Allegedly these are all real signs you can find in Texas. You’ll pardon me if I express my doubts – some I suspect have been edited for effect. I discovered them when I decided to hit some click-bait on Twitter. Most of the photos ddn’t make me laugh – but these were amusing enough for […]
Today kicks off the second week of Canada’s federal election campaign. So what has happened in the first seven days of this five-week marathon that ends September 20? I’ve been a little surprised at the performance of the governing Liberals. There seems to be a general media consensus that there is no reason for this pandemic election […]
It is a classic comedy skit, so old it’s origins predate television. Abbott and Costello with “Who’s On First.” The television version above dates from 1953. Even though i know what is coming, I still find it funny. Which is probably why I enjoyed the updated script a friend posted to Facebook recently. I found […]
My friend Carolyn just released a new music video today. I had to wait until after noon Pacific time before I could share this. Time passes so quickly. I know everyone in the video, but while watching realized that it has been more than 20 years since the last time I talked with Amy Grant […]
They will be doing it again tonight. Thursday night fireworks are a summertime tradition in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Thousands gather to watch. The first of our two weeks in Maine this year the show was disappointing. Only about two thirds the usual length, we wondered if the display had been curtailed due to COVID. There […]
What were those blue things in yesterday’s post? Rubbber (I think) mats that have replaced the boardwalk in some parts of Old Orchard Beach. Less slippery when wet, and easier for wheelchairs.
On vacation in Maine for the first time since 2019, I saw a few things that were new to me. I took today’s two picturesof something new that impressed me. There were new buildings of course, and old ones gone. Prices had gone up. COVID has affected society, with some businesses closed – but some […]
Canada finds itself in a pandemic election. The logistics are easy. The Prime Minister hopes the outcome is favorable. When the PM told everyone in the spring that Parliament was functioning well and there was no need for an election, no-one believed him. His lust for a vote, to capitalize on COVID fears was palpable. […]
I wrote this post in 2016. As I have discovered in 2021, the “All American Meal” is no more on The Pier. A hot dog is now $2.00. I guess all good things come to an end. I can’t believe they have been able to hold the price if the meal steady for 36 years. […]
I don’t remember when I first came across this one. Which may be because it was sitting in my draft posts file for the past five years. I have heard this sentiment expressed in several different ways over the years. I sympathize, but to me it seems incomplete. When I make a mistake, I hope […]
