Well, here I am again, wanting to talk about Trixie. I forgot a few things in my last post, and then, more stuff needed mentioning. I have so much Trixie goodness that I’ve started making lists so I don’t forget stuff. I really hope these aren’t boring to people. Sometimes I wonder if people groan …

Back From The Weekend And Feeling Chatty
Well, I’m home, I’m alive, and I had a pretty dandy long weekend. Although when you’ve got a good family, lots of good food and a few good drinks, it’s hard to end up with something you could describe as anything other than dandy. Maybe if you prefer words like smashing or fanglorious you could …
You Stole A What?
Today, I saw something sad. There’s a bakery downtown that I always walk by, and outside it, there was a bowl of water set out for passing doggies to stop and have a slurp. Well, today, I went by and there was no water bowl! I asked for some water, and wondered where it went. …
Another Name To Add To The List
Ok, Steve, I’m going to horn in on your appropriate names for people in news stories action, because I can. The chair of a conference on making cities more pedestrian-friendly, called Walk21, is named Jim Walker. Well, at least it’s not as bad as the poorly-named souls who are wheeling around in wheelchairs named Walker. …
Porn Sunday?
This story wasn’t too special. A bunch of churches want to designate one Sunday a year as the time to rail against porn. But two things stood out for me. First, what is with this guy’s obsession with elephants? He refers to porn as the elephant in the pew because everybody sees it but doesn’t …
There were Thieves, Thieves, Stealing Dying Men’s Cheese, At The Corner Grocery Store.
The UK sucks, but you know where else sucks? Mesa, Arizona! Why? Because if you get smoked by a moron who doesn’t know how to drive because he toasts you at a bus stop, and you happen to have bought groceries, as you expire, and someone is trying to help you, the locals will steal …
Drowning In Stupidity
Wow. The UK is sucking more and more each day. Now, police are being told not to rescue drowning people because they might fall in too. A kid has already drowned in greater Manchester because of this. Police saw him, and then didn’t even try to save him. They’re being told that they shouldn’t even …
Nazi Furniture?
There’s a new line of furnishings in Mumbai, India called the New Arrival Zone for India that features swastikas all over the furniture, but it’s apparently not a tribute to Hitler. What do you get when you take the first letters of New Arrival Zone and India, kids? Nazi! Uh-oh! But apparently, the swastika has …
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving
Even though we seem to have more American visitors than Canadian ones these days, I still wanted to take a second to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving. What ever you’re doing and whoever you’re doing it to, I hope it’s a safe and happy experience for each and every one of you. I’m sure very …
Let me Tel…ephone You A Story
When I read this story, I almost cried. A library in Prince Edward Island has set up a way that kids can phone in and have a story read to them over the phone. This is because, more and more often, parents just don’t have time to read to their kids anymore, and some of …
