I’ve been meaning to write this one for a while…but either never felt like I had the time or the mental energy to put all this stuff into words. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it justice, but I can try. Having to go back to the cane has made me realize …

Trixie Transition
So…here’s the latest about Trixie. I’ll do my best to not repeat myself from the retirement post. This will probably be long and rambling. Trix has moved into her new home, and seems to be enjoying herself thoroughly. She’s gone on huge walks and seems to enjoy them, and has even gone through a thunder …
The Problems With First Past The Post Voting Explained
The other day at work, for some reason, we got talking about the whole First Past the Post electoral system. One of my coworkers mentioned a video aboutwhat’s bad about first past the post systems as illustrated by fictitious animal kingdom candidates. Kind of a neat, easy to understand video. Enjoy.
Who Broke The Build?
Hey there. Oh my god I’m alive. I have lots to say, both big and small. Let’s start with the small. Our USB category could use some love. Just the other day, I came across the perfect thing to go in it. We’ve often talked about USB missile launchers. Now, someone has designed a program …
What a Nice Happy song! Oh my!
I’m in a strange strange mood this morning. So you get my strange strange musings. I was riding into work with a coworker yesterday and he had the French CBC radio station on…and an old song came on that I hadn’t heard in years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4T5TOXnnXg It got me thinking about my impressions of this song …
A Cute Little Guide Dog Song/Video
I warn anyone who has an ear for music, they might want to run screaming from the video I’m about to put up. But I couldn’t resist. Some guide dog instructors got cute and made a video called I’m Your Guide Dog, So Trust Me Baby. You know, Call Me Maybe? Trust Me Baby? Har? …
Shit People Say About Retiring A Guide Dog
Now that I’ve got it out there that Trix is retiring, I decided to write one of those “shit people say” posts. John Q.

Trixie Is Retiring
Well I said I had more to say. I’m going to try and write something. But I’m writing this at 6:30 in the morning, so it may look a little foggy. Yesterday I looked back in the Trixie category and found this post, chalk full of foreshadowing. I didn’t want to face it then, but …
Help GDB Build Its New SR Dorm
Woe! I live! Yup. Somehow, I’m here…ish. I have a lot to say, just finding the time to say it is another matter. I feel a little bad that my first post back is promoting the fact that GDB is looking for money, but it was an easy post to write since most of it …
Long Weekend Audio: What’s…In…The Bag?!
Alrighty! We made this audio last night, but due to some Goldwave operator error, and some knob deciding our server should get wacked around, you guys don’t get to see it until today. We played a game. And what was that game called? What’s…in…the bag?! This is probably not a fun game for your kids …
