Help Save The St. Joseph’s Health Centre Bus Stop

I meant to blog about this last week, but life kinda got me a bit distracted. I guess it’s better late than never, and it’s still not too late! Guelph Transit is going through some changes, supposedly to make the service more efficient. But I honestly think they are forgetting some things along the way, …

Wood Was The Star Of The Show

Speaking of easy material, here’s a PDF news release from the Guelph Police Service about an indecent exposure incident. Note the location. That’s right, Starwood drive. Title makes sense now, doesn’t it? I also like the reference to a wooded area. Sure was. Although considering the crime we’re dealing with, doesn’t anywhere this type of …

Ribfest: The Next Victim Of The World No Fun Brigade?

I wasn’t sure this needed a post, but since new Firefox sucks and the Guelph Mercury website insists on CAPTCHAs upon CAPTCHAs to accomplish anything, here goes. Dear Rob O’Flanagan: I don’t know you, but you seem like an interesting guy. From what I can tell you’re a good reporter, and I’ve enjoyed reading many …

Long Weekend Audio: Hardcore Cornography!

Well, the avalanch just keeps on a rollin’. We decided to have some corn on the cob for dinner. So while we were husking, we started talking. We apologize, this one got a little heavy there. We intended to just talk about the weird way people in Guelph pronounce the word “food,” and talk a …

Long Weekend Audio: First Beer Of The Weekend And Some Random Love And Hate

After a false start this morning thanks to a lovely piece of technology that decided not to work for no good reason, we can now let the audio begin! Since the original kick off was not to be, I decided that there would be no better kick off substitute than documenting the weekend’s first beer. …

Chest Fest Was A Flop, But Perk Up, There’s Always Next Year

Well, hmmm. I mentioned the whole Top Freedom Fest thing a while ago. I should probably mention how it went.It didn’t. I guess the organizers didn’t manage to raise enough money for some of the performers, so they decided to settle for a march along the route that Gwen Jacob took when she was arrested. …

Jack Layton Lost His War With Cancer

Really, I was having such a nice weekend with friends. Why did yesterday have to be filled with so much death and destruction? And one death is the focus of this post. I found out that early yesterday morning, Jack Layton, the federal NDP leader, lost his battle with cancer. He was 61. He has …

Do I Have To Shriek About This?

I heard about these weird devices called the mosquito. They’re supposed to emit a high-pitched sound that is irritating to teenagers, but the rest of us have had our hearing naturally degrade so we don’t even notice. I thought it was kinda weird, and if I were a teenager, I’d probably feel offended that some …

A Flash Of Adventures On Carden Street

Yesterday, I had an interesting adventure, so I thought I’d share. Back a bit ago, Steve mentioned the Flash of Cash on Carden Street 2.0. I was pretty happy that there would be another one, because I’d missed the first one. So I planned to be on Carden Street at noon, and be part of …

City Of Guelph Backs Down, Does What It Should Have Done In The First Place

Update: Updating to correct a massive oversight on my part. How could I have forgotten this? Ahh, much better. Whether it’s due to somebody taking the time to explain what a joke is to them or because bad press isn’t good for future election prospects, the city of Guelph has decided to do what should …
