Politicians the world over know that when you are down in the polls you need a distraction. Wars can be useful for that, but you have to rule a country to make that happen. Which has left the Premier of Quebec scrambling the find an alternative. He could pick a fight with Canada’s federal government, […]
I’m not convinced this one is true – but it is funny. Given the misinformation rampant online these days, I was hesitant to add to it – but this flyer speaks to those of my generation. Supposedly this was issued by the Monroe County, New York, police to cut down on unnecessary calls to their […]
I don’t see a dish on the ground for dogs – or short people. I wonder if someone walked off with it. Or maybe the dogs learned how to use the drinking fountain.
I didn’t get lost. I just didn’t know the way out. Maybe taller people are better able to navigate a corn maze because they can see over the rows. Mind you, they would have to be really tall. I don’t remember when I last was in a maze. They are a way of experiencing fear […]
As the new school year approaches, book banning is in the news again. The impression I have is that it is a fairly common occurrence in the United States, but less so in Canada. The latest list of 200 books being removed from Edmonton Public School libraries has me wondering who is the bad guy. […]
My wife and I moved residences earlier this year. Just down the street, but a couple of hundred feet higher. I do have some reflections on the process that will be coming this fall, but today just a few pictures of Friday’s sunset. I don’t remember it looking like this when we lived at street […]

I laughed when I saw this one. I don’t really care about who Taylor Swift marries – her music does nothing for me. Nor do I care about the NFL. I will never be a “Swiftie.” I figure though that there is so much publicity I don’t need to explain what I am talking about. […]
That’s 42 kph for the roadrunner, about 70 kph for the coyote. I think as children we all knew that the Roadrunner cartoon was fiction. After all, coyotes don’t have bombs or anvils, both of which I remember playing a big part in the weekly narrative. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were lies, but […]
I didn’t get a good picture – maybe that was my subconscious speaking. The first bite was great, but by the end of the slice I wasn’t interested in more. Yes, those are French fries. With melted cheese curds. And gravy replacing tomato sauce. A poutine pizza. I had this creation while on vacation in […]
