Thursday, July 3O Canada![]() I have fond memories from the 1988 Calgary Games which are the first Olympics I really remember. Speaking of Canada, July 1 was Canada Day (or la fête du Canada) which commemorates the confederation of Canada as one entity in the 1860s. CBC TV carried a live concert. The introduction included several Canadians (famous and otherwise) singing "O Canada." William Shatner popped up in there "singing" the national anthem. His singing style was more a proclamatory statement instead of an actual melody -- like Capt. Kirk or Rex Harrison from "My Fair Lady." Otherwise lots of good fun. Raise the flag For someone who has to deal with grammar on a daily basis, this CBC article sheds some light on a long-standing issue regarding how the flag is raised during a time of mourning.
Tuesday, July 1Ranger Rick I went to the "Porkies" today for work. It was nice getting out and about.
A couple of thoughts -- I really should have brought my boots. I walked about a mile in my dress shoes and it was a slightly uncomfortable experience. Secondly, I was surprised how many flies there were. I lived in the South, but it was pretty bad. Still the view at the top of Summit Peak was really nice. I think it would be really nice during the fall color season. Now its time to write up my stuff. |
