Music Monday – Dogs, Dead Icons, & Halloween Classics

Delayed posting Music Monday until Tuesday due to something fairly significant I might write more about later but that has infuriated me. Anyhow, lots of possible themes for a Music Monday post so let’s hit them all… Got A New Dog… Jerry Lee Lewis dies (obligatory “He was problematic to say the least and yes, […]

Happy Halloween!

I’ve had this pic on my desktop since the late summer. I’d saved it as “HalloweenPostGiantBat.jpg”. But now that Halloween’s here, disappointed (but probably not surprised) to learn it’s a hoax (or at least an exaggeration.) Anyhow, a good reminder about not believing everything you see online and doing the minimum of research before spreading […]

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”

“Canola Fields” – James McMurtry

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?

With this bike parade happening in Weyburn, I can’t help but think that some of these kids will likely grow up to join flag-festooned convoys of a different type when they’re older… 🙂

Friday Fun Link – Happy Canada Day?

I accidentally ripped this decoration off a kid’s bike during a Bike Parade for Canada Day at Nickle Lake when my father-in-law and I were trying to work around it to help him get his chain back on. But I feel like this photo may be a metaphor for Canada in some ways too…

Saturday Snap – Bubble Gum Bay?

Our campground asks for volunteers to look after the various flowerbeds scattered throughout the park each summer. A couple campers created an amazingly creative and colourful “bubblegum” themed design at the entrance to the Dorsch Bay area of the park. I snapped the picture below as I went by and didn’t even realise I’d caught […]

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
