Fondly remembered.

Oh, she's gorgeous!

He's a very sweet boy, though wilful, and quite clever. He understands the doorknob principle, for example, but can't get a grip on them because of the tufts of fur on his paws. He did figure out how...

Reminds me of Frank, seen here being stalked by a very young Piggles who is doing her best impression of a weasel:

It's kind of obvious from the fact that the cops didn't shoot him...

French fries, if he's lucky.

If I had kids of that age, we would already have discussed this stuff in some detail. Mine were grown before this really became a thing, though.

Happy birthday, ACB!

Thank you all - as much as I'm trying to cut down on social media, it's really good to back here!

A modest suggestion. If one is going to discuss this topic, this approaches essential reading: Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now (Jaron Lanier)

Much like my "Quite good, according to the published​ reviews..."

Thanks - hope your friends all came through OK too.

Chas, how did Murray River/Murray Harbour fare? Lots of my mom's extended family there.

I would imagine it's about the same as the correct reply to the greeting "All right?"

I believe so.

Thanks for that, Paul. It's a shame he's no longer on the forum.

I'm reminded of the big storm on Groundhog Day 1976, just before we moved from NB to MB. Incredibly daft as it seems now, we were leaning out over the little cliff where the back yard ended in...

2ϖr don't lie.

Yeah, that's freakin' brilliant.



My pleasure, and that must have been super cool.



I like that.

Good point.

More to the point... what does Trump, or his handler, have on him?

I'm going to run the Pod and my Nord Electro through a ZEDi-10fx mixer (which handily doubles as a USB interface) and out to my studio monitors. If the Nord ever gets boring (hardly likely), I can...

Nicola Sturgeon must be thrilled.

One of the guys who helped develop that system was a pilot in Resolute when I was a kid. He's a physician at Mayo Clinic now I think, or was (could well be retired).

Oooh I can't wait to see it!

On the subject of gear, I think I already posted the tiny little practice amp I just bought. For playing out loud, I'm leaning toward this:

A whack of...

It's been 20 years away for most of my lifetime; now I'm hearing 5. That seems significant.

My brother was driving back down from a trip up to northern MB last night; we warned him about hitch-hikers and black Nissan SUVs.

Holy crap. I haven't looked at the news since this morning. That's seriously messed up.

Jeez, do you guys ever think about anything besides sex? ;):D

All kidding aside, that hotel is magnificent. And a distillery festival? Serious envy up here!

That's kinda brutal. My dishwasher went through chemo recently, so I had to fill in on occasion... But speaking of appliances, we just had to replace our fridge, and it was a real eye-opener. Next to...

This. They even came with my mandoline.

All the best from the not-so-dry prairies.

All you guitar players, I have to show you the nifty little practice amp I got for the Silver Sky: the Fender Mustang Micro.

USB rechargeable. Plug one end into your guitar, plug a pair of...

Oh, certainly. To say nothing of the brothers (and son) Rogers, Finest Kind, James Keelaghan, the Band (mostly), Stephen Fearing and the rest of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, and more. I was just...

We do apologize for Nickelback. I'm not familiar enough with Bieber's music to opine, but he seems to be popular with the younger set. I was thinking more of acts like the Arcade Fire, Broken Social...

I haven't had a proper electric guitar in the stable for several years, and I have been a Very Good Boy™ lately, so I got me one of these:

It's the inexpensive version of John Mayer's...

I think this is less a thing than it used to me; my generation unabashedly celebrates great Canadians, and we have a lot to celebrate, especially when it comes to music. Canadian bands were/are...

Now there's a blast from the past!

Wouldn't Eric be more of a loon poodle?

I think I'd want it out past the stern, myself...

So now the cons want to defund the police?

Yeah, I can't really bring myself to read Card anymore.

I'm a huge Helprin fan; I haven't heard that he's "militant right-wing", but he was a speechwriter for Bush the Elder IIRC.

I prefer CDs, and direct from the artist if possible. I rip them to lossless files for iTunes, but always have the original CDs for backup.

One takes a certain pleasure in seeing ratfsckers get schooled.

It's an audience already familiar with things like Vtubers. I have trouble imagining much naivetée round those parts. The whole of "celebrity" is already manufactured; this is just a next step. (As...

My house is the exact same vintage, and we're pretty sure it was occupied only by the original family (counting marriages in) until we bought it in 2009. ("Pretty sure" only because the closest...

LIke the man said, the future is here, it's just unevenly distributed.
