Saskatoon’s just defeated mayor missed the Gay Pride parade during his thirteen years in the Mayor’s Chair (no matter his personal feelings, he obviously missed the memo about representing all citizens of his city.)
Anyhow, I get the impression Saskatoon’s new mayor won’t miss the parade…
When I worked for Southeast Regional Library, I came in to find someone had photocopied the cover of a new library book and added it to my door as a decoration.
Hmmm…
It came a bit late in the day but turns out that actor/comedian, Zach Galifianakas has endorsed Charlie Clark for Mayor of Saskatoon!
Turns out that the Hollywood star is actually connected to Charlie Clark as he is married to Clark’s cousin.
We didn’t get here when we were in the Mayan Riviera during our wedding in 2003 and I don’t know if we’ll have time during our upcoming trip this winter.
But this would definitely be something to see (and I know one parkour freak in our family who would *love* to climb this steep pyramid!)
Heard this while listening to our satellite TV’s “Tropical” station. (No idea if the Google Translation of some lyrics in the title of this post is accurate or not.)

A Mexican brewery tricked Donald Trump supporters outside one of his rallies into buying shirts that appeared to have a pro-Trump message but, when the temperature rose, would display an anti-Trump message.
The brewer promised to use proceeds from the sale to fund an election party in Mexico around the time of the election.
My branch has recently received one of two 3D Printers that RPL is rotating through our various branches.
We’ll have it until May 2017 or so but one of my staff has already caught the bug and printed a whole rainbow of business card holders for us…
The Al Smith Dinner is an American political institution. Since 1960, this fundraiser for underprivileged children put on by the Archdiocese of New York in memory of a former New York Governor and the first Catholic to run for President.
It usually features the two Presidential candidates in a humourous, roast-style environment which is usually their last face-to-face encounter, following the completion of the debates but before the election.
This year’s event happened to be scheduled for the day after the third and final debate . Normally, the event is often a way for the candidates to show a lighter, more human side and that they’re ultimately respectful of each other as rivals, even in the midst of a hard fought election. But in true Donald Trump style, “Cheeto Benito” managed to even light a dumpster fire at the dinner with his tone deaf jokes that led to him getting booed by the well-heeled crowd.
I never realised how the Netflix interface of rows of similar-themed movies mimics the layout of an old-fashioned video store.
(Also note, this was around Grey Cup time and Pace was sporting a Riders jacket *and* green hair!)
I have enjoyed the three Presidential debates bigly.
Some sharp person caught that Hillary wore a red pantsuit, a blue pantsuit and a white pantsuit in the three debates she participated in.
