“The Walls Are Closing In On The Unvaccinated”
An Angus Reid poll showed that 75 per cent of Canadians agreed with the statement “I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who chose not to be vaccinated and then got COVID-19.” In B.C., 53 per cent favoured making vaccines mandatory in public places to make life harder for unvaccinated people, while another […]
Music Monday – “I was born in a cross-fire hurricane/And I howled at my ma in the driving rain/But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas”
“Jumping Jack Flash” (Charlie Watts isolation footage) – Rolling Stones
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up? (June 2013)
I took Pace to a wrestling show last weekend but it wasn’t his first – we’d gone to one or two over the years and though he never became as obsessed as I was at his age, he did obviously watch wrestling on TV with me occasionally given what he told his kindergarten teacher he […]
A Few Highlights From CWE “Cruel Summer” Wrestling Show in Weyburn, SK
Took Pace and his cousin to a wrestling show in Weyburn last Saturday and it was a blast bringing back fond memories of my dad taking me to a handful of Stampede Wrestling shows in Regina and Fort Qu’Appelle and even a few shows in my own hometown of Indian Head. A few highlights… 1. […]
Calgary Flames Fans Debate Vaccine Requirements
This thread may be the biggest shit show in the history of CalgaryPuck, a Calgary Flames fan site/message board I’ve been reading since 2001. What starts as a discussion of the Jets announcing they’ll require proof of vaccination devolves as a series of antivaxxers keep popping up to make all sorts of logically and factually […]
Music Monday – “Well I looked in the sky today/Didn’t see a single plane/All my life there’s been streaks through the sky/Yeah I looked in the sky today”
“Another Day in the Life” – Cole Chaney
What’s The Easiest (and Hardest) Olympic Gold Medals To Win?
With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago. So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)
Music Monday – “I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm/The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won’t get snagged/The bells are ringing through the town again/The children look up, all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing”
Live music is slowly coming back including Jason Isbell covering R.E.M. at Red Rocks the other night. (Not to mention, that same night, I got to see a local artist covering an Isbell song at the Nickle Lake beer gardens which was just as enjoyable!) “Driver 8” – Jason Isbell (R.E.M. Cover)
New Southeast Regional Library (@srlhq) “Little Library” at Nickle Lake Regional Park
Can’t wait to check out (er, pun intended?) this little library out this weekend (and on a related note, I was hanging out with the new Weyburn Library Branch Head last weekend too. Yep, I’m that cool!) 🙂 The “Beaver Den” is the park’s arts & craft shack but I’m still bitter that my entry […]
