You know you're an Albertan when

You have been outside for hours and the temperature is heading south of -40. You have lost all feeling in your fingers and toes. Your eyes are almost frozen shut. The wind is so strong it blew you over 4 times and on the way home you stop in at... See More »

Christmas meditations.

Treasure your sorrows Treasure your joys Dream of the morrow Put away toys Life is for living And living for life Love whom you’re given So put away strife.

Is the 'peace president' about to start another war?

After supporting a genocide in Gaza, starting and losing a war in Yemen, bombing Iran and continuing a war in Ukraine now Trump wants the US to start a war with Venezuela? Has the US lost its mind or is it under foreign control?

Science has named a new element that no one has ever found!

Its called Unobtainium.

Did you know that the Muslim Quran is full of Christian hymns and homilies?

A German scholar who is expert in ancient middle east languages noted that the poetry in the Quran doesn't make much sense. He wondered why. So he knew that the Quran in its earliest versions did not have any vowel sounds. Only some time later... See More »

More fun for a kilt wearer.

I was buying my groceries and while I loaded the bags a lady came up to me and mumbled something I couldn't hear. I asked her to "Say again". She repeated it again but again she kind of mumbled. I told her that I missed what she said so she said... See More »

What was your most stressful driving experience?

Mine happened in the late 70s when my cousin was killed driving on icy roads. We all decided that we would drive to his funeral which in good weather took 5 hours one way. The night before we left it rained and the rain froze on the roads. I drove... See More »

Does peace come with a dividend?

Way back when I was young and actually drank beer some friends of mine and I went to a bar. We ordered 2 beers each (8 oz per glass) and paid for them with the few dollars we had between us. We sat quietly in the corner watching the local... See More »

Anyone remember the great Alaskan Earthquake in 1964?

Although we lived close to Alaska at the time we never felt anything, however my mother in law insisted that there was a crack in the wall of her house that resulted from the quake. I do know that it was massive 9.2 and it was really brought home... See More »

He was taken captive in 1940 and sent to Canada. Canada is a very big place and he wound up at a POW near Lethbridge Alberta. He spent some months in the camp and was shown to be not one likely to run away so he was hired by a local farmer to work... See More »

Ever heard of the poem "IF"?

Rudyard Kipling wrote: If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,... See More »

Carbon Dioxide nonsense

Did you realise that cows can never raise the level of CO2 in the atmosphere? The cows eat plants and the plants first took the CO2 out of the atmosphere. Therefore the most that can be said is that the cows are replacing what the grass removed.... See More »

Remembrance Day

Today is Remembrance Day here in Canada. A day to remember those who lost their lives fighting in the various wars that Canada has fought since before it became its own nation. I remember as a child seeing some very old men at the cenotaph. Mom... See More »

So the head of the BBC and the head of BBC News resigned.

The horror! BBC is biased????? OHS NOES! That can not be! Too funny. Now I remember why I don't watch the news on TV.

So Canada loses again.

Big dumb Doug Ford decided to interfere in American politics by running a bunch of ads in the US in the midst of US Canada trade negotiations. Sadly for Dougie Trump saw the ads as political interference and cancelled all trade negotiations with... See More »

Is this the height of stupidity?

Canada had a "No Kings" rally to protest Donald Trump. Irony of irony. Trump is the elected President of the US. Charles the third is the un-elected king of Canada.

A scene from where I grew up.

So Trump is thinking of sending Tomahawk Missiles to Ukraine.

Probably not the wisest move he has ever made. The Tomahawk is pretty much obsolete. It's top speed is around 550 MPH which isn't very fast. It is nuclear capable which may cause Russia to launch its nukes should a tomahawk be seen approaching... See More »

We had a family reunion today where my grandparents descendents gathered

One of my aunts had done a series of binders with all sorts of information about family and parents. On one page was a cake recipe. My daughters were shocked at the size of it. It called for 5 pounds of flour and 5 pounds of sugar and 1/2 dozen... See More »
