Saturday Snap – Bring On Camping!

Looking forward to camping this summer as much as I probably ever have!

Friday Fun Link – Sing A Note

Can’t find it now but whoever posted this (likely on Reddit?) said this reminds them of the random silly amazingness of the early days of the Internet before a handful of tech giants controlled pretty much all content and discourse (and yes, I know there’s irony saying that since this is a YouTube video!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pace Turning Sixteen

Hard to believe Pace is 16 on May 19th!

When he was born, I was trying to take a photo of him with an “Oscar The Grouch” doll I bought Shea regularly. (We called Pace “Oscar the Grouch” in utero as he was often “grumpy”.)

I didn’t it every year like I had hoped but still fun to look back on…

“Except he’s the most terrifying cishet looking white guy I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”

Yes.  This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas.  And ball stadiums.  And the best football stadium in the country while showing their continued fiscal aptitude. Oh, and also fuck the homeless. Yay us?

Music Monday – “I’d get it one piece at a time and it wouldn’t cost me a dime/You’ll know it’s me when I come through your town/I’m gonna ride around in style, I’m gonna drive everybody wild/’Cause I’ll have the only one there is around”

One Piece at a Time” – Johnny Cash

Secular Sunday – If You Believe The Bible Literally, Both Eve and Jesus Were Transgender (Happy Mother’s Day!)

It’s all about where you get your chromosomes…

Saturday Snap – Charlie Echo

Holy crap, I didn’t think I could love something this much…

Friday Fun Link – The Scientific Case For Two Spaces After A Period

This.  Is.  Vindication.  For Myself.  And everyone.  Who took.  Typing.  On a manual typewriter.  In grade 10.  In 1989.

(Even Google agrees!)

Google Translate puts two spaces after the end of a sentence
by inmildlyinfuriating

There might even be a free speech argument for two spaces after a period?!?
