For as long as we’ve been tracking how people get here and what they’re looking for to get them here, our top keyword has had a story behind it. With our old tracker, our top keyword was “Randy”. This was caused by the flurry of folks looking for Randy Orton’s penis. For a while, it …

I’ve Got The Stink Foot!
I don’t know what it is these last few years, but good god, my feet stink! No, if you tell me my feet stink, I won’t pick up a knife and stab you. I know they do, and it’s just the way it is. I don’t know if it started when I got Trix and …
The Kids Take Plastic Now!
The other day, I saw a sign of the changing times. I was heading for the bus when a kid stopped me and said “Hi, do you want to buy a magazine to support my school?” My first response was no, since I can’t very well read print magazines, and even if I could, I …
More Training Tales At Training Tails
Here’s another blog to read, if you just can’t get enough of reading about other people’s guide dog training experiences.

Thirty-six Years Old Is Too Young
It’s news like this that makes me sit back and think about life. I just got a call from my dad to say that Robert Mask, one of my brother’s best friends and a kid we grew up with, passed away. He was playing hockey, and then he was gone. He was 36, and has …
It’s A Wing. Don’t Fly Off The Handle.
People are nuts. There’s a restaurant called Big Shot Bob’s that sells 100 flavours of wings. Apparently, somebody saw the black on black crime flavour, and lost it. Without asking a few basic questions, they spread the story like mad, and people are making threatening phone calls to the restaurant, saying they’ll go out of …
I Hate To Split Hairs, But This Ain’t A Splitter!
Remember when I was ragging on HumanWare and I said I was afraid the power-splitter would arrive sans end? Well, yesterday, my fears were realized. What I got was a doo dad that would hook into the charger, leading out to three even wires. None of them had the cable connector required to connect splitter …

Kindling Fear On The Bus
Hey there Lahcen Qouchbane. When you’re driving a bus, your eyes and concentration are supposed to be on the road, not on a Kindle. Read when you’re not driving a large bus full of people through morning traffic, thank ya very much. I guess someone took the cell phone video, at which point the driver …
