Finally introducing Marion (Sherwood Park) after months and months of teasing! She represents a bedroom community east of Edmonton that "technically" is one of the largest cities in Alberta... or would be, if it was actually a city.
Your first fun fact is that Marion was originally going to be named Campbelltown, but since there were too many Campbelltowns across Canada, Canada Post forced her to change it to avoid confusion. She's much much younger than most of the other munis being founded in 1953.
More fun facts below!
Tumblr media
Like Mac, Marion represents a "hamlet" in a very large service area, which means she can reap the benefits of being both rural and urban at the same time while also benefiting from living in Ed's shadow too.
I think generally the relationship between her and Ed is "he's scary! one time, i actually had to go to his house and nearly died!!"
where Ed is like "I don't know what her deal is or why she freaks out whenever I'm around" (meanwhile Edith trying to explode her with her mind)
She's just masc enough that Mac doesn't feel intimidated by her and they're best buddies. Her other close friends are other satellite communities such as Stab St. Albert and Spruce, etc.
Tumblr media
The Strathcona County Website boasts their own Raisin Sour Cream Pie Recipe, which is sooo mid-century 'Berta lol. Back in the 50s, Marion had much longer hair, but found the upkeep too difficult and sheared it all off some time in the last few decades.
Refinery Row occasionally makes national meme news, I remember seeing some "THIS CITY IN CANADA LOOKS LIKE THE EYE OF SAURON" type clickbait on blogto or some such thing that I can't find now, and apart from not being a city, we immediately clocked the location from the photo. It just looks like that sometimes. Don't worry about it. :)
Tumblr media
Like I say, don't worry about it!
Was doing a lot of newspaper research in the late 80s/early 90s and a plastics plant explosion was front page news for a while, so this was on my mind.

Good news everyone! I finished that book I said I was going to finish 1000 years too late. But it's given me a lot of ideas!
Thinking of framing chapter 9 around these two, I didn't realise they were pals since the 7th-6th centuries BC so I really have to think about that

"#but i have met europeans who absolutely Loathe that we consider ourselves funny" They?? Dislike that we think we're funny? Or that other countries think we're funny?? why???
man i had this girl (Eastern European/Baltic iirc) in my German class many years ago who got very adamant about how unfunny Canadians are when we were brainstorming Canadian stereotypes to the point she wanted it removed from the whiteboard - I was being very good and quiet because I tried really hard not to speak English in class and I just did not have the vocabulary to explain that there are internal stereotypes and external stereotypes and neither of them necessarily have to be true.
I think she was of the opinion that our internal stereotype that we're funny is Very Wrong, but humour obviously varies a lot just in the anglosphere alone and I have no idea what kinds of things she found funny if anything or where she got this impression from. It's also, I figure, because many of our stereotypes come from our own myopia and comparing ourselves to the States only, we don't always perceive ourselves in relation to the international community because, well, they either distinguish us from Americans or more often they don't anyway. I felt that trying to have that conversation with her would have been a waste of time (and part of me recognized that she was probably just homesick because I've seen that adamant refusal to understand in myself before, haha)

Classicstober: 10. Asklepios
(It's totally fine and normal to show up over a week late to a challenge)
I really wanted to do this challenge, but my attention has been so scattered by work and family lately that I tried to think of a low commitment version that would teach me something and still brighten up my sketchbook a little. I was thinking about how I used to get a lot of doodles in during art history and archaeology classes back in the day, so I'm trying to return to that with some dollar store pen and highlighter. :) I'm not sure if the entire series will look like this or if I'll just use whatever I have on hand, we will see.

"Explorer" - Opus Daily Practice Day 3
I recently finished s1 of Enterprise for the first time and I'm really enjoying it. I think one thing that sold me was 1x04 ("Strange New World") where they need a group photo for their first away mission and they've all got their matching hats, ha. Here's a quick doodle of that scene.
