Very interesting article showing sites of WW1 battles as they look today. The war to end all wars started just over 100 years ago. One of my grandfathers fought for Canada in this and was gassed at some point. I’m going to have to look into that a bit further.

Canada, Anthems and Beer
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!

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.
