History

As you all should know, I consider myself an expert on Canadian history. I pride myself on knowing more than the average Canadian, and what I don't know, I look up to discover the truth. As I sat through another internet dry spell, I asked my parents who they would put on new Canadian dollar bills if they had the chance to design new ones. Here are their answers.

Mom: 

1. Tommy Hunter
2. Gordon Lightfoot
3. Anne Murray
4. Peter Mansbridge
5. Peter McKay

Dad:

1. James Wolf
2. Frederick Banting
3. Laura Secord
4. Samuel de Champlain
5. John Cabot

Some interesting choices if I do say so myself, if some are perhaps a little disappointing. Here is my own list of great Canadians, with justification of course.

Pictures from Guatemala

I think I've ranted and complained enough for little while. Time to exchange these large walls of text with some pictures of the land. Enjoy.

Food on the Rio

There is a story about a land where food is cheap and tastes delight your palate as never before. This land is full of colour and life, the chefs wanting to please every patron who comes through their doors. I was told about this promised land, and I was told that there were great culinary delights to be had. I don't know if such a place truly does exist, but I do know for sure that it is not here.

River Fresh

Today my parents wanted to buy a small barbecue to install on the fly bridge. Tired of having restaurant food half the time and mediocre spaghetti the other half, this seemed like a good idea. So charged the battery of the dinghy, and my parents left to go to the store while I took care of the hounds. Unfortunately for them, the dinghy quit half way to the store, and they had to paddle the rest of the way. Now the store they went to wasn't a grocery store, but more of a convenience store trapped forty years in the past. The place has some food, but not exactly stuff to make a decent meal out of. So they grabbed what they could and returned back.

So let's get this final installment of Ingram Asked off right away. This huge list of questions comes once again from Lucy.

Do you feel cold during evening time?

Absolutely not. If anyone ever feels cold in the evening while being here I strongly suggest seeking immediate medical treatment. It's too hot for chills!

Ingram Asked - Answers Part 1

So after a lot of waiting, the first answer session to Ingram Asked is here. Since I got so many questions, I have extended the deadline for question up to Saturday morning. Therefore, those who haven't yet submitted their questions (Dustin), can have the opportunity to do so. So now without further ado, let the answering of questions begin!


This first question comes from my good friend Ali Malik.

Enjoy the Little Things - Update!

When living on the Rio Dulce, like living in a zombie apocalyspe there are some rules you need to follow to stay alive and in the right state of mind. Some of these rules are common sense, but necessary all the same. Today, being my mothers birthday, we stopped to enjoy some of the little things, and now things don't seem quite as bad.
