Dusty Roads

My jogging route this evening.

Not one bird attacked me.  I guess I have to go to the city for that.  ha

At one point there was a cow herder (yeah I also thought robots did that these days) who suddenly walked out of the forest in front of me.  He was carrying a stick and looked kind of scary.  Not gonna say the thought of him attacking me with that stick didn't cross my mind.

Canadian Soccer News and Forum - Away from the storyline


Canadian Soccer News and Forum - Away from the storyline

So Canada played Ecuador to a 2-2 draw last night. I really wanted to go to the game but alas it was my dad's birthday and had to make my way down to Cambridge to celebrate with the fam. Although I missed the game I did get a grassroots taste of my nephew's soccer game, as we all went to watch him. It was one hell of a windy evening, but the sun was out and seeing the little tikes run around and have fun made it worth while. The score was a little lopsided (9-1) for my nephews side, but there was some nice skills from some of the 8 year olds in the game.

I hope to make it to my first Canada game soon. I remember when I was younger and I would watch the games on tv and exhibition stadium was near empty, I still wanted to go.

Hope there's less controversy this go round at the Gold Cup.

Working from a Coffee Culture in downtown Wingham.  4 people said "Hello" to me on the one block walk from TD here.  Nice!!!!

Pilkipedia!

So I listened to the Ricky Gervais's Podcast for the first time even though it's been going for a while.  I really didn't expect much from it, but I found my self laughing a lot.  Not at Ricky but at my namesake Karl Pilkington, one part of the trio that is the podcast along with Stephen Merchant.  They just get Karl to tell stories so they can make fun of everything he says.  Sound familiar?

Karl Quote: "You build up to it, don't you? You have that bit of a chat, and you go "alright? Hows it going?". You get on an' that and then a little baby pops out."

The funny thing is Karl sounds totally serious while he's telling these stories while the other 2 are snickering in the background.  Well Gervais is squealing with laughter in the background. 

When I was listening to it I thought he was a 60 year old from his voice and the way he talked.  But then I looked him up and he's only 38.

Found a whole 'pedia' devoted to him.  Maybe one day I will know this joy!

Loud Neighbours

I swear swear SWEAR the guys upstairs run a wood shop/professional stomping competition.

Consideration simply doesn't exist in today's society.  

One day I will break out my finest hacksaw and just enjoy making them footloose.
