The Tobermory Marketplace is a fantastic venue and we really wanted to be there today. However, the poor air quality makes us setting up in the heat and smoke a risky adventure for us.

This is a screen capture of the AQI map for our area; it also has an image of our air monitor superimposed on it.

Our monitor’s purple light emitting diodes signal too many floating particles in the air column. The dawn outside our home is also a green-brown hue. Yeahhhhhhh, we can’t sling dog & cat treats during this extreme weather (atmospheric conditions) event. We’ll reschedule for NEXT WEDNESDAY, 10 A.M. UNTIL 1 P.M., JULY 22ND.

YOU CAN ALWAYS TEXT-CALL US AT 226-923-2968 IF YOU’D LIKE TO DROP BY AND BUY BISCUITS. WE ARE LOCATED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE HIGHWAY (DYERS BAY ROAD, ON-6 TURN-OFF). OR, WE CAN MEET YOU AT THE PARKING LOT BY DYERS BAY ROAD. CALL AHEAD TO NEGOTIATE TERMS, EH.

The last time it was this purple, I was blowing cannabis smoke directly into the sensor. Bad citizen-scientist. Bad. Bad. Bad.

Headspace meditation. And setting up a sales booth!

Owen Sound Farmer’s Market. July 11/26.

What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?

https://www.headspace.com …I pay for the yearly subscription and it unlocks additional features. Guided meditation (and a useful chat bot called Ebb) helps me gain additional quality of mind.

What villain actually had a good point?

…come by the harbour and shop around. NeemTree’s also available for knife sharpening services (1 week turn-around).

No gauntlets nor infinity stones in sight!

Visitors! Who enjoyed blackdogbiscuits…

Mindful breathing, cognitive behavioural therapeutic tools. Oh, and buying biscuits!

What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?

I appreciate the brave souls who persevered the heat and visited the event.

The gun-metal blue-grey clouds looming west of the city opened up once we were driving (defensively) up the Wiarton hill towards Colpoys Bay.

Today’s market experienced +41C humidex conditions. Gusting winds. And overheating patrons. We enjoyed the event and are REALLY glad to be recovering in our (Evolve Builders Grp. [Guelph]) strawbale home in the forest. Cooks, your Mitsubishi heat-pump is providing cooling relief!

Carnivorous skunk cabbage. Thankfully, biscuits are…

What’s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now?

…for sale at the Owen Sound Farmer’s Market. My childhood fear of west coast, British Columbian Lysichiton americanus was odd. They just looked like they attracted flies for consumption. They here was a memorable Scientific American article about the plant. It has heat generating tissue thet allows it to poke through spring snow and attract its pollinators. Flying insects! Hell, according to the forbidden website of knowledge (wikipedia link here), bears eat it as a natural laxative post hibernation.
