have a land line?

    What kind of truck was that?

    It was warm then it was cold.

  • Broken Area - Episode 435 - China Syndrome Shower

    Pretty sure I’m mixing this up with Silkwood.

    I’m going to have to start mowing soon.

    It’s very nice today, about 21 as I type this.

    It’s been very hot for the time of year.

    Isabelle is off onnn another trip soon.

    Sticking to gin.

    Mask wearing is way down.

    The sign remains the same.
