Friday Fun Link – Off To Edmonton

Would love to be heading to Mexico or Cuba but instead, we’re off to Edmonton for a “hot” holiday for a week. I may or may not post through the week.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Premier Scott Moe Declares A State of Emergency (March 2020)

Now that Saskatchewan is in the midst of being one of the first provinces to remove basically all Covid-19 restrictions, stopping reporting Covid-19 stats except on a weekly basis and just generally pretending the pandemic is over because…reasons, I thought it’d be a nice bookend to revisit that initial press conference where Premier Moe first […]

Music Monday – “We’re gonna spite our noses/Right off of our faces/There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts/Dancin’ in our eyes.”

Any woman who would let me play this song as a “Last Dance” song at the end of the night during our wedding reception (to counter-point our first dance song) is okay by me. Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea!  Love you very much! “In Spite Of Ourselves” – John Prine

The Stuff of Nightmares!

So, one of my recurring dreams is that I’m swimming across the Atlantic Ocean (yeah, I know) and I’m up on the surface of the water but it’s perfectly clear so I can see a massive amount of fish, sharks, whales and all sorts of other aquatic creatures below me. When the dream recurs, it’s […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kauai/Maui Trip (January 2012)

A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time. Here’s a montage video I made of our trip which had eight days […]

Music Monday – “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi/Ain’t singin’ for Coke/I don’t sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke/This note’s for you”

There’s some irony that Warner Brothers Music Group won’t allow me to embed this anti-corporate sponsorship song on my blog. But worth a click-thru to watch a classic Neil Young song… “This Note’s For You” – Neil Young

Music Monday – “Yeah, to the farmers and the first responders/To the truck drivers shiftin’ gears/Every nurse that needs a break, let me buy you a drink/There ain’t no “I” in beer”

Great pandemic song/video and somewhat ironic that truckers get a shout-out given the KluTruxKlan “Freedom” convoy happening right now.   But the reality is unvaxxed truckers are a very small minority and most truckers and the national trucking association support vaccinations.   “No ‘I” in Beer” – Brad Paisley

Music Monday – “You know that old trees just grow stronger/And old rivers grow wilder every day/Old people just grow lonesome/Waiting for someone to say, “Hello in there, hello”

“Hello In There” – Ian Noe (John Prine Cover)

Scientific Sunday – Tonga Volcanic Eruption May Be Largest Ever Seen From Space

Pretty good summary of the recent volcanic eruption in the south pacific…
