Back after our beautiful drive from Calgary to Gibsons, BC through the Rocky Mountains.  What a beautiful drive.  We live in an astounding place, this country of ours.  One of our breweries, Molson’s (owned by Coors now, I think) has put together a great set of marketing tools, usually involving beer coolers and a uniquely Canadian only way to open it.  The first series involved using a Canadian passport to open randomly placed machines around the world.  Very cool idea.  The video here represents their latest interesting take.  Enjoy eh!

I found this on Tumblr.  If any of you are hockey fans, you know about Darryl Sutter, coach of the LA Kings.  He has a penchant for unintentionally funny press conferences and is well-known for his demeanour.  Check this out for a good chuckle.

Helpful Signs – An Educational Series

Today’s helpful sign is easy to relate to on a personal level.  If I had a nickel for every time I watched the wrong side of a monitor, I would be pretty broke.  Is this warning label hell?  Is it a conspiracy to help the world on its dumbing down.  Is it a government job creation program (someone has to make and apply these labels)?  Did someone by Jimmy Kimmel a label maker for Christmas?

What I Learned Last Week

 

 

A very educational week, I learned lots and am really looking forward to sharing.  As usual, there are some potentially life saving tips for you.

For example, did you know that crocodiles can climb trees.

 

 

People not familiar with snow, should not play with snow.  800 pound snowball slams into a dormitory in Portland, Oregon.

 

A camel escaped in Los Angeles, terrorizing residents for 30 minutes.  Story here.

 

Have a great week, and remember, if you being chased by a camel, or a runaway snowball for that matter, don’t climb a tree.  A crocodile may be waiting for you.  The world is getting more dangerous every day.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Selfie

Weekly Photo Challenge: Selfie

This week’s challenge is to post an image of a selfie. I have used this one before, but I really like this photo.  We were on a 7 hour road trip from Calgary to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.  What adds to the photo is my son’s dog.  He spends a lot of his time on trips like this, doing exactly what he is doing.  Paws on the dashboard watching the road unwind.
