Anybody Heading From #Guelph to Kitchener? Could You Use An Extra Passenger?

Remember back a few days ago when I said I would post more until life had other plans? Well, life already had other plans, and they take effect on Monday. Hopefully I’ll be around here still a fair bit, but it could be a little touch and go for a while. Remember when I talked …

There Has To Be An Answer, But What Is It?

Something got me thinking the other day. And when I get thinking, I end up thinking of weird things. While construction workers were busy remastering Guelph, part of the work involved digging up streets to do sewer lines etc. While they were busy going diggity diggity root root yank, they hit a gas line, and …

The One Where I Tell You To Vote And Then Ramble About Other Things For A While

I’ll warn you right off the top that this post might be even more disjointed and sucky than usual. I’m a bit distracted by the pain in my right foot and it’s making me cranky. The thing hates me, but if I were it and I’d been injured so many times by me, I’d probably …

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: It’s Nowhere Near Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Happy Saturday! Here’s your first audio of the day. If you listen to these things mainly for Carin, you may hate this one. I’m all by myself this time. Don’t worry, I only talk for about 8 minutes, so you won’t have to put up with me long. What we have here is just me …

Shake Shake Shake, Shake Shake Shake, Shake Virginia!

Last year, Steve felt an earthquake. Yesterday, it was my turn. Wanna hear something weird though? Steve was in the same house and didn’t feel it! I came back in from a walk. I sat down and started looking through stuff. Suddenly, my chair went shake, bump, shake, bump. I thought maybe Trix was behind …

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. …

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 …

If You Lost Your Keys In #Guelph, I Might Know What Happened To Them

I have to do this first. Ohmygod that was dumb ohmygod that was dumb ohmygod that was dumb. Ok. Movin’ right along. I was walkin’ along. Doo dee doo dee doo. I was walking with a friend, who is a very nice person. Suddenly, she spots something shiny. “Hey! Keys!” she exclaims. “Oh no! That …
