Steve’s Via Rail post from the other day got me thinking, and worried, and when that happens, I do what I always do…pick up the phone and bug the powers that be. Here’s how it went. The first lady I got was about half past useless. She told me she didn’t know for sure if …

So Long Uncle Mike, You’ll Be Missed
Man, I’m in the midst of all sorts of chaos, but I have to write this down. I just found out on Tuesday that my uncle passed away. It was totally unexpected. He had been dealing with cancer, but that was under control. Then, suddenly he got a blood clot, and…wammo! Now he’s gone, and …
The Eighth Carnival Lives!
Well that didn’t take long. the eighth round of the Assistance Dog Blog Carnival is up. March on over and checkout the posts.
Forward, march!
So…it’s assistance dog blog carnival time. I missed the one in May. The sad part about that was it was originally April, then it got postponed, and I still missed it. I forget what crazy was going on at the time, but since my life is full of more crazy than not, I’ll blame crazy. …

Jim Stanek, a war veteran with a service dog, says that two United Airlines workers kicked his dog. Kicked? Why in the name of all that’s holy would you do that? Now …
The Guelph Transit Routes Post, Now With Guelph Central Station and UC Hub Goodness
Hi. It’s me, ya know, the silent one? Back in May when we did our audio blitz, I promised that I would put up a description of the bus platforms and what bus pulls into them. I said I would have it done by the end of the weekend. Um, yeah, about that. Finally, last …
A Song From The Plane
This has been in my head since I came home from San Diego. On the plane, in their entertainment selections, which I can’t select myself because it’s touchscreen *mutters under breath*, there was Just for Laughs stuff in there. Because my seatmate/coworker was kind enough to push the buttons, I listened to this song. Here …
Ray Bradburied
I heard about this a few days ago, but didn’t get a chance to write it down. Ray Bradbury dies at 91. I had read quite a few of his short stories, some of them creepy, some of them neat, some of them made you think about colonization and automation and machines in different ways. …
Hey Steve…
No, I’m not talking to our Steve. It’s the title of a video about our not so dear prime minister Stephen Harper. Next time you hear someone saying they’re going to vote Harper, just send them to this video. I think she did a fine job summing up his track record, complete with quotes from …
