Holy shit, look who showed up in Calgary!

Good times with Red A and family. Maybe next summer we will get him to Montana.

Tina, Fiona, and Red A, one evening in Sacramento.

Update to the Rumors Post

Jim made tenure somewhere...

F@*K Y8U Wall Drug

But really a sign every couple of miles touting marvelous marvels! What a let down! A tourist trap, with wicked poor empty service. Thanks for being near the interstate, it allowed a quick enterance and EXIT :)

A winter's day in Helena, MT

Kevlar stopped in for a visit.  We had a warm spell which melted the majority of the winter snow, so we went for a little walk up Mt. Helena.  He has been returned safely to that country up north. 

Evening Wool

                                                               Notice the band around the chest area. Nicely done Kevlar.

Kevin to the West?

Rumor has it...
     Kevin may be relocating west.
     J-Hole went off the deep end following the President's successful reelection campaign.
     Stoney hates work.
     RedA lives in the States but lives in Taiwan.
     Dean-O will return to the States one day.
     Bread got wed.
     Ponce got upset over a reuben sandwich joke.
     Big John went godzilla somewhere, somehow.
     PJ hired somebody based on her capability to work and not the bodaciousness of her curves.
     PIMP is planning retirements.
Anyhow, just a few of the things I've gleaned since my last post -- no assurances on which may indeed be true...

Pool Cue Business

One day in 2001, while drinking beer with Tom... I bought a case of his pool cues. The exchange rate was CRAPPY!! Here is the historic chart of crap. I remember something about buying 25 cues and my brother would sell them. Last week I found 7 in a box in a barn. Put them on Kijiji and sold 6 to strangers. Kijiji is good, pool cues are bad! Kept one cue for a souvenir.

there is an actual title to this painting but it could be more fun to make one up.

can't help thinking of the j-hole for some reason.

"friends that like each other"

 Hey Ivo, what should we title this picture?

"Friends that like each other." This shot was taken before one bloodied the other's nose in a hernia vs back surgery early morning mist roll.

yes, these characters were here for a whole three days. it was so wet my rolling papers glued themselves together so we had to use em all at once.

Lost but not found..... Reward offered!

Thoughts on a Foreign Land

Halifax is your place if you are in the market for crack.
Stoney had a nice summer.
Nova Scotia McDonalds have McLobster, which has actual lobster in it.  Unfortunately, it also has celery.
It rains. A lot.
Cape Breton makes for a good place to spend some time.
New Brunswick duels with Maine for most boring place to drive across due to an inordinate amount of trees.
Kevlar's parents are about as nice a pair of people as you would ever want to meet.  Kevlar's brother is cool.  Kevlar's brother's girlfriend likes to talk.  Kind of a female version of Red A.
The Canadians will tax you any way they can.  Exhibit 1:  Not only do you pay the price per litre, but on top of that you have to a pay a fuel distribution surcharge at the end.  $30 bucks in the States for a tank, $50 in Canuckistan.
Ivo and Burl are pretty high up on the cute meter (actual quote from Ivo:  Brett, get off the raft for a second, I'm going to do something amazing.).
My body does not recover from an all night drinking session with Stoney and Kevlar like it once did -- drinking until sun-up resulted in sleeping until sun-down.
There are several unprotected borders in New Brunswick.  I've sent the appropriate letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to ensure this situation is remedied.
New Brunswick has a lot of trees (I know it's on here twice, but felt reinforcement of this idea to be necessary).
Stoney's lake house neighbors like to water ski.  Stoney likes peace and quiet.  If Stoney were American, he would have put a cap in their loud asses by now.  Instead he just bitches and whines.
Sandy is all in on this no longer a vegetarian thing.  Atta girl!
A lobster pound is a good place to buy fresh lobster on the cheap.
Antigonish has 5,000 people.  A tour of Antigonish takes one hour by car.  A pizza from The Wheel takes thirty minutes.
If Stoney and Kevlar's parents had grown up in the same neck of the woods, they would be best buddies.  The mothers are crafty and the dads have serious DIY skills.
Bill Clinton visited Antigonish to inaugurate a new building a few years ago.
CBC radio weather reports are automated.  Sounds like you are calling Time whenever it gives you the forecast.

2004 ??

Last week I saw these two yahoos. Great belly laughs!

Happy Independence Day

wounder y the Canadians didn't post anything bout Canada Day, O'well

Happy Texas Day!!

Getting the DFW ready for IJ

Git yer guns up!

The Texas Tech coach and her seven chessmasters who won their second straight national championship this month will all return next year to defend their title. But they'll be doing it at a different school.

In an unprecedented move in the world of college competition, Texas Tech's entire team will transfer to Webster University in the chess hotbed of St. Louis, home to the World Chess Hall of Fame. The private university promised more funding for the team and access to a new, 6,000-square-foot learning center in the city.

Unlike athletes who play college activities governed by the NCAA, chess players can transfer without sitting out for a year.

Coach Susan Polgar chose Webster because of its ties to its home city's chess community. "St. Louis today is the center of chess in America," she told the Associated Press. "It just seemed like a perfect fit."

Polgar is a self-taught prodigy from Hungary who became the top-ranked female player in the world at 15 and has multiple world records related to the game. She developed Texas Tech into an unlikely chess powerhouse since her arrival in 2007. The team's success drew numerous suitors from universities looking to improve their chess programs. When Webster offered full scholarships for all players, Polgar was sold.

Her foreign team -- members come from Iran, Germany, Israel, Brazil, Azerbaijan and Hungary -- said it had no qualms about moving.

Does Chaon know about this?
