With his well documented history of graft going back to the Baldy Hughes era, if he works at a 7-11 the manager should be like, “I need another employee to count the cash at the end of the shift with you”.

Too soon. But let’s bring back the flipping of birds by senior citizens and children to parades of pickup trucks sporting the flag and usually misspelled slogans on poorly made banners. 👍🏻

My favourite angry driver moment occurred while riding my bike one afternoon on a quiet side street in Toronto and a cabbie raced past me and screamed at me, “get off the road, you don’t pay the tax!” Okay, that sounds reasonable.

Looks a lot like Danforth Bowl. Where the rumble of the subway actually improves my poor bowling skills.

Grant’s Boundary Rider is up there among the greatest Go-Betweens songs.

The man at the far right is also affiliated with Carson McPherson & Marshall Smith. Bill (can’t recall his surname) was in a prominent position at Cedars when Carson was the Director at Cedars. Bill was director of Continuing Care or something similar. Nothing but graft for these people.

But I did take many amazing cross country trips for free as a kid and young adult. And I got to ride up in the engine plenty. I preferred the Park Car at the very back for people in the sleeper cars and the kids of VIA employees if you tipped the service manager 😉

My dad was an engineer for VIA for 40 years. In the late 80s, we moved to Kamloops and his route was Kamloops to Jasper and Kam to Vancouver. Kam to Van could take 10 hours. Once it took me 17 hours. I watched my dad wave goodbye as they switched crews at the 12 hour mark. It’s a 3.5 hour drive.

I once looked out the window of a flight I was on and thought “cool, that plane over there is flying the same route as us”. Oh that plane out there? It was the flashing light of the wing of the jet I was on! These wee brains!!

Isn’t that Elon Musk? That robot is way too good to settle for him.

Breakfast Owl put out an underrated 7-inch in on a Postcard adjacent indie label the early 80s before they sold out and signed to Virgin. That track “My Head Is On A Swivel”? Hard to beat.

But what if he found the one location that was still serving up the Cadbury’s Creme Egg McFlurry? And they let him fill up his backpack with it? Just straight into the backpack? All that gooey and frozen goodness and right into the backpack. Not the worst last meal location now, is it?

No no. It’s clearly Darren from Irish crime series Love/Hate.

I’d appreciate it if you’d become a landlord whisperer crossed with a shaman who can ensure my elderly landlords live well into their hundreds so my building doesn’t get sold, torn down and redeveloped requiring me to find new housing in Vancouver’s insane rental market. That type of stuff 🙏🏻

Don’t forget the barrage of voices who believe and demand that we stop the wind itself.

I can only imagine what her annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) submission to our professional college contained. 40 hours of what now? How did this convoy enhance your social work skills?

That brilliant wordsmith who so effortlessly rhymed “bowl” and “cereal”.

I saw Fugazi live 5x from 1993 to 1999 in BC, Olympia, WA and Seattle, WA. Always an incredible and transformative experience. And all were $6 shows too.
