Smile, It’s Monday
There’s so much truth to this one. I need to stay current for work, but most days I wish I could remain blissfully ignorant. As another work week starts, may our experience with news and current affairs do nothing to make us anxious or raise our blood pressure. At least, we can hope for that.
Signs of Our Times
I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. Apparently there’s a gas station in Seattle, Washington, that like to make drivers laugh. Today some samples.
The Choice
Joe Biden says he will not step down. He is remaining in the race for President of the USA, and will be the Democratic Party nominee. Americans now have two choices: Biden, who is showing his age (81), or Donald Trump, who could have a complete mental breakdown and no-one would notice, given how erratic […]
Flashback Cars
We continue our Friday Flashback series with a post from July 5, 2018. I’m not really a car guy, but I had fun at this one. This post was the fifth in a series on the event. Time to wrap up our car series from this year’s edition of the Mullheim city festival. You can […]

Who Needs Trump?
As Canada celebrates it’s 157th birthday today, thoughts are still turning to the American presidential election and its potential influence on our political future. The missing word from the June 27 US presidential debate was Canada. Neither candidate mentioned America’s neighbor to the north. We Canadians are used to being ignored by American politicians. Most […]
7 More Debate Takeaways
Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced off against each other Thursday night in the first US Presidential debate of 2024. Did you watch? Did anything said change your mind about the men and their candidacies? Yesterday I mentioned a few tings that struck me. Today a few more. Tomorrow and the day after that I […]
7 takeaways from the Presidential Debate
Donald Trump and Joe Biden (or should that be Joe Biden and Donald Trump?) squared off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle. So much has been said since Thursday, but I wanted to let the dust settle a little to see what I thought of the notes I took while the […]
