A quick howdy…

A river in Canada’s Rockies – no filter!

Greetings, friends, Romans, countrymen, and assorted yet-unmet WordPress readers! How art thou?

I still get notifications when the people I follow post something new, but summer has been so busy I have not had a chance to read much, and even less time to respond.

I just wanted to check in for whatever it’s worth.

For the past week, I have been out driving. I undertook a solo road trip from central BC, through the Rocky Mountains, to Jasper, Alberta, down to Calgary, out to a remote quarter section of friends in the foothills, and back home via a different route. I had never been to the Rockies. Had I known how incredibly beautiful it was, I would have gone through sooner. It was truly a taste of heaven.

I stayed in a hotel two nights, at two different AirBnb’s, and three nights in the back of my pickup truck under the canopy. The latter was by far the best place to get restful sleep.

Life continues to be busy, so although I dearly wish I could write an entire blog post about the trip, I won’t get time today. I just got home last night, and still have to unpack, and get caught up on some things around the house and yard. My family did a pretty good job holding down the fort though.

Hope you all are having a fabulous summer. Keep looking up, for your redemption draweth nigh!

Corb Lund Announces New Album “Cover Your Tracks”

I saw an email notification tiday saying this blogger started following my blog. I like her style and I see we have a few things in common right off the bat — Looney Tunes and the music of Corb Lund. Cool!

Looney Looney Toons

Stately McDaniel Manor

I grew up with Looney Tunes, actually watching new cartoons at the movies.  Yes, they actually played new cartoons before the feature movie.  Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner were my favorites.  As young and unsophisticated as I was, I understood I was watching cartoons—fictional characters—and the cartoons were funny because they were exaggerated and absurd, but still revealed substantial insight into human nature.
