I saw this a few months ago but kept forgetting to post it…which is a terrible oversight since it has two themes we looove: people having close calls with trains, and the idea that something crazy happened to a person again, and it’s mentioned in the headline. It says here that at the beginning of …

The Trump Incident: Far More Worrisome Than The Sweden Incident
This post would have a perfect soundtrack if only it was available in a form I could embed. But since it’s not, go here and listen. It says it’s playable somewhere there, I couldn’t get it to play…but you could always go buy it. You can see by the lyrics why it fits so perfectly…except …

I Wanna Get a Gita!
As I sit here, and my arm slightly protests from carrying home a few bags of groceries yesterday, I am reminded again of this Gita helper robot thing I read about the other day, and how I kinda sorta want one. The team’s first product is Gita, a round rolling robot that can carry up …
More Strange Dog Dreams
After all these years, I still have weird dreams about either losing dogs or going back to train with a new one. But now they’ve gotten really weird. One time, I had a dream that I was at a pet store and I needed their help with something. They said they would help me in …
Thanks, Asshole!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeVLxcekEsw Somebody posted this funny commercial about organ donation on Facebook yesterday, and I laughed and laughed and laughed. Note to self: Did I check that box when I got my Ontario Photo card? And I’m not even an asshole. Double awesome!
Kika The Spying Guide Dog
I read about this a little while ago, and had a few thoughts about it. Amit Patel is a fellow who has recently gone blind, and he encounters a lot of jerks in his travels. So, he decided to attach a GoPro to his guide dog Kika and capture video evidence of said jerks. Unless …
It’s Not Fan Food, It’s I Feel Fat Food
We live dangerously close to a Dairy Queen, so sometimes we get blizzards. For a while, we used to get the blizzards of the month, but then they took those away and brought in these Royal blizzards. That was the closest I could get, they don’t have their own page, but they do have their …
Last Day At Work
I just wanted to put this song up quickly. I would have put it up a couple of weeks ago, but the place where it lives suffered a massive server death so I had to wait for them to come back. A coworker at my awesome job who has been there much longer than me …
No, I didn’t forget the Christmas Wrap-Up. Here It Is
So here it is, February 5th and I’m finally writing the post I always do about our holidays. Although horribly late, it’s not as late as it seems because we only finished having get-togethers 3 weeks ago. Why? Because weather and circumstances are evil. We had the best plan ever. We were going to spread …

Holly Alonzo Has Passed Away
Way back years ago, I used to blog about someone named Holly and her struggles to get an auditory brain implant. I lost track of her, and last week, I heard that she passed away. That’s way too young to die. I remember her being one heck of a fighter. I can’t imagine having repeated …
