Music Monday – “I was thinking ’bout you crossing Southern Alberta/Canola fields at harvest time/Looked like tumbleweeds all raked up into rows/Brown rusty contour lines”

Gone Camping!

Technically, I have one day of work left but likely won’t get a chance to blog tomorrow as we’ll leave immediately after work. (And who wouldn’t be in a hurry to get to this place?!?)

Saturday Snap – But With Training Wheels?

Music Monday – “They put you in a pinewood box/And cover you up with dirt and rocks/It all goes well for about a week/And then, your coffin begins to leak”

I think I first heard this done by the Pogues but this song has been around since WWI, popular with both soldiers and children! Uhm, Happy Easter? “The Hearse Song” – Rusty Cage

Friday Funk Link – 10 Ways To Make A Winter Trip to West Edmonton Mall Feel Like A Tropical Vacation

Contrary to the impression you might get from some western Premiers, the Covid pandemic is not over. But with vaccinations and boosters also being increasingly common, we’re all slowly returning to “normal” (whatever that is.)
