Saturday Snap - We Haven't Done Recycling In Awhile...

I'm not sure how often we take can & bottle recycling but it's usually once we get about 4-5 bags. This time, we had more like a dozen!

Music Monday - "The Golden Rim Motor Inn/Soft water and a colour TV/Can't afford the luxury"

You probably shouldn't base your motel selections on twenty year old Tragically Hip songs but when they end up having views like this...
  I asked at the check-in if they had many people mention the Tragically Hip song when they checked in (too embarrassed to admit that's exactly why I chose this motel) and the clerk said, "Not as much as there used to be when the song first came out but it still happens occasionally." He went on to say he was on desk when the Hip checked in. Their tour bus had broken down in the mountains and he didn't like the looks of them - a typical long-haired rock band, he thought they'd trash the place! He then asked if they were still making music. Man, if Canada's biggest band made your motel famous, you'd think you might follow their career a bit. I mean, your motel does have free wireless!

Saturday Snap - A Cart (A Range? A Collection? A Bay?) of Librarians at CLA 2010

My "Misadventures at CLA 2010" series sort of died out after a couple days, somewhat ironically because I was out having mis-adventures that left me less time for actually summarizing what I was up to. (And let's be honest - the first two I wrote were pretty "I did this then I did this" boring anyhow.)
But I did want to wrap up another great CLA experience with a photo that I hoped could capture a bit of what it's like to be at this conference. This is from the reception at the Art Gallery of Alberta last night:  Saturday, May 29

I was in Prince Albert for a couple days last week so stopped at the historic (and endangered) St. Louis Bridge on the way home for a quick photo.

Pace playing on the children's computer at RPL's Sherwood Village Library earlier today (and you know you're a library nerd when you take the whole family there on your day off after spending the whole week working at the library!)

Saturday Snap - A Boxful of Childhood Memories
by

I rediscovered this this box in the garage recently and Pace was *very* excited to get so many "new" toys all at once!
For Pace, it's new but for me, this box contains so many childhood memories. I used to spend hours, not just re-enacting Star Wars & GI Joe scenes but using the figures to simulate hockey games, wrestling matches and football games. I used to act out movies, TV shows and rock bands with these figures - some based on real shows or bands I'd seen but many times creating originals out of my head. And look at that - in the bottom right, an original Luke Skywalker! A couple quick Google searches doesn't tell me what an out-of-box Skywalker figure with no light saber and slightly yellowed with age is worth. But I mean, if Walrus Man (who's also in that box somewhere) is going for $9.98, Luke's gotta be worth at least double that right?   Saturday, April 17
Saturday Snap(s) - Up on the Roof

Regina had a wicked wind storm about a week ago and we lost a piece of the fascia on the front of our house. My folks were in today to help us fix the damage. Here are a couple snaps from the day...
Dad shares an old electrician's trick that helps you protect the house when using a ladder
 The person steadying the ladder probably shouldn't be taking pictures!  "Hmm, how come they all get to stay on the ground?" (I'm guessing one of them wished he could join daddy and grandpa on the roof though!)  Saturday, April 3
Saturday Snap - Quiet, Artiste at Work!

Bought an iPhone app called "Touch of Colour" that allows you to highlight one area/colour of a photo while turning the rest to black & white (or another colour of your choice.)
I know you can do this with most cameras these days (including ours) and probably with Photoshop and all the other similar programs. But doing this on the iPhone was, like so many things on that little piece of technological crack, simply very fun! (Plus it helps to have good underlying photos - both of these are from a sitting we did with a very talented co-worker of Shea's - who, if you're in Regina, is currently taking spring bookings.)

Friday Fun Link - Is Google God? (April 2, 2010)

If you think about it, you can make a pretty strong case that Google is the closest thing we have to a scientifically-provable omniscient, omnipresent God. (I know I'm a believer!)
Meanwhile, I saw this photo on an atheist message board today with the very un-PC but otherwise fitting caption given the recent sex scandals rocking the Catholic Church: "Happy Easter! Enjoy Your Chocolate Treats - You Know This Guy Will!".   |
