Wisdom Wednesday – If Someone Says Covid Is “Over”…

Definitely don’t listen to the politicians. And even many of the medical professionals misunderstand the ongoing risks. If you want to know the true status of Covid, listen to the insurance actuaries whose whole business model is predicated on predicting the actual financial costs of Covid to their companies (no different than insurance companies increasingly […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.

“It Is Now Impossible To Get H5N1 Out of the Ecosystem of North America”

1. I am of the firm belief that it is now impossible to get H5N1 out of the ecosystem of North America. Bluntly put, there is now simply too much virus present in wild birds and mammals to be able to contain it. There are also likely many more human cases than reported. — Conor […]

Friday Fun Link – Isla Contoy

We’ll be visiting Isla Mujeres from March 2 to 9 and this will be the first time we haven’t stayed at an all-inclusive in all our various trips to Mexico/Cuba/Dominican Republic over the past 25 years. One thing we might do is take a boat trip to an ecologically protected, undeveloped island…

Secular Sunday – You’re Not Special But You Are Fucking Lucky

It’s been a tough year in a lot of ways – maybe the toughest of my life – but it’s ending on multiple up notes and either way, still better than none at all as my dad always says!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Two Year Check-Up (April 2015)

When Sasha was born, my coworkers at RPL threw a baby shower for Shea and I. I still remember a couple co-workers who both had older children – one in high school the other with two in their early 20s – giving me a line that I still think of to this day: “Little kids, […]
