Wow, that’s an incredibly bright decision
First off, I'm not a hockey fan. I often joke that I get interested in hockey during the second overtime period of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. Officially, this year I watched the final overtime period of game 5, and the last 8 minutes of last nights game. I used to joke that…

Sleeping with Dan
I am occasionally afflicted with insomnia. Not that often but from time to time I just can't fall asleep. It's not the light, after years of shift work I had my circadian rhythm beat out of me. I can sleep when it's light, dark, morning noon or night. For some reason I think our brains…

Something’s happenin’ here.
What it is ain't exactly clear. The picture is dull and dark, but it was a grey rainy evening. Just a perfect evening for ATV'ing out of town to change the tire on a truck with no spare. The picture is of Arctic Bay (the body of water) from the opposite side of town. Arctic…

My mum in Australia wants to talk to you. Conclusion.
Link to Part one. One thing about the incident was the victims got to see a lot of western Canada. They were paying for the trip without realizing it but they did go on a trip. As they traveled around seeing the sites, they stayed in a lot of hotels. Leo would check them in,…

My mum in Australia wants to talk to you. Part five.
It has been a long time since I worked on this story and part of what has motivated me to pick it back up is some recent interest in it, and a dilemma. When I first started writing these "True Crime" posts I wrote that I changed some names, not to protect the guilty but…

Cackling Geese
For the past couple of days I've been out trying to get decent views of three geese down stream from our water lake. I was out for a drive on Monday with Hilary, trying to see what new species had arrived for the spring and to work on the Canadian Wildlife Service checklists I've been…
