Marilyn's Photos - Jan 26 2026 - There goes the Nexus pass
Remember how the song went?
It’s true! It’s true! The crown has made it clear. The climate must be perfect all the year”
This is particularly poignant today - I remember this line:
“And there’s a legal limit to the snow here In Camelot.”
I saw a Nexus headine and had an “aha” moment. Wasn’t it grand when we could go to the U.S. and back with a special card and just sail through customs. Like Camelot.
And now? Having to choose M or F for gender is a Canadian Charter issue. We include X gender on passports, so a clear risk for travellers with Nexus cards. Cards can be immediately revoked for infractions, and now there are restricted renewal options.
Our Federal government, back in September, advised X passport holders that they would be required to select M or F for Nexus renewals. There are 100,000 people in Canada who identify as non-binary or transgender, .33% of the population. (In the U.S. it is 1.6% of the population and 5% of 18 to 29 year-olds).
Did you ever have to unravel a knotted rope? It takes a long time. I just now getting the sense of how many knots there are. It seems very complicated.
And so Camelot plays out with this Reprise:
Each evening, from December to December, Before you drift to sleep upon your cot, Think back on all the tales that you remember Of Camelot.
Ask ev'ry person if he's heard the story, And tell it strong and clear if he has not, That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory Called Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
Now say it out with pride and joy! Camelot! Camelot!
Where once it never rained till after sundown, By eight a.m. the morning fog had flown. Don't let it be forgot That once there was a spot For one brief shining moment that was known As Camelot.
We got snow overnight. Lots of it. It is coming down lightly and will taper off. Below? A lovely Cuba resort scene from quite a while ago.
