Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Even though some of them aren’t on a bus route, are goddamn impossible to navigate independently when you’re blind or both, we’re pretty lucky around here as far as farmers markets go. And now it appears we’re getting one more. I hope the selection there is good, because the location sounds awfully convenient. I’m looking …

I’m sure this is old news to some of you, but I’m putting it here so that next June when people start giving me strange phone numbers I won’t have to puzzle over where the hell they live. I did that forever when they brought in 226 back in 2006 because I somehow missed that …

June 8th, 2018 update: Don passed away yesterday. He was 82.

Unless you’re brand new here, you know how much I love news blooper reels. So I was happy to see that CKCO ended flashback week with one. Not bad guys, not bad.
I got a bit behind thanks to some nasty weather-related migraines, but I think I’m going to be ok. I’m not perfect yet, but I can be in a position other than lying down for more than a few minutes at a time, so that’s gotta be a good sign…I hope. So anyway, here’s another …
