I'm Baaaaaack

Ohhhh it’s nice to be in my own country. I’m enjoying tremendously my time down south, but it’s tough to beat Canada.

Did you know Canadian customs canNOT read what US customs wrote on your passport? Think about that.

Took me a minute to remember my Visa pin number. We are ahead of the States in credit card security.

I celebrated it for three years because Canada really is the best country there is.

It’s clean here, safe, friendly, and you can do and be how you like and we’re like, oh okay cool. Plus we’re known around the world as polite and promoters of peace. How beautiful.

And so very worth protecting. Please do that.

Autoshow tomorrow! TTY then.

Rode the Train Home & I Have Internet Again

Cool, eh?!

It’s the sleeping car alley on an Amtrack train (Amtrack in USA = VIA in CDN).  I gotta say it’s much cheaper down here though; $50 will get you quite far.

Here’s what you can do if there’s two of you:

  1. each buy a ticket
  2. one of you upgrades to a little room for $100
  3. invite the other to ride with them

It was a 10 hour journey.

That’s a very long time to sit still.

It’s amazing really, everything you need in a 3.5′ x 7′ foot room.

Not being sarcastic… there’s people in Japan who live full time in spaces half this size. With everything they own. They make me and my trunk look like pansies.

Japan is on my travel list oh we are so going.

 

Hi hi.

The dining car.

Like I told the guys, “I can’t believe you served me this on a train”.

This was warm.

While on the topic of food, my next new blog is almost ready to be launched, hopefully by the week’s end.

It’s just a little blog, but the name, I know, HA.

 

Lastly, I’m back online.

Going online at a security conference is always risky.  And I don’t know if you’ve ever rebuilt a computer after it’s been compromised, but the time that takes far out-weighs missing a couple days of internetting.  More about that later over at SmartenUpInternet.com.

This is how I’ve been connecting since I arrived January 1… it’s called a MiFi, get it?

It’s a personal internet connection.  We use our phones as HotSpots in Canada to connect.  I love this thing.  I’m using it to blog right now.

Nice to be back online! Nice to be in the same place for two weeks.

I’ll leave you with this photo ahahahahah so many easy jokes.

Have a great Monday and start to your week.

 

 

First Flight I’ve Ever Missed

It was an 8 hour mistake.

Wasn’t totally my fault, although it was my flight so really, who else’s fault could it be?

Regardless, here’s exactly how I felt about it for 3 minutes.

You’d have not wanted to be around me during those minutes.  Then I was over it.

What else are you going to do?

Get to know Concourse E, that’s what!!

When I left for this trip I should have started an “Airports” category, it would have so many posts already.

I will make one now….. tada! Now I have a new blog category, Airports.

Then I perused every single gadget store I could find.

I man-handle every single item.

I projected KeriBlog videos on the wall.

Then I sat around and it was boring and fine, the plane drove me home, the end.

 

The Largest Amount of Dinosaurs in the World

I’m pleased to report that
Canada sets another world record

Dinosaur Provincial Park

It’s just outside Brooks, Alberta in the badlands, or two hours from Calgary.

Imagine how international that makes Brooks in the summer? Archeologists from all over the world come to dig around.

3 FAST FACTS

  1. – more dinosaur species have been discovered here than anywhere else in the world
  2. – it was 75 million years ago dinosaurs were cruising around
  3. – the area was a warm moist climate, swamps and wetlands

The United Nations recognizes this as a world heritage site, YES Canada.

Get THIS: 1910-20 was the ‘Great Canadian Dinosaur Rush’; rival gangs of collectors raced and fought to find the best and most bones.

What do I do? Oh I’m a blackmarket dinosaur bone trader bwahaha.

I’m South of the Border, Literally

A big warm hello!  Look no jacket or boots yesss.

Found this place en route to Myrtle Beach, my first stop on my ‘Escaping the Winter’ tour.

South of the Border – America’s Favoutite Highway Oasis since 1949.

It’s filled with tacky souvenir shops like this, the kind I love.

I never buy anything (I just got rid of everything, remember?) but just like to look and laugh.

Things made funny by giant-ism.

Paper mache animals everywhere.

That’s funny that this is someone’s job and business, “what do you do?”, “make giant animals”

Boy do I love it here.
