Episode 256 - Weavers Don't Take Credit Cards

There’s a storm a brewin’.

Mike the Virtual Yooper is visiting, well, sorta, as he stayed here Thursday night and left for Podcamp Toronto on Friday. He comes back Sunday, leaves for home Monday, weather permitting.

The break week was eventful. Jon spilled a Pepsi on his computer and subsequently wrecked it. A new one will serve as his 18th birthday present.

Isabelle and I are (weather permitting) going to a thing tomorrow. Because of this, Isabelle wants me to wear a jacket.

Isabelle has been doing lots of cool stuff, and she updates all of us about it.

Episode 255 - Strata of Snowbanks

So, the crazy cold is over.

However, the crazy amount of snow is here as you can see in the picture.

Our neighbour, Doug, snowblowed our driveway yesterday, he shall receive the Order of Lenin for this!

Isabelle was in Toronto being the rural juror. She stayed at a cool hipster boutique hotel.

There was, sadly, a kid killed by her father this week in Toronto. There was an Amber Alert about it. SOME PEOPLE GOT UPSET BY THIS BECAUSE IT DISRUPTED THEIR SLEEP! The technical term for people like this is ‘asshole’.

Remember when you were a kid and you dug tunnels into snowbanks? That was probably not that safe when you think about it.

Episode 254 - Hot Coated

OK, now for the weather update……

It’s not so cold, but we had freezing rain, and a LOT of snow yesterday. Jon dows not want to accept any help shovelling, which is odd.

Isabelle’s group at 180 Projects (it’s not 'her group per se, but I can’t think of another way to express this) hosted an opening this week. It went well. There was a report about it on Radio Canada, as it was the first francophone art exhibit in the city since 1987.

The roads are a mess.

There was a fire last week downtown, big doings afoot.

I bought us a new shovel, because one of our snow shovels broke.

I had a fun encounter with an International student on the bus.
