Friday Fun Link – World Tag Championships

This is pretty cool!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Skype Stitches (September 2013)

Pace was doing video calls long before it was cool – in this case, we needed a video call to show off his first stitches to Grandma and Grandpa.

“The Walls Are Closing In On The Unvaccinated”

An Angus Reid poll showed that 75 per cent of Canadians agreed with the statement “I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who chose not to be vaccinated and then got COVID-19.” In B.C., 53 per cent favoured making vaccines mandatory in public places to make life harder for unvaccinated people, while another […]

A Few Highlights From CWE “Cruel Summer” Wrestling Show in Weyburn, SK

Took Pace and his cousin to a wrestling show in Weyburn last Saturday and it was a blast bringing back fond memories of my dad taking me to a handful of Stampede Wrestling shows in Regina and Fort Qu’Appelle and even a few shows in my own hometown of Indian Head. A few highlights… 1. […]

Calgary Flames Fans Debate Vaccine Requirements

This thread may be the biggest shit show in the history of CalgaryPuck, a Calgary Flames fan site/message board I’ve been reading since 2001.

Happy Fourth of July! (And Where Would Sask Rate in Fully Vaccinated Rate If We Were A US State?)

  On July 4th when President Biden had set (and missed) a goal of 70% of Americans receiving at least their first vaccine, this list of where states are at in terms of full vaccinations is interesting (and probably not surprising) . In case, the link dies, the top 3 are: Vermont (66%) Massachusetts (62%) Maine […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Canada Day In Happier Times (July 2008)

Three years ago, I was placing second in our campground’s annual “Canada Day Decorating” contest. This year? Don’t really feel like decorating too much (though I did have a few ideas to subvert the contest but couldn’t find 751 orange helium balloons in time!) 🙁 At the risk of sounding like somebody on /r/entlightenedcentrism, I’m […]

Saturday Snap – Second Shot

Now to just get kids under 12 authorized to be vaccinated…
