I know someone else with a WL dog that also looks like there is some border collie /no husky in him and shares these traits. Been on a river trip with that dog. he was great. Totally devoted to his owners even after I shared bacon with him every morning! A WL sub-type of community dog maybe?

Yup been wondering about that. Been involved with the River for a number of years. This feels like 2021 and 2022 all over again

Because, as I was just saying the other day, we don’t have enough snow, do we…

As a young teenager I had a t shirt with a characature of Pierre with a rose in his teeth doing the famous pirouette (the one he did behind the queen’s back that time) and the words fuddle duddle .

It’s been awhile since you dropped a good dad joke. Good to see them back.

Wanted to go to this but was was otherwise engaged. Read Fireweather and it was such a good analysis and yes scary too. Definitely worth a read if you haven’t already. Was this presentation recorded do you know?

Watched original Star Trek with William Shatner et al on a major network. Sometimes we had to adjust the rabbit ears.

There’s Ireland with what looks like a light fleece jacket. You could go winter camping in those Canadian ponchos. In the Yukon even.

Just what I was thinking. I kind of liked Finland’s.

Ya what’s with all the giant ponchos? I guess they’re warm? Is it that cold in Cortina?

And yogurt. And kefir. Which have been around as long as domesticated milk giving critters I think

I said β€˜oh wow’ out loud when I saw this. I do love winter scenes.

I could use some good librarian humour. Got any recommendations?

We saw a few in the Highlands of Scotland a couple summers ago, all by themselves, away from towns. And oddly, on some roads going into the mountains not far from San Fran. You can see Silicon Valley. But no cell service! (This was pre-Trump)

Wondered the same thing! Is it still in service? There are still a few operating phone booths here and there tho I don’t think I’ve seen any in the Yukon.

I remember Reach for the Top with Trebek. And of course SCTV. An amazing show. Been looking at clips of Catherine’s characters since yesterday.
