Back from an excellent week of camping in Cypress Hills so back to the grind in all manner of ways including here on the blog. A quick and easy update with one of my most played songs during the trip (which I think I’ve posted before but it’s worth posting again)…

Music Monday – “Can you track the deer/Can you dig the well/Couldn’t quite hear your answer/Couldn’t quite hear your answer/Think I see a rip in the social fabric/Brother, can you spare some ammo?”
Going camping so may be out of radio contact for the next few days. (Also hoping to get some new drywall and paint on this blog via a contractor while I’m away.) In the meantime, some post-apocalyptic blues…
Friday Fun Link – Swiper, No Swiping!
I’m not sure who’d enjoy this movie more – Pace or me? (via MetaFilter) CollegeHumor’s Favorite Funny Videos
Music Monday – “I don’t go in for ancient wisdom/I don’t believe just ’cause ideas are tenacious/It means that they’re worthy.”
Saw this meme on Facebook and thought I’d share since June 25 is halfway to Christmas and since it fits with Music Monday, why not post a Christmas song today? I’ve posted this one before but every time I listen to it, I just love it more and more. So sweet and funny and perfect. […]
Mick Burrs: Real Live Poet

Music Monday – “Maybe a lonely man/Who’s in the middle of something/That he doesn’t really understand.”
Happy 70th Birthday to Sir Paul McCartney (or is it?) Some of my personal faves of Sir Macca’s songs through the years with the Beatles, Wings and solo…
Friday Fun Link – Save a Library By Burning Books?
Brilliant! (via MetaFilter with a h/t to the colleague who sent it to me at the exact same moment!)
Shit Sighted People Say To Blind People
I try to keep this video in mind as I go about my work in the Outreach Unit at Regina Public Library. (Actually, the guy who made this video has a whole series that are worth checking out to get a humourous take on life as a blind person.)
Music Monday – “I need to be myself/I can’t be someone else/I’m feeling supersonic/Give me gin and tonic/You could have it all/But how much do you want it?”
Yet another example of the “slow an up-tempo song down to make it new” music trick – this time, by Noel Gallagher on his current tour with his new band, The High Flying Birds:
