Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Favourite US Trip? (January 2012)

After last week’s post thinking back to the last time I think I traveled to the US, I thought it’d be fun to also highlight what was probably my favourite US trip ever for another “Throwback Thursday” post. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)

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 […]

Life Is Better At The Lake!

Before we go away on any extended holiday, I usually post some sort of “Gone Camping/Gone Beaching” message to let people know I probably won’t be posting much. This time, I completely forgot to do that but I suspect any regular reader of this blog figured that’s probably what’s up if/when I drop off the […]

10 Things That Make You A Bad Campground Guest

I did a list of “10 Things That Make You A Bad All-Inclusive Guest” previously so with a summer of camping slowly drawing to a close once again, I thought I’d do a similar list for camping (obviously, mostly to do with seasonal RV camping, not back country tenting which is a whole different ballgame!)… […]

Five Thoughts As I Enter My Fourth Month of Quarantine

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 […]

Happy Father’s Day!

Nice to enjoy the day with my father and my son (who is modeling the robe I got as a Father’s Day gift)…

Thinking About That One Time A Cop Threatened To Beat Up Me and My Friends in High School

It’s obviously *very* different for myself as a middle-class white kid who grew up in a small town on the Canadian prairies compared to what’s happening to black people of all ages over and over again in cities across the US. But I had one particular experience in high school that showed me how easy […]
