Noticed Jason Aldean played last night which I'm sure would have drawn a big crowd. I guess the smoke made no difference to them.

Pro fisherman in town this weekend but nice to see some locals holding their own against them. Big question this week is where did the Wintle's catch those big fish. A 10 lb walleye is a big walleye for this area. 93 entries and lots of nice boats. Their at it again today with what looks like...

Maybe related to the glacier collapse in Switzerland. https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2025/06/Mount_Etna_erupts

Classic kickoff to the camping season this weekend with overnight temperatures hitting -3. Makes me laugh to think of those that would have ended up sleeping in their vehicle with the heater on. Rain in our area will kill any enthusiasm for staying another day. And not the first time this has...

Expected and yet spectacular when it happens Daytona served up another classic smash'em bash'em finish. Chevy leaves with the bragging rights for the second year in a row. Super happy for Jimmy Johnson who ended up third. He was both good and lucky.

CFL is doing its best annual impression of a bush league shits how with teams dumping any contract they don't like and starting from scratch again for the new season. Few off season bonuses ever get paid and players are left to blame for the league becoming overcome with player transition...

How is it possible they don't make figure skaters wear helmets at all levels. Seems like a big oversight imo.

Some strong winds a blowing that fire with more than 10,000 homes destroyed. Conspiracy theorists promoting land grab accumulation style tactics. Can it be another Walmart Super store in the works. Tough day for the people who live there.

Thought a new thread might be appropriate given the times we are in. Guessing with the threat of tariffs on Canadian goods we will see Canada increase whichever metric it is related to defense spending. Unfortunately it is money Canada does not have so the snowball continues to grow.

Lest we forget. One thing they need to remember is that it didn't end with WWII and continues to this day.

News of Vancouver removing 50 tonnes of fatbergs from their sewer system is a bit surprising to me. I've heard they have the same issue in London but call it a different name. Years ago there was a nationwide Mr Fixit radio program I think came out of the Vancouver area. Household tips were...

Actually a city in my case as Dryden is the smallest city by population in Ontario. Just a shit hole with a pulp mill along the way to most but a nice thing happened to me that I would like to share when I lost my key to the community garden where I keep a hive of bees and after searching every...

Did not know that in 1870 the chartered territory known as Rupert's Land was transferred to the Government of Canada in return for farm lands in the prairie provinces. Seems like a sweet deal at today's prices.

Just in case you had two months to spare and were thinking of plunking down the $70,000 US to get dragged up Mt Everest it ain't as fun as it sounds. 4 dead so far this year. Two fell right from the very top. Helluva view though...

I have nothing but disgust for the man. Verdict overturned in New York of all places.

Lots of waiting today and wondering which do not track icon I clicked on that made it happen. Always seems related to a Microsoft Edge innovation that shows up afterward. Now the weather is showing up on the desktop. I try to avoid as much Microsoft as possible but in reality it appears I pay...

Sad news. He played some of the most iconic screen characters of television comedy. Floyd Robertson and Guy Caballero among them. Can only imagine the laughs they had filming with John Candy and the others. Life is short.
