Secular Sunday – Religion Is Increasingly Seen As Doing More Harm Than Good By Canadians

Even as an atheist, I’m pretty surprised that over half of the respondents to this survey said that religion is doing more harm than good in the world, up from 44% in 2011.

Throwback Thursday – Happy Anniversary to Me! (September 2008)

I started at Regina Public Library on September 8, 2008 so this year is my ten year anniversary at RPL.

Traditionally, people have thought of thirty years as a “typical” career in a workplace and though I worked for a decade in another sector before librarianship and though I also spent a couple years in a regional system after getting my MLIS, I guess this means I’m now entering my second decade at RPL and am now officially a mid-career librarian! 😉

Sadly, this poorly posed shot is my only photo of that day!

Music Monday – “Everything is better with some cows around/Living in town sometimes brings me down/Let me bestow this western blessing and share what I have found/May you always have cows around”

According to last.fm, this was my most played song of the summer.

Having camped with a farming/ranching family on one side and a guy who was not only a farmer/rancher but a cattle buyer at a livestock exchange on our other side, I can understand why! 😉
