I've been doing a hella lot of kayaking recently.  It just occurred to me that even though Mischa has a buggered shoulder, I can go out and have adventures by myself.  This is starting to become similar to my long-distance cycling habit. Me:  I'm in the water.  I will go over here. An hour later Me:  Well, I'm here.  I will go over there. Two hours later Me:  That island doesn't look very far away... An hour later Me:  I'm sure I'll get there eventually. Two hours later Me:  I... think I should head towards shore.  It's dark out and I'm navigating by residential lights. This is Vancouver Island, yo.  The next thing you know, I'll ha

The killer was arrested about an hour ago in Moncton, NB.  Props to the RCMP and emergency responders who put themselves in harm's way to apprehend him.  No further loss of servicepeople's lives.  The cops shot left behind wives, children... I'm kind of sorry they took him alive.  No doubt he's going to have a crackpot theory about why he murdered three people and wounded two others.  WTF.  Am I still in Canada?

Thoughts going out to Moncton, NB.  Three RCMP officers are dead and two in the hospital after a lone gunman opened fire at 7:30 EST, June 4, 2014.  Watching Twitter... waiting for news. Moncton, our thoughts are with you.
