Wait...What? That's Not What I Had In My Will!

 


Kids will be kids.  "Hey, we're going to Disney World!"


Now some people have impressive mausoleums erected to themselves.


Others something more modest, but still dignified and respectful.


And others, well....not so much.


And in case you're thinking, "Come on UC, this is just temporary", this has been this way for over two months. The tossed flowers are a nice touch.

Now, in the kids' defense, maybe he said something like, "Oh nothing fancy, don't do anything special."

You got it, Pop.


And on a sort of related topic......

So Here's The Thing.....

News item: Ontario's vaccine passport system goes into effect today.

To enter gyms, restaurants, bars, mall food courts, etc., you must show your vaccination certificate.


Awk!

And many people have not got them yet.

So what do you do?  Easy - you go to the Government of Ontario Public Health website and print one off.

So the Urban one decided to try it out.


Oh, what's that?  I'll try it again. Nope, same result.

Turns out, after some sleuthing, the website is down for "regularly scheduled maintenance".

Only the government could do this.

The morning the Vaxport programme goes into effect, the gol darned Vaxport website is down.

If Tim Horton's or Canadian Tire were rolling out a new system, you know for sure that system would have been ready to go, on time.

Do you think someone - just one person - in that Public Health department might have said, maybe we should reschedule that maintenance? Or maybe get it done ahead of time so when the programme goes live we are ready.

So here's the thing....why wouldn't everybody in that Public Health department have thought the same thing?

Why?  It's the government.

I Believe It

 


By "believe it" I mean....not the quarter-pounder-is-bigger part but the customers-thought-that-it-was part......


And while I'm at, in the same category......

Help or Hinderance?

 While we're on the topic of the upcoming election, here is another lawn sign.

This looks to be supporting Chrystia Freeland. Okay...



And up in the corner she looks to be running for re-election. Okay...



And down at the bottom looks to be running for the Liberals.  Okay....



But what does that say way up there in the tiny print?



Ohhh..... 

I guess that's about the smallest font available....


And to change the subject completely......

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

 


A line from a famous U2 song, yes - but is there really anything wrong with that? 

If you had found what you are looking for, what next?  It's great to be happy, sure.

But I think it is the pursuit of happiness that really adds spice to life.



Can you tell me this little guy doesn't believe that.....

I Am Not Kidding - We Are Out Of Kibble



Strangers In The Night....Do Doobie Doobie




Does Someone Need A Snuggle?


We came as fast as we could.
