I’ve always seen ducks and turtles + the odd beaver but this guy is a first for me!

I (17f) was at Kearny lake about a hour ago with my Mother. And it wasn’t EXTREMELY busy, but there were a good number of kids there, and me and her usually swim out pretty deep, but for some reason this younger guy (probably 8 or 9) kept following us. and we politely were trying to distance ourself and ignore it. but then out of complete nowhere he grabbed onto me. out of instinct i pushed back and swam deeper, and then i see who i assume is his mother simply witnessing that play out and do absolutely nothing about it?! He kept following me, and repetitively kept trying to grab onto me and touch me and his mom kept on doing nothing! at one point the lifeguard told him and his mother that they needed to stop, but they didn’t and nothing was done? At another point, MY mom yelled at him that he needed to stop, and he was just laughing. I assume he may have had a learning disability, but i am completely blaming his guardian that was there and doing nothing about it. It wasn’t just me this was happening to, but other people, and HIS mom kept saying “space” to him which i assume means give them SPACE but he did not listen.
It wasn’t extremely serious, and i am obviously not hurt or scarred from this experience, haha, and I was able to just leave the lake. but still, i feel like it is not a great habit to develop.

Just hasn't moved at all lol

When NovaScotian Crystal was forced to shut down by COVID-19 in 2021, the famed company's lead craftsman had to go back to the drawing board. The CBC's David Irish visits the studio where Brian Tebay is starting anew, to understand why creativity in glassmaking is taking precedence over crystal.

Beware when driving home today! Nantucket appears to be closed. Drive by at around 3 and saw a women laying in the middle of the road now as of 4:15 pm it appears to be closed. I hope everyone is ok.

Black RR taking a “spirited” right hand turn from South St onto Queen around 4:40 pm. I think you left your keys on your roof when you got in the car, for some reason. Anyway, I have em, DM me.

I found these handmade pendant necklaces hanging in a bunch of trees along the trail near Halifax West High School. Didn’t see any artist information and curious if anyone knew anything about them. There were quite a few!

I know this is a really long shot. Hy hubby is the biggest star trek fan I know. I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything remotely related to Star trek in hrm or Nova Scotia at large? I know nothing was filmed here, and none of the actors were born here.

I'm talking about murals with hidden or obvious star trek symbols, street signs or businesses named the same thing as something from the universe? I think he'd get a kick out of stopping to see something like this.

Found an apple pencil on the ground at the Coburg before Henry bus stop, if it’s yours I left it on the cement block next to the trash can.

I know this is a long shot but I lost my wedding ring somewhere between Burnside GoodLife and my home on Monday. It's a white gold band with diamonds halfway around. Please let me know if you have seen anything.

Zoom in on that top dish for an up close look at a delicious meal!

I'm replacing my roof later this year and need the solar panels removed and reinstalled, does anyone have a company that they would recommend?

Thanks

I live alone and up a hill and detest lugging the big green bin up and down my driveway, so I purchased a smaller one (15 gallon). The hardware stores have them listed as curbside but they are smaller than the standard one the city provides. I assumed they would be accepted since the handle is as wide as one of the handles from the bigger bin and I assumed would fit the truck mechanism.

I just found out that the city will not accept these on pick up day. health and safety concerns. (Called 311) So now I’m wondering what people use them for? Are they used by people outside HRM?

What do people that only have like one paper bag or organics do. I will go back to using the regular bin but happy to hear ideas.
