Perfect spot to wait on you to drop something.(Yes. That's where they hang out
while I'm trying to cook and not
step on them.)
Sounds familiar... we had people working from home and in the office on a shift like rotational basis during the spring/summer. Then back in force for the second wave, when everybody in our office got to enjoy the blessings of passing it around.My company ended the crew system at the
beginning of November...
Just as the pandemic's "second wave"
hit the city much harder.
Joey Chestnut came to town? I mean I get it... 2 hot dogs are about the meat equivalent of 1 good burger. So give me 2, right?And in case you were wondering...
Hot dogs won the contest.
More importantly, apparently nobody triple dog dared you.I settled for the lower spot, myself.
I don’t have a death wish.
Or at the very least, I don’t have
a severely injured wish.
If I'd been in my teens,
I'd probably try the higher spot.
I'm older and more prone to
injury now.
Then again, I'm stupider, so it's
really a wonder that I didn't leap
from the higher point anyway.
Only surpassed in wonder by Schweitzer FallsI give you... the Nutimik Lake Falls!
Not gonna lie... I liked being home with just our family last Christmas and not rushing around.Christmas was quiet as well.
With the city under lock down,
we didn't have my folks over
or go to their place for the first
time in years.
I know I'm not alone in that this year.
In fact, DW got the extended family on board that we will get together before or after Christmas, but Christmas Day, we aren't going anywhere.
I'd say no to ketchup alone... but as one of multiple condiments, yes. Honestly, do you know what goes into a hot dog? We aren't talking about a high dollar gourmet piece of meat here. So who cares what you put on it. If you like it, go for it. It's not like you're ruining a perfectly grilled fillet with a blob of ketchup.Question for the reader
(Readers? Plural?
Is that being too presumptuous?)
Hot Dogs… ketchup. Yes or no???
I've always just called it "the rona"Does Covid have a catchy slogan yet?
Sorry. The last 18 months have been… un-fun.
That could have ended up significantly worse!She reached forward and I said,
“It’s a…”
<POKE!>
“…wasp nest.”
Oops!
This is so ridiculously accurate!I’m sure you know the drill.
Dump your carry-on on the belt.
Remove your own belt and anything
Else that’s metal or has metal in it.
Pray your pants don’t fall down.
Shuffle through the detector,
praying all the while that you
haven’t forgotten anything metallic
on your person.
Stand with arms raised in the
device whose sole purpose
is to let hidden agents snicker
at your virtually nude body
as your pants inexorably begin
their descent to your ankles.
Hold onto your pants while
you wait for your belt to show up.
Look on with dismay as your
carry-on is once again, selected
for “random” screening.
And the long line spoke well
as to its popularity.
I got in line and dreamed of
delicious chowder.
The line barely moved, but
eventually, after about 30-40
minutes, I got to the front of the line.
Oh boy!
“One seafood chowder, please!”
“Sorry, we’re out.”
Well worth that 2 hour drive to avoid an hour drive.I had brought a small cooler with me.
Before I left my hotel, I filled it
1/3 of the way with a Ziploc bag of ice.
I asked if they could fill the cooler
the rest of the way with Nanaimo Bars.
They complied and I was able bring
Kay back about 10 bars.
(Which, a couple days later,
when I got back home,
she stated “Oh. My. God. Best ever!!!”
So, mission accomplished. )
No, otherwise, you don't go outdoors to run when the air is too cold to breathe.I took that photo on a run I took
when it was about -25C/-13F.
I slipped the face covering down off
my nose, but otherwise... That's what you do.
Or it makes you have to go...Imagine it if you can...
Hundreds of fantastically shaped
ice clumps ranging in size from a
Volkswagen Beetle to a Semi-trailer.
And they're all melting... dripping
water onto the rock that supports them.
And if you close your eyes...
it sounds just like you're standing in
the middle of a summer rain shower.
Except the sun is warming you and
you are not getting wet.
And I thought weather swings in the midwest are ridiculous.A 17C/33F degree temperature drop
in about five minutes.
I thought polar bears were an every day thing???One day, as luck would have it,
when my parents were visiting,
we were able to witness a fairly
rare sighting of a mother Polar Bear
swimming with her cub.
Oh, yeah, that's right. You're dispelling Canada myths.
I knew the stereotype was true!!! Polar bears wandering the streets!Living in a town where at any moment
you can come face to face with a 1,300lb bear
makes life a bit more... interesting.
I mean, can't the bears open doors too? Or just tear it off the hinges?Most people don't lock their doors
so that if someone needs to quickly
escape a bear, they can run inside.
