Canada's Favorite Blog
Almost Famous
Articles
- 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.

Is that 'ray-giopolis' or 'reeegiopolis' I wonder...

Nickname is "ree-gee". The high school still exists.

Nickname is "ree-gee".
Thanks. For some kind of reason, I find it hard to pronounce. My Dutch 'language module' keeps forcing me to pronounce it as 'ray-<gee>-o' (where <gee> is 'hard Dutch G').

Ops... My <Gee> got eaten there, so it should be like 'ray-<g>-o'.

But your "G" is like the "ch" in Scottish "loch". When I worked in Aalsmeer they were quite impressed that I could say "schriviner" and "Van Gogh" correctly - more like "vin (hork)aw(hork)" to the Canadian ear...all due respect to the Dutch nation, of course.
