Well, it appears another mutt from the London Five kennel has found his forever home. To the surprise of few, it's in Edmonton. ...

/ Anyway, I'm trying to learn about algorithms, gates, and loops, and this thing has 1,110 loops built into it, to feed constantly updating graphics. But mainly because I wanted a new toy to play with during hockey season. Starting with a fantasy draft kit. trendline.hockey

In anticipation of his upcoming (largely controversial) attendance at the Newfoundland 9/11 commemoration, people have started referring to Pete Hoekstra as "Scum From Away."
I think the next step Canada needs to take in this divorce from the US is banning toxic American media like twitter and Fox. Where are you, CRTC?
Went to the Canadian Immigration Museum yesterday and met several elderly visitors who were scanning a wall of photos looking for “their” ships…the ones that brought them to Canada. They were emotional when they spotted them and took pictures to show their families. I love this country!
A few bits and pieces from the Alex Newhook and Friends Annual Golf Classic: habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2026/08/odds... #GoHabsGo
Odds and Ends:
Recently, Alex Newhook and some of his teammates came to St.John's, Newfoundland...Newhook's hometown...to take part in a charit...

I can now say with a degree of certainty that Jakub Dobes is an extremely likeable young man.
So, the wretched US "ambassador" to Canada is visiting to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11. If he wants to say thanks for helping in the aftermath, he'd be best saying it from a distance. Nobody wants to see or hear him.
Came into work today with large, fingerprint bruises on my forearm. Colleagues asked what happened. I jokingly said my husband beat me. As a group they wanted to know where I buried the body. I’m not sure what that says about me!

So, do I have this right? The Americans are going to give nuclear capability to Saudi Arabia; the country that produced most of the 9/11 terrorists, abuses human rights in every way and murdered and dismembered a journalist? I guess the orange blob is shoring up his bolt hole.
I'm feeling blessed with healthy kids, a fun marriage and a sharp brain. I wish you all some of the same joy, however it manifests for you.
Have you ever had a very strong feeling somebody is thinking about you? I have that today, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
@jacktodd.bsky.social is bothered by the stank, too. Most of us Canadians are.
Todd: It was a memorable World Cup, but an underlying stench lingers
Swept away with the Spanish dominance are regrettable memories of a tourney whose integrity was called into question.

I'd like to congratulate the 1996 New Jersey Devils for bringing the World Cup home.
Is it time for Spain to score a couple of goals and trigger Argentina's desperation mode? Or is it too early?
There should be a dive of the game award after every match and everyone else gets to point an laugh at the video. Kinda like that time Phil Kessel got picked last at the all-star game.
Canada's problem isn't living next door to a larger, richer, more militarily stronger country. It's living next door to the stupidest people since cave men.
If Kirby Dach's new deal isn't a sign-and-trade, I hope to hell he stays healthy for once and proves he belongs on this team. Good for him and great for the #GoHabsGo if he does.
I appreciate the competition among football fans, but I can never take the sport seriously with the faking and diving. As a hockey fan, it's beyond pathetic.
