I'm super happy that it's sunny on this work-from-home day for me.

@dillyd If you find a RH mitten, upright, on a fence post it means 'Don't bother, I've moved to Michigan.'
-
@dillyd Folks do that in Toronto, too! And probably a lot of other places.
It’s so friendly.

A common sight in Quebec, the fallen glove that has been placed on a fence post in hopes that its owner will find it when they pass by again. A sign of optimism and good will towards strangers.
#MagicInTheMundane@dillyd We do this here too, usually it’s something that’s been dropped from a push chair.
I am very good at losing one glove. I don’t think I have ever found any of them again.

@lydiaschoch @dillyd It even happens in Philadelphia!

I'm super happy that it's sunny on this work-from-home day for me. I was able to skip out for a nice walk, and I can make up the work later.
#snow@dillyd nice to get a midday outing :)

@Broadfork @dillyd my best results are in moderate fresh snow in the bush- when I can retrace my footsteps (literally) and see the glove against the white! (on bare ground, retracing my very convoluted steps is tricky, and of course deep snow might simply swallow the items-not always gloves, my hatchet is a frequent flier...lol)

@Broadfork @dillyd btw, had to look up push chair- wasn't sure if it was for a small child (stroller, here) or for someone with mobility issues (wheelchair)- I guess it's the former?

@Broadfork this year was the first time I lost a single glove, and I didn't find it

The other day while biking, I lost a handkerchief. I didn't even bother looking for it: white handkerchief in white snow. I'll need to start using dark handkerchiefs in the winter. -

I'll need to start using dark handkerchiefs in the winter.@dillyd @Broadfork this was a big benefit of those dollar store work gloves with fabricky tops and vinyl(?) palms- thin for summer thick for winter- as the fabricy parts are fluorescent.. I stopped getting the winter ones, though, as the palms don't hold up long to handling rough wood (though nothing really does..)

@cohanf @dillyd Yes, the former. Here a pushchair, stroller, pram or buggy are all interchangeable terms for equipment to move small children about in.
A wheelchair is for use by anyone with mobility issues.
Here in the UK toys are mostly chucked out of prams by children.
In America it seems it’s mostly done by their richest adults.

I think 'pram' should be generally understood here, though not too often used (could be regional and generational differences) .. buggy is more likely used for other sorts of vehicles etc
lol-- yes, children do love to chuck things from wherever they may be perched-- I think sometimes watching their caretakers play 'fetch' is half the fun..
The dreadful habits of the 1% I won't comment on...lol -
@carolannie we saw a pair of snowpants in the middle of the road once! Maybe related to boots 😂
@dillyd oh interesting 🤔

@Broadfork @dillyd lol we'll be waiting..

@Broadfork @dillyd I don't do much walking where there are other people these days, but I've oddly found a few things in the bush here: a couple of golf balls on various occasions! Very odd here, I can't easily imagine any neighbours (only one property near enough) or my relatives (their houses also not near, but some drive through)- golfing! Likeliest is that when my sister was here her kids were playing with them, but they were found outside the yard/garden a decade or two later!

Slightly different category, but depending on what you find, keep in mind #flosstodon and #trashtodon

@liambradbury welcome! Glad you made it here :)

Oh, no, a guy who drank unboiled, untreated, water is having urgent stomach distress. Who could have predicted this?

Dustin's a sweetheart, worrying about whether the other guys got their shelters up.

OK, Wayne had a real bear scare. I reckon he's justified in bailing out.
Sam's looking awful cozy, though.

Ah, hell, his name is Joe. But, dude, you had a fire going when you lost the fire starter. Just keep it going forever. Where else you gotta be that you can't put a log on the fire every couple hours? Night time is a challenge, but if you keep it reasonably dry, you can stoke it back to life again in the morning.
-
Doomed by misplacing the fire starter is relatable. I would definitely lose something vitally important to my survival immediately.
