Tommorrow is the big day. I suppose the good citizens of Syracuse (something I would like to hear Daffy Duck repeat five times fast) would find it funny that their town is an object of such a trip but butter beans beckon. We shall got to the Carousel Centre, aka "da maall", try to find Armory Square and have lunch maybe at Clark's. Perhaps in the afternoon a jaunt to the Sally Ann for goofy t-shirt and hoodie hunting and a walk around a Wegmans to stare at the plenty like newcomers to a new continent whispering audibly in our foreign accents things like: "Look! Triscuits with garlic flavour added...real cheese in a can...America!" Then back across at the Thousand Islands to pay that pound of flesh and slip back into the great northern forest.

- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
- Another plume catches my eye.
- Stuff less serious than Stuff.
- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

I was going to say. Maybe we will allhook-up at the 2005 State Fair near the Dinosaur BBQ.
Robert, can you get a garbage plate in Syracuse or is that strictly Western NY?

It doesn't spray like an aerosol ... it's more of a squeeze-tube effect .. you can make purty lil cheese rosettes on your crackers n stuff ... yummm.

Wasn't that sold in Canada in the 70s as "Squeeze A Snack"?

Alan, I'm not sure where I'll be tomorrow in the shopping scrum, but if you see a short, dark-haired chick in a tan jacket with a Goodwill Games pin on the lapel (looks like a UN logo), chances are it's me. I might very well be at the KillUsAll Mall tomorrow, but I have to take my mom around shopping so I don't know where or when I'll be.
And by the way, ain't no such thing as a garbage plate in the Salt City. You'll need to go to Rochester for that.

I will be the only 6 foot 4 inch guy in the Mall with a Sweden hockey team hat.
