I hear you on the forms. I never quite get them right either. I would blame it on poor UI design too, now that I have been exposed to UI designers and understand what it means. Sorry to hear about OSC - that's a horrible way to shut it down on top of it all.

I just added that in a comment. When I was doing a blog for Science World, I initially called it The Life Scientific with Raymond Nakamura.

O no! I didn't know about the Ontario Science Centre being shut down! That's terrible news. I'm so sad.

Favorite Wes Anderson movie? That's difficult... Isle of Dogs, Moonrise Kingdom, and The French Dispatch are all up there.

Agreed. As a marine biologist, however, I must say The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpU0DZXTGA0

By the way, I happened to be at Van Dusen Garden today with a friend, which reminded me of our stroll there when you were in town.

Although it is encouraging to think it is not just me, but it is also perhaps more disheartening to think the systems are just badly designed because that is harder for me to improve.

Thanks for sending me the petition to the Premier of Ontario regarding the OSC, Ray. Unfortunately, I can't sign the petition without a valid Ontario postcode. I hope many many others sign the petition and stop the closure! I love the OSC.

Dog poop. We have irresponsible owners let their dogs poo on our front lawn and the boulevard by the roadside, but I don't know where the poop comes from IN BETWEEN our and neighbour's house. Are dogs running free, as it would be a deliberate walk from the sidewalk to the space in between our houses. But I've only noticed 2x
