Modern Funerals And The Lost Art Of Avoidance I hate funerals. Of course there is nothing to love about them, although I remember a couple of English War Bride Aunts who enjoyed them as...

Thank you AI Prime Minister Carney.
Maybe, AI George Will was produced with his knowledge. I wouldn't know.
But AI Carney is a total rip off of his image, to sell some sort of crap.
And you know what?
The AI pollution is going to get worse.

I was watching YouTube while on the treadmill about a week ago, when I came upon a video of libertarian shithead George Will.

Good morning.

One bloody ski.
Real talent.
Real ability.
Real athletes.

Good morning.
And if you are a "there's nothing good about it" person, I get it. Waking up every morning wondering if there is a world to wake up to is pretty damn sickening.
Waking up knowing the tank needs to be filled is a financial stress none of us needs.
But...
My taxes are filed.

My phone, along with my wife's, and also my Fitbit, all decided to "spring ahead" this morning.
This is the first time this has happened to us. All of our previous 'smart' devices were smart enough to know we are in Saskatchewan.
I'm glad we had an old-fashioned 'dumb' clock around to let us know.

When a MAGA secretary gets fired do they have to turn in their access pass, red hat, gun and lips before they are escorted out by security?
Do they get to take their 'blankie' and as much stolen money as they can carry?

I will be 66 this year.
I have a huge pimple on my nose.
At 66 years old.

I won't be going to my prom in 1978 this year.
I won't be able to find a date.
Who's going to want to be seen with a pimple-nosed nerd?
I think I'll stay home and play Pong.
It's a shame.

I often say this but my words are very close to not being an exaggeration.

I live in the central part of Saskatchewan.
When we were kids we changed our clocks.
(And here comes the exaggeration)
I also could spit west and watch it land in a different time zone.
Weird times and better now.

twist to make it to the urinal.
I had to maintain that quarter-turn twist to do my business.
Have you ever had to pee in that position?
It's not easy.
Almost impossible for some of us unfortunates.

I needed to pass some root beer, so I visited the washroom.
As I approached the urinal I noticed a problem. My shoulders were wedging between the wall and the toilet stall.

I never have had pretty muscles.
Even in my buffest years I preferred to have a shirt on instead of off.

What I did develop was a set of shoulders. 10-hour days of bull-headed lifting will do that. And though today my arms are buggy whips, and abs jiggle like jelly, my shoulders are large and

Last year, 800 workers in Edmonton voted to leave the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) and join the IUOE. Months later, CLAC was singled out by MP Heather McPherson’s bill to ban β€œcompany unions.”

But what is CLAC? I dug into the union’s history and operations for @pressprogress.ca

Could it be a seasonal affliction, caught in that dammed waiting room?
Is COVID classified as a seasonal affliction these days?
If you have an answer to those questions, just leave a message.

Back then COVID was a mysterious virus confined to parts of China.
When I think back, I wonder if I caught it in that trailer?
I'm going to guess yes, though at this point it doesn't matter.

Since that time I have taken every vaccine and have been Covid-free.
So I tell myself.

I had a UTI

On Christmas Eve, 2019, I became sick.
I was finishing up a shutdown, and being crammed into a lunch trailer with 30 people had caused me to pick up a cold.
Or so I thought.

The cold lingered.
Through 2 months.
Through two doctor visits.
Through 2 different courses of antibiotics.

A bit of truth.

Since Trump was re-elected I haven't been able to laugh, much beyond a fake chortle or a stifled chuckle.
Morose.
A few days ago I discovered Artie Kendall, ghost groomer.
And a few days ago I remembered how to belly laugh.
Again and again.
Belly laugh.
