I Don’t Like Seeing this Stuff Sold

These items were sacred to someone. Seems wrong, all casually for sale at a flea market.

Not just this organization, any special artifact that can be bought, instead of earned.  It diminishes its purpose.

That’s why I silently roll my eyes, when someone waves a challenge coin around.

 

 

The Planets So Far in 2014

This new year has kicked off with a bang. Already by the 10th, there were 3 big planetary events guys. Definitely enough to merit a blog post. 

(if we’re just meeting – for all my love of logic, I track the planets)

1

January 1st was a full moon

2

January 3rd was a meteor shower, the Quadrantids – 1 of the 3 richest showers of the year.

3

January 9th, a Thursday Night, was the largest display of the Northern Lights in a very long time. Mega Northern Lights, visible all across of Canada.

Apparently, the solar flare was so large and created such electrical disruption, that flights were re-routed away from the pole, GPS’ wouldn’t work.

Our former Defence Minister went on TV stating that aliens exist, and walk among us – National Post

Well!

Looks like 2014 is shaping up to be good and weird.

Chinese New Year is the last day of this month, the 31st. Here’s how to prepare for that.

 

 

Now There’s 50 Fridays Left

And that’s the 1st real week of 2014 done.

Had to jam in a lot in today, I think I need to plan my Fridays differently.  Next week’s column is about diesel engines, and booked a trip, we’re off to Arizona to test Heavy Duty Pickup Trucks with GM!

I towed a bobcat before. First week at my new job under my belt. Went well. Website consulting, community management stuff, still shy.

Just hit send on my last email, this quick hi hi to you, and then shhhh silence.  I’ll cheers you with my usual end-of-the-week beer, if I make it off the couch.

1 Photo 3 Firsts

Today, my friend Cabral Instagrammed this old photo of us:

 Grade 9. Skiing with @keriblog. Jealous of her outfit. #tbt

3 Firsts:

1 – first time I’ve ever been attached to the #TBT hashtag (Throwback Thursday)

2 – first photo of me as a kid, that exists here

3 – first time I’ve introduced you to my oldest friend, Cabral.  He’s weirdly smart, with a ridiculous work ethic.

You probably already know him. Cabbie on TSN.  His Instagram bio:

Ambassador of fun. Poster child for idiots. Pro athletes wish they could punch me in the face, but I’m always with a camera. I love food.

The ‘Cabbie Presents on TSN: Best of 2013’

Ahh Cab, so many big names in there, so well edited & produced, 3 million views on YouTube, so proud of you! I re-wound 3:39 over and over!

We grew up together grades 7-13, took math, competed against each other on the grade 8 speech competition circuit, stuff like that. He’s been quietly blogged around here for years, an arm in a car, a pic of a pic, a blurry birthday party pic.

Woah while linking stuff up, I just saw his new website for the first time, because I am a bad friend, but kk here: CabralRichards.com. It’s so minimal, the most minimal. Best site I’ve seen in forever.
