Music Monday – “When your day is long/And the night, the night is yours alone/When you’re sure you’ve had enough/Of this life, well hang on”

Today is “Blue Monday”, allegedly the saddest day of the year due to a mix of distance from Christmas, weather and credit cards coming due (although it’s actually just a random day picked to help sell winter vacations.) I thought about posting “Blue Monday” by New Order but that song actually makes me quite happy. So this is […]

“First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman

Posting this video is an annual tradition. And I could get used to posting it a few days past the middle of November although the trade-off is that the “snow” today was slushie rain this morning that basically turned the whole city into curling rink ice while I had a lunch meeting I walked to […]

+14 on November 8? Wow. #yqr

I can’t find it now but a few years back, I posted a graphic showing the forecast for December 24, 25 & 26 which all showed +4. Today is along the same lines – we’re having double digit plus temperatures well into November and today might be the warmest day yet. A couple friends on […]

Super Moon Eclipse

Watched some of the rare supermoon lunar eclipse with Shea and Pace tonight. Pretty cool, especially considering the last time it happened was 1982 and it won’t happen again until 2033!

Saturday Snap – File Under “Other”

Management is having staff at my library do a week-long “Activity Assessment” project where all staff have to record what they’re doing every five minutes of their shifts. Now if I could just figure out where “Boost Patron’s Truck” is on their report form? 😉

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow may be contrary/But this is now/And then is then.”

This is another annual tradition on this blog. I’m fudging a bit this year as the snow fell overnight from Monday to Tuesday but since it fits better as a Music Monday post, here’s my annual post of one of my favourite Hawksley Workman songs posted on a Tuesday but dated for Monday! 😉 “First […]

Friday Fun Link – Only in the Prairies (Record High and Record Low, Same Day, One Year Apart)

This graphic showed up on Reddit as a perfect snapshot of what you can expect in Alberta – a record high and record low only one year apart. (It showed up earlier this week and I didn’t bookmark it but assume it was a shot from around this time of the year – late September […]
