Yet more Canada bashing by silly Americans
I’m reading my morning news and since I haven’t logged on to Gizmodo in awhile, I checked out some of the articles that were a few days old and stumbled upon this one. The article itself talks about how this one staff reporter decided he was going to chastize Canadians because it is supposedly harder … Continue reading
Why would _I_ go to Quebec City on a road trip?
It should not come as a huge surprise when I say that I have never been a huge fan of the province of Quebec. It’s a province filled with a lot of arrogance and “snobbery” about the rest of Canada. Everytime I think of Quebec I think of the separatists who think they are better … Continue reading
Some site tweaks
Me and Tamara were having a conversation not that long ago about Bobsroom and she mentioned how when she clicks on a photo link here, she didn’t like the fact that it redirected you to a Facebook gallery. I was telling her that it was a little easier to maintain the photos in one spot. … Continue reading

Check out this interesting story on CNN about how the Japanese government is now saying that if your waistline is too big, the company you work for will have to pay out MASSIVE fines. This is totally riduculous. No government has the right to force me to lose weight if I want to be big.

Where the hell does the time go?
I said this to Tamara today. Especially when the weekends hit. It seems that as soon as they begin, they end. Man, talk about a LOT of stuff going on and just making the time FLY by. Friday night I went to a Geocaching event and snagged a few caches while I was in Sackville. … Continue reading
Our trip to Niagara Falls, Part II
I split this into 2 posts because I wanted to share the news early, but didn’t have time to give all the good details. Now I do! So, after we dropped the car and our bags off at the hotel, we needed to kill some time. So, we went for a walk around to see … Continue reading
