Sure she didn't. She probably doesn't remember meeting Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, either.

Years ago, when I first started looking into social media, I read the Facebook privacy policy and said "No, Thanks!"

They are quite humus, though.

I think they were first printed in the 1940's, so were not new even when I was a kid in the 50's. Sam was a naturalist/photographer/filmographer who lived with his wife Ginny on a small island in a lake in the Wisconsin wilderness in the summer, and made film and lecture tours in the winter.

Also, you only have to pick up after it once a year.

It can be very difficult trying to negotiate a mime-field.

All of the Sam Campbell nature books. Remember those?

Actually, he might just be the one to trust. Remember that in a shop with more than one barber they cut each other's hair.

As an Anglophone with only limited French, I get forgetting the French lyrics - but the tune?

Whenever I go to the bathroom, Duncan posts himself in the doorway to guard me. I'm not sure what he's protecting me from, but I do appreciate his efforts.

I read a lot of band books while studying to be a school band teacher. 😀

And my friend, flutist Bill Damur, should have had a sister named Melody.

Living on CPP and OAS. Can't afford either one. Already have an old car, though.

Lack of transit service to areas to which I need to carry more stuff than will fit on a bike.

I think I'd be happier with more simple bike racks that are lock friendly.

Happy Caturday. This is why my bed so often remains unmade.

I rather suspect the only people who will want to go there are recent immigrants from the U.S. It will help them feel more at home.

I see how it can be read that way, but there is nothing inherently separatist about selling a provincial flag.

This is at best an exaggeration, and at worst an outright fabrication. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ-K...

Job? No, as I'm now retired and used to bike to work. Outlets for my trombone playing hobby (which is where I really live) would be pretty much completely eliminated.

Nice! It's one of only two Stones songs I really like.

Deke Slayton, who was one of the original seven U.S. astronauts (and a southpaw), was heard to say "I'd give my left arm to be the first man in space."

I expect that's also why French omelets are so small. 😀

I remember sitting in the commencement ceremony when graduating from university and thinking "I really don't feel any smarter than when I started."

Found an old abandoned bike last week and decided to bring it back to life. It's an Apollo Custom Sport vintage 10-speed. Needed some parts I already had lying around and a couple I had to buy. It's actually a great ride, and it feels really good to ride again - but my bum hurts!

Yeah. Just busy, thanks.

If you ever feel your job is pointless, remember this: somewhere in a factory, someone is putting turn signals on BMWs.

It might be more amusing to pocket them and watch them stumble around blindly.

I once got locked in a closet. I managed to escape, though. I rummaged around and found a bass drum, so I picked it up and beat it.

Some "Christians" pray on their knees every Sunday, and prey on everyone else the rest of the week.

I find it interesting that their name translates to English as "Angina". Literally "Heart Pain".

Good one. I've found that when I'm walking my cat and he sits in one spot for a long time all I have to get him moving again is to sit down beside him.

I've always wondered what purpose a tach serves in a car with an automatic transmission.
