dewline: Exclamation: "Hear, Hear!" (celebration)
I mentioned privately last week that I'd been accepted for enrolment into the Canadian Dental Insurance Plan. The one that our federal government hired Sun Life to administer for everyone earning less than C$90K/year and not already covered by their employer or their province?

That one.

I finally got the card in the papermail from Sun Life today.

Orange and pink and white plastic.

It's just hitting me now that, after over three decades of paying out of pocket by instalments for my dental health basics - exams, fillings and repairs of same, that sort of thing - I no longer have to worry about that part of my life's financial juggling. It's already covered through my federal income tax from now on unless I land a sufficiently lucrative job with its own coverage.

Hoping it all works out.

I found out today - or was reminded today, I'm not entirely sure as I've downloaded resources from the IAU on the subject of star names in the past year and then neglected to review them carefully - that in 2015, a star in Monoceros - HD 45652 - was named "Lusitânia", in connection with their Name ExoWorlds programme. The one known planet orbiting it is named "Viriato". For the purposes of the projects I'm working on with the Tranquility Press fanfic gang, it's in Klingon space as of 2240-2410.

I love that this astronomical naming process is picking up speed in my lifetime!

The Bay was a retail fixture of my life. I didn't expect to outlive the company.

Red sky at night, superheroes' fright.
Red sky in the morning, superheroes' warning.

Comics fans will either know or quickly learn why Wolfman and Perez are named here.

Scalzi? Here's why.

Finally.

Having a little fun with the map projects before bed. Equuelus, Hercules, Sagitta, Corona Borealis, Aquila, that general neighbourhood. Places like Kitalpha, Ancha, Bunda, Libertas? Breen neighbourhoods!

Noting that today is - among other things - Red Dress Day, Dutch Liberation Day, Danish Liberation Day and Cinco de Mayo. Whatever you're observing in whatever way today, may the day be kind to you.

I've been reminded over on TrekBBS that there's ongoing medical fundraisers for two writers whose work on comic books and on Star Trek I've enjoyed reading and re-reading over the decades.

You may have heard in recent months of the Canadian COVID Society. They're looking out for the rights of people living with, or trying to avoid having to live with, COVID infections across Confederation.

They just announced a new resource for such people:
