"Miss Chatelaine" k.d. lang

on Putin.

Intense discussion on the local radio, recently, with the question... Which is Canada's Best Loved Dessert? Butter Tart? or Nanaimo Bar? I'm a Bar guy, myself, with my mother born in Nanaimo BC, on Vancouver Island fer gawds' sake! Heart of Canada's Nanaimo Bar Land! Is this Canada's Fave Dessert? A messy thing you wouldn't even serve to your cat/dog? And there's not even any maple syrup in it, for darned sake! Or is it the (MOST OBVIOUS CHOICE) Nanaimo Bar, from the West Coast of Can'eh'da? And is so exquisitely layered the way that it is. <drool>......

Here's one. A really REALLY adorable puppy .... And so doggone cute! The fur colouring is really something! And then there's that "Just A Touch of..." 'accentuation' over the one eye. Perfect.

Saw on other sites, that Dolly was there, doing a mini-welcome wagon 'parade' for the opening season. Man, I would love to meet her! She's so honest, and forthright with her convictions. And support. And her music! Photo from the web. Thank you to whoever put this together.

^ And there's green and mellow yellow, hmm? Gotta love that combo. But electric burple is hard to beat.

I honestly, really think, that the coaster-riding public, doesn't give a flying f about the "color scheme" etc. They want a thrilling coaster ride. Period. IMhO.

^ Remind me to have you as My Official Tour Guide, for when next I tour .... to Texas ...... I hope. Sooner than later.

Awesome selection of food and beverages at Raglan Road. Thanks for sharing (and eating/drinking/sharing) all of it, Adam.

It's going to be quite something to see, when that Cars Road Trip fence comes down (if it does in fact come down), and waaaaaay in the distance, you see Arendelle! Thanks for the great update! EDIT to add: Of course, Disney Parks are known for the Instant Forests they've grown and planted along with the attraction, etc. So ..... they may still block the view of "Arendelle" (and the lake) with more trees around that section of Road Trip, that can see it all. Could happen.

Posting this, for all those cat-loving owners ( who are 'owned' ) out there....

William Hurt, Oscar winner for "Kiss of The Spider Woman." RIP

Just to know .... the annual TONY AWARDS are going to held on Sunday, June 12th, LIVE on TV, from Radio City Music Hall. WOO HOO! Something to actually look forward to, theatre-wise. this summer! On CBS. Check local listings. The cut off date for all productions, is April 28th.

Joey, do you keep the boxes that everything came in? I ask specifically of all the TOMICA 'vehicles' you have? I have really no more actual 'space' in the house anymore, to really show off all the TOMICAs I have. I need more shelves, too, I guess LOL. So I keep them all in their boxes, hidden away, privately. But I am curious whether you keep the boxes, or not? And what do you do with them, if you do keep them?

^ Looking good, there. Thanks for the updates, Marcus.

^^ It needs a beer, there. Lotsa pepperoni though, which is a very good thing.

^ That "Chariots Of Fire" segment (second vid) was a - may - ZING!!! Great use of fire AND movement. Thanks for sharing the videos!

Yay! Won some $$$$ on my weekly buy of scratch tickets and the Poker Lotto I play, as well. Feels good.

^ I do think that the balloon in there might prevent more..... uh .... snacks from being stored in it? Unless of course, it's a flat kind of thing ...

These will be available on March 31st in Tokyo Disneyland. Here ya go, Elissa! And note, these are candy/snack cases, not popcorn buckets. Here's more info: https://wdwnt.com/2022/03/adorable-mickey-balloon-candy-cases-featuring-chip-n-dale-coming-march-31-to-tokyo-disney-resort/

I need to make myself some tuna salad, for sandwiches, ASAP!

^ I was thinking, that with how "the house" is set up (with a inner courtyard and all the 'doors' up above, one level?), maybe doing the Omnimover route might be best for this, if it was ever built. And - I like the way that the "cardboard boxes" Omnimover in the Universal Pets' "Off The Leash" attraction were spaced farther apart than the Disney parks Omnimovers. Maybe if they take away two vehicles between two (that make sense?) all the way, it might prove to be a better experience, than the riders seeing that long, ongoing never ending line of Omnimover cars ahead of them. Just my thoughts on it.. Universal Hollywood's "Pets: Off The Leash" Omnimover system. Photo from Theme Park Insider.

Some wonderful wintery shots there, Marcus! As well, all the night shots with various lighting are awesome, too. Thanks for sharing this set, before you show the set of photos you intended to post, LOL.

^ It's going to be really fascinating how things go, with Q back, after .... how many decades? I think The Quote went something like ..... "The trial never ends, Jean Luc."
