I imagine a β73 Chevy Caprice convertible driven by a Hunter S Thompson lookalike :)
Trumpfecta!
Wonβt lie. Iβm kinda disappointed that all the BC media producers diving into the record library to find songs to use with their time change stories have been missing out on this banger ;)

Weβve entered the season of dramatic late evening light here at the homestead.
If youβre liking Norsemen you might also like 1670, same approach set in the Poland of that time. Pretty funny so far
I have an update. The bureaucracy struck back :(

The Canadian women can leave Italy with heads held high. To take a team that dominated you all year, and pasted you 5-0 in the prelims, to OT in the final is a thing to be proud of and sends a message to the US squad that they too are mortals ;) #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026
The most Roberts Creek thing in the last few years :)
That is some George Smiley level tradecraft right thereβ¦
Now you tell me about the light necromancy! My undergrad years could have been so much more productiveβ¦

I think Iβve finally figured it out. Someone told POTUS that Gordie Howeβs play in the corners was the inspiration for βelbows up.β It would have been a pretty short journey from there to getting mad about a bridge named after Gordie. Itβs the only way it tracks!

Hereβs the rodent prediction you need @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social !
Cleaning up and rearranging my shop space today and I came across these two gems: My BBC World Service guide for stringers circa 1996 and my @cfrcradio.bsky.social staff card from 1990 (which would have been my final year there).
Still keeping the classic though, I hope

If my great grandfather (Eckvilleβs namesake) was alive today Iβm not sure how Iβd explain the concept of βYour town is trending on Xβ to him. Let alone the apparent reason. π€£
Heβd make his own watchβ¦ and soon weβd all want a Wayne Timepiece ;)
We also need to open up the market to more European models⦠Renault, for instance, is making some great small cars
Radio friends, especially those that lived in Ontario in the 80s, I highly recommend the TVO documentary on the life and times of CFNY; Spirit of Radio. A bit melancholy if you miss radio as it was, but a good hour nonetheless tvo.org/video/documentβ¦

A Starbucks cup with Teresa spelled βTerrisaβ
Today at the airport Teresa got me a coffee featuring a phonetically logical, but uniquely off piste spelling of her name :)

Props to Environment Canada for their new colour-coded weather warnings, but my inner 10 year old will never stop laughing about being under a yellow snow warning
