Canoeist Don Starkell Dies | Canoe & Kayak


I have met Don several times over the years. From seeing him on the Red River to attending some of his seminars seeing his slides. I have his books in hard cover and autographed. Very interesting person. R.I.P.

Lego Man in Space

Well if you missed seeing this one it is really interesting. Stunning views of our atmosphere and a 'Lego' man in space!

The two Toronto teens who sent a Lego man into near space were practically lifted into the stratosphere themselves on Wednesday by a rush of congratulations and media attention.Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, launched a balloon 80,000 feet above the Earth with a Lego passenger and four cameras to document the trip.

Lottery Scanner

Here is a great idea. Before you go the machine to scan your lottery tickets -- actually get them ready. The other day there was this lady who puts her big purse on the counter and stands in front of the scanner then proceeds to go thru her purse looking for her lottery tickets to scan.

What a idiot... Completely ignoring the line now behind her. Glad she didn't win. My scan a $ 1 winner on Supper Lotto. I really think it's time for them to put more money in the lower prizes. Too much at the high end

This is the joy of winter driving when some idiot in a big truck deliberately drives close to you. Managed to get it wash before it freezes again. Freezing rain for toinight. Will be nice once it drys off again.
