Hail

I got caught in a hail storm on my way to Lethbridge the other day. Luckily I pulled into a covered carwash area in time to avoid damage to my truck. However I will be helping my father put a new roof on his rental property now because of it. I know these aren't the biggest pieces of hail ever recorded but they were pretty big for me. When they started to attack my truck I thought the world was ending. It was quite loud.

Behind Sapphire


I had the opportunity to see these Vancouver based musicians perform last night in Lethbridge. I missed an earlier chance while up in Calgary last weekend so it was nice they stopped by a little closer. I really enjoyed the set they played. They are quite eclectic and cross several musical boundaries, all while doing it with good taste and making it flow quite well. They were all on the same page and you could tell they have mastered their songs. I think its safe to say they will continue gaining popularity as they keep heading out on the road. By the way, these guys are extremely down to earth and approachable. Top notch individuals. Click here for more info.

Hurricane Lamp

I got this Hurricane Lamp in Lethbridge at an antique store. I've been wanting to get one for a while and when I came across this one I knew what I had to do. It's from Czechoslovakia. I like that it is from a place that no longer exists, kinda adds a little something to it. I have big plans for this old red lamp.
