Shea and I really enjoying the camping lifestyle and, although it’s still a few years away, have begun talking about what it would be like to downsize our house and buy a small camper/motorhome/camper van and just travel around in that once we retire.
We got a glimpse of what it might be like this past weekend when we met a couple from Kingston, ON who had done exactly that – sold their home and bought a tiny camper and now basically live on the road permanently, having seen nearly every province and state since they began travelling (as the stickers covering their camper attest!)
I think Shea and I would want a *bit* more space than these folks had (I didn’t get a photo of the inside but it was basically a “bed on wheels” with nothing else – no bathroom, no sink, definitely no room to stand up. The camper even came with doors on each side so you didn’t have to crawl over your partner to get out though they admitted it was an acquired skill to learn how to dress while laying down!
Anyhow, it was an interesting conversation and we’ll see what the future brings…
This video is at ~5000 views as I type this. Will be interesting to see if it goes viral and jumps a lot higher as it appears designed to do just that…
We live in a pretty amazing world where I can use some of the world’s most advanced technology – the Internet, YouTube, wifi – to watch a video clip about one of the world’s most primitive societies.
As summer comes to an end, I thought this video was appropriate for a Secular Sunday post (and yes, it’s a Christian making fun of atheists for a change!)
The gist of the guy’s bit is what kids would learn at an Atheist Summer Camp and the irony is that Shea and I frequently lament that basically every summer camp in Saskatchewan is connected to one church or another and we *can’t* find a secular one.
I think it’s been eight years since we were last in Calgary which happened to be a weekend visit which combined a 50th Wedding Anniversary for a Calgary-based aunt and uncle and a 50th birthday party (featuring an appearance by The King!) for a Calgary cousin.
Here’s a picture of my dad with eight of his nine siblings who made it to the parties
One hundred and ten seems like a bit of an unusual anniversary to commemorate but anyhow,
