The Atlantic has a paywall but allows a certain number of free visits each month so hopefully you can get in (or have a VPN or use Incognito Mode). This is a pretty amazing photo essay. (via MetaFilter)
I can’t remember the last time Shea and I took recycling to Sarcan but I’m pretty sure it was before Covid and possibly not since around *last* Christmas since we only take cans every few months once they build up. Of course with Sarcan having been shut down for a few months plus our somewhat […]
With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
Found this picture of Shea wearing a mask from 2005 – I can’t remember the context though – could’ve been one she was wearing as a nurse, could’ve been because we were doing painting or using some sort of chemical!
Before we go away on any extended holiday, I usually post some sort of “Gone Camping/Gone Beaching” message to let people know I probably won’t be posting much. This time, I completely forgot to do that but I suspect any regular reader of this blog figured that’s probably what’s up if/when I drop off the […]
Being *encouraged* to wear a mask to go into banks!
Showed up at our campsite last weekend to find a neighbour had surprised us with a custom decorated chair that had been converted into a plant holder (plants courtesy Shea and her green thumb!)

Given that we shut down just before March 20/21, we’re technically into our third season of living with Covid – winter, spring and now summer. And there will likely be many more seasons of Covid-life to […]
A friend who used to live on my street (and may have been one of my first “girlfriends”?) posted this to her Facebook page recently. I honestly thought “maybe we dressed like that because…80’s?”. But turns out it’s from her birthday (how old are we in this pic – 7? 8?) and the “unique” fashion […]
I briefly thought of backdating a bunch of photo posts, one for every day of our recent camping holiday but realised that’d be a lot of work (not to mention more evidence of my self-diagnosed OCD regarding my “must post daily” goal.) Anyhow, I thought I’d post just a few highlights in a single post […]
