We’re pretty lucky that this house is about a block from our house. And doubly lucky because the unseasonably warm weather allowed us to walk over in light jackets to check it out the other night.
That let us hear the outside speakers and although this angle doesn’t show it, the kids also loved seeing Santa and Mrs. Claus in the kitchen window!
Google has a site where you can create beats using artificial intelligence and everyday sounds.
It works for me on mobile but gives an error message on my laptop advising me to use Chrome – which is the browser that I use.
But anyhow, even with the weird glitch, wanted to share as it’s a pretty cool site.
I’ve always loved how cute Pace looks in this photo from our family trip to Hawaii in 2012…
10. Buying a drink at a local drug store recently, I got asked if I qualified for the “55+ Senior Discount”? (Apparently I should’ve bought a kit to dye this 43 year old’s grey beard!)
9. The Sask Party has announced a massive one billion dollar deficit which echoes the fiscal mismanagement of Brad Wall’s mentor, Grant Devine, in the 1980’s.
8. The Sask Party is citing “controlling labour costs” as a major way to deal with this deficit less than a year after adding three completely unnecessary MLA’s when they should’ve been cutting them.
7. The Sask Party just announced who will be taking over 50 *profitable* liquor stores as they move towards privatization. (The mind boggles at how their ideology trumps fiscal responsibility.)
6. Another sign of our province’s failing economy as 140 layoffs announced at Potash Corp of Saskatchewan with speculation that we haven’t hit bottom yet.
5. In the ultimate display of tone deafness, Native Americans are being tear gassed during Thanksgiving Week at Standing Rock.
4. Female politicians get treated horribly, especially online.
3. It was recently announced that Saskatchewan had the highest homicide rate in Canada in 2015.
2. Justin Trudeau is turning out to be exactly what I expected. Not really shitty news per se unless you actually believed that “sunny days” shit sandwich he served up after his election win.
1. Hillary Clinton got two million more votes but, according to the rules of the game, Donald Trump is still President-elect (and naming someone from the family who founded Amway as Education Secretary. I’m sure that will end well.) 😮
I had this bookmarked a long time ago but never got around to watching it. But it’s very prescient knowing what we know now…
Leonard Cohen is dead and Donald Trump is President-elect.
What a strange world we live in.

Pace and I watched this last night. He thought it was awesome and I nearly vomited.

A Hollywood accent coach made a video then followed it up with a Reddit AMA…
Only my son would figure out a way to turn a new hockey net into a parkour gym! 😉
