A bridge too far?

Do not run. Stay calm. Keep children close. Back out. Keep your eye on the bear without staring at it aggressively. Prepare to use bear spray. Speak in a soft, low voice.

Do not run, the audio on the video was correct.

Do not intimidate and use a soft voice.

There...Bob Ross mode.

Yes, have bear spray (and legal weaponry).

Also (IMHO)

Do not dance...

Do not prance...

Do not ask for an autographed 'paw'.

Do not offer dental work. (If you are properly licensed to do so).

Do not claim your rights to cross the bridge are being violated by that hairy beast.

Do not ignore the bear, like some pedestrians ignore vehicles at crosswalks (or simply crossing the road) in Vancouver and Maple Ridge...

Do not attempt a you and the bear 'selfie'.

Do not attempt a Canadian bear hug.

Do not ask the bear if he/she is upset that the Bruins lost the Final to the Blues.

Do not ask the bear if he/she is related to Smokey or Yogi.

Do not try to sell the bear 'pot'.

Do not witness to the bear.

The Lazy: Dedicated to the Rage & 007

 Bored Panda July 2019 Fake Products

Well, this is a topic my good friends, the Rage and 007 discuss much on our Facebook group!
The topic is also presently relevant to both Maple Ridge and Vancouver.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 New American Standard Bible (NASB): 10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

For clarity, I would add that this scripture implies that the brother (person for a modern context) mentioned has the ability to work. The aged and disabled are not meant here. This is also not including the unemployed between work, in a modern context. The verse is commenting against lazy, useless people. In verse 6, it is the brother that leads an unruly life. The King James Version: (KJV) mentions the 'disorderly' in verse 6. By the way, writing this website would be considered ministry work.

Seems to me I had a Fisher-Price phone like that...

That would be some impressive technology!

I could see myself buying that for a child...I like the varied horses. It also reminds me of Me TV.

False witness

July 27 2018

BOSTON, MA—Local man Justin Fuller immediately fell dead after clicking “I have read and accept these terms and conditions” when installing a new piece of software Friday morning. The Lord and Sovereign Judge, from which nothing is hidden, could tell Fuller had not even glanced at the twelve pages of legalese, and thus his checking of the box was a lie against which God took immediate vengeance.

Exodus 20:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. King James Version (KJV) Public Domain

It is a good thing this is satire and not actual serious, reasonable theology, otherwise many of you, including most likely, Chuck, would be in big trouble, perhaps even dearly departed from this present realm.

(No comment on myself...)

Thank you to Saint Chuckles of Maple Ridge for the link.

The commandment is serious, however. These Old Testament/Hebrew Bible commandments are well summed up by Jesus Christ in Matthew 22, Mark 12, Luke 10 in the New Testament.

New arena for John the Rage (Calgary)

National Hockey League

No surprise, Calgary eventually negotiated a way to an agreement on an event centre and arena which would keep the Calgary Flames in Calgary, long term.

This provides new Calgarian, John the Rage, with a modern National Hockey League arena and events centre to attend, when he can fit it into his busy work and social schedule. Including exciting Christian singles events...

(By the way, the Rage would like to state that quote: 'Chuck needs a dome!', even though Chuck would look even more like the Red Skull, if he did as the Rage suggests.)

The city, the Calgary Flames and the Calgary Stampede have agreed on terms for an event centre that would become the new home for the Flames and replace the 36-year-old Saddledome. City council has yet to approve the deal, but details were unveiled at a news conference Monday evening at city hall. The estimated cost of the proposed 19,000-seat venue is $550 million.

Paying part of that $550 million should not effect your inheritance/savings/investments, too much, Rage.

The cost to build it would be split equally between the city and Calgary Sports and Entertainment, which owns the Flames, the Western Hockey League's Hitmen, CFL's Stampeders and National Lacrosse League's Roughnecks. 

Council is expected to vote on ratification next week. If the deal is approved, shovels go in the ground in 2021.

CSEC would retain all revenues generated by the event centre, but the city would get a facility fee on every ticket sold to every event for 35 years — estimated to be $155 million — receive a share of naming rights and collect any additional property tax from businesses that spring up in the area. 

The city vowed in its proposal that the new arena would not increase municipal property taxes. CSEC would also invest $75 million into local community sports organizations over 35 years.

From a Canadian perspective, Ottawa remains the only Canadian League market with significant questions in regard to a suitable long term building.
