With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
Some irony that the head of the world’s most successful video company would write a book but there you go. I’ve long been fascinated by how various tech companies (including Netflix) create and develop their corporate cultures and what traditional companies and organizations can learn from them. Hastings boils down Netflix’s competitive advantage over Blockbuster […]
Shea and I finally made it to Costco nearly four months to the day after our last visit, right after we returned from Mexico and right before Covid hit. I had to chuckle seeing someone buying a cartload of toilet paper imagining that’s probably what *every* cart at Costco looked like a couple months ago […]
Sasha lost one front tooth last weekend… …and the other front one last night!
I did a list like this about a month ago and so I thought I’d do another one as I’m now a few days into my *fourth* month of quarantine to see what’s front of mind these days… 1. Public libraries *finally* have a date for permitted opening which will be Phase Four Stage Two […]

Covid is the perfect disaster in a few ways… 1. Its devastation is truly worldwide. I was reading a book about pandemics and the author observed […]
“Fuck The Police” – NWA Here’s a few other random thoughts about what’s happening in the US the past few days after the murder of unarmed black man, George Floyd, by a group of Minneapolis Police Officers. * I honestly thought that the US was on the verge of something ugly (uglier?) because of COVID-19 […]
Shea and I had been tossing around the idea of upgrading to a bigger camper for a couple years but Covid sort of forced our hand this year. The initial restrictions for campgrounds included the fact that bathrooms would be closed and people would only be allowed to use their own camper’s facilities. Our rPod […]
