62 years ago today, my father delivered #IHaveADream at the #MarchOnWashington for Jobs and Freedom.
The end is the most popular part but this segment is seldom shared.
I know why.

@CBCIsmaila my dog got lightly skunked about 3 times before she learned to avoid them (she is very smart and dislikes baths) . Peroxide can be used on pets, be careful around eyes.

Oh @CBCIsmaila that stinks! We saw a skunk on yesterdayās morning walk, reminding us of the time we were actively CHASED by a skunk in Cabbagetown. For blocks! Around corners! We didnāt shake him off till we crossed Gerrard and he wasnāt up for the traffic. Terrifying!

The fall colours are stunning this year and there are a couple of trees in my neighbourhood that seem to have better outfits than the others ... at least right now. I'd love to see your fall colour photos too.
