Unthinkably Pink
It's the Hello Kitty™ tartan!Yes, yes, I know: what has been seen can't be unseen and I owe some folks eyeball bleach to get that image out of their minds. But it's all in a good cause. Monday, February 29th is Pink Shirt Day, when you can take the opportunity to stand against bullying by showing your colours--in this case, pink. By wearing pink you'll show others that you're committed to a bully-free lifestyle.
Awareness of bullying has come a very long way since my school days when kids were advised to 'Stand up for yourself', and that, 'Bullies are cowards, they'll back down'. Hogwash, of course. Bullies are manipulative, hurtful sociopaths, and rather than 'back down', they come back from another direction, working to isolate their victims and torment them. The only way to deal with them is to shine a light on their behaviour and to confront it at every turn: evil thrives in darkness and together we can light up the corners where they hide, and standing together we can abnegate their anti-social acts and make safe and welcoming schools and workplaces.

It's a beautiful thing. Welcome to the "Smoker's World"! Great first project!
Isn't it gorgeous? Who would have ever thought I'd take up smoking at my age?

Mmmmm, bacon. I'm intrigued even more than I've been in the past. I've got an old charcoal smoker, but this looks so easy that I may have to invest in an electric. Bacon, turkey, jerky, fish and nuts!
It's so easy that it's almost embarrassing. I smoked a brisket on the weekend and now I'm looking for a cute little duckie that needs a good dose of cherry wood, for some cherry sauce, and maybe a nice merlot . . . guhhhhh.
