Gone Camping – “I Googled My Symptoms”

RIP Barb Janicek (1975-2019)

One of the bad things about having a recurring “Friday Fun Link” theme post is that things often happen at the end of the week that leave me feeling in a less than fun mood. The Humboldt Broncos bus crash happened on a Friday, the Colten Boushie verdict came in on a Friday, more mass […]
