The People’s Calendar: When Does Each Season Start?

Interesting survey about the different markers – natural, manmade, etc. – that people use to connote the change of seasons. For me, I know the “official” dates for season changes but my (very limited) list probably goes like this… Spring – whenever snow is almost fully melted Summer – when school’s out at end of […]

Svalbard: The Northernmost Town on Earth

After our blizzard this week, I thought this video was fitting. Reminds me that things could also be a bit more bleak! 😉

Always nice when the snow holds off until mid-November. Makes winter feel just a bit shorter…

A bug landed in my beer…feels like I’m camping already! 😉 (And yes, I scooped it out and kept on drinking – no tiny bug is going to make me waste a $5 craft beer!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 360 Front Flip With A Twist (January 2017)
