Questioning Manhood

Sometimes men choose to get cars that fulfill a need in their lives; this is
especially true of my friend. He's not the best looking guy, but his
car is most definitely a beauty! Its really small and very fast though, so I wonder
what that says about his... manhood.

Conspiracy Confidential

Sometimes there are people who choose to believe that the things that aren't made public will lead to the destruction of society as it is now known. I beg to differ; I believe that by the time society is informed of a malady, it is already too late.

Good For Your Soul

I visited the states recently and had a chance to sample a cuisine that is not often boasted, but delicious nonetheless- soul food. The sumptuous tastes combined with a clever seasoning pattern makes for delicious eating; the enormous portions  and high fat level causes you to almost pass out immediately upon finishing your dish. In a word, the food was DELICIOUS!

The Air Up Here

I love the air here. A profound statement indeed, I've had the great pleasure of visiting many different countries, and I'd have to say that here in British Columbia the air is much more crisp and refreshing. Its almost as if those who live in other countries are being deprived of quality oxygen; there's no wonder that places in the states have oxygen bars! I suggest that everyone take a trip to Canada at least once a lifetime- its great for your lungs.

Golden Ears

Golden Ears Bridge costing $5-million more a year than expected

I use the bridge often, and am always surprised at how low the traffic flow is. Huge roadway, mostly empty.

Looking at some of the comments after this article, I'm bemused at people's rage about the toll. Unless you are coming from Abbotsford, the fuel cost more than outweighs the toll cost. Coming from Coquitlam or PoCo, same thing. And those are the two closest cities across the river! From Langley you'd either spend 2-3x the amount in gas dollars, or have to wait for the Albion ferry, which was more often than not, full.

The gas cost is one thing, but the time saving is astonishing. From downtown Langley it's about 10-15 minutes, now, to either Pitt Meadows or Maple Ridge. I can go from Abbotsford to PM or MR in about the same time taking Loughheed from Mission or the Golden Ears, so it isn't decisive. But from Surrey or Langley--! Having a business in Langley which requires frequent trips to Maple Ridge, this bridge is a dream-world for me. Now I just need to register with TransLink....

Plum 350Z

The other afternoon I was zipping along when up ahead I saw this gorgeous plum-coloured 350Z.  I've seen these cars in many colours:  shiny light blue, yellow, silver.  But this is the first time that I understood on a gut level why these cars are so popular.  Somehow the plum added just the touch of class that my particular aesthetic sense desires.  The standard sporty colours make it seem 'light' to me, insufficiently weighty, frivolous.  The plum gave it more heft, and really allowed the gorgeous contours of the body to show to advantage.  At a red light I slowed close to the driver and complimented him on the vehicle.  I felt his wise colour judgment should be reinforced.#

Sun & Dung II

My ride was excellent.  The weather was perfect; my jacket was open a few buttons in front, and the wind whistling in was just cooling enough to keep me perspiration-free without moving me down to cold.  Visibility was 100%.  Traffic was moderate, so even on the main arteries I took to get from Riding Area A to Riding Area B didn't cause any stop-and-go.

Streaming Sun, Steaming Dung

This weekend the sun is absolutely streaming down, and the area looks incredibly gorgeous.  From time to time you get a spectacular waft of hot cow dung smell from farms in the area, which while nasty is also a healthy indicator of seasons, agriculture, etc.  I'm going to be riding motorcycle later this afternoon, and you could hardly find a better day for it!

Delta's Delightful!

Delta, British Columbia, is a beautiful place. It's worth visiting, worth living in, worth doing business in, and, we intend to prove, worth writing about.

This blog is a scrapbook of fact & fantasy. What is written here is a mixture of reality and fiction created as entertainment and pastime. It may on occasion contain helpful information, but this occurs serendipitously, and is not the purpose of the work.
