I find this pretty cool.

Found out that "Barkour" is a thing.

On a windy day, using my rain coat and two canoe paddles to sail across Whitefish Lake, located in the Sylvania Wilderness,, Goegbic, County Michigan Two weeks of solitude there, in the early Spring, restores my soul. The Pike campsite. No cell phone. No radio. Not another soul in sight. Two portages from Clark Lake, via Glimmer glass Lake and I'm there. I understand what John Muir felt about traveling in the mountains alone. Hoist my food up a rope on a tree branch to keep it safe from black bears. A light snow falls on my old canvas tent. Reading the novel "Rascal" by Sterling North, while inside my warm sleeping bag. Cooking meals over an open fire. Pairs of Loon cry to each other on the lake. Wedge my kerosene lantern in the bow of my canoe for a night paddle around the lake. A fond memory for me.

The "Digital detox" is something that's catching on these days

Kudos for Kink for thinking of a original ad but... do children give their fathers porn subscriptions?

It might just be me, but this makes me laugh. Why take our planes when you can take our bus?

tvstrip: I'm not sure if that is the case in your .. example, but I get travel deal e-mails on Wednesdays. I know some European airlines (IcelandAir?) offer escorted vacation packages - including the airfare. Likely one of those instances. Why not have your logo on the bus / motor coach? Free advertising / marketing.

For sure, it's a business. I just see it as funny seeing them advertise on what's a basically a competing mode of transportation.

Plus, for Air Canada, there are many stories of flight delays where taking a bus would have literally gotten them to the destination sooner.

And Air Canada is making new right now by suing passengers who got compensation for delayed/cancelled flights:

In a series of small claims cases, several passengers have been awarded compensation from Air Canada, but the airline is also taking legal action against those who filed complaints or booked alternative flights, sparking a debate over passengers' rights and airline responsibilities in such situations.
Air Canada's legal battle with stranded travelers is not the first time an airline has sued its own passengers.

It might be me, but that bush looks a bit higher than it should be.

Thank goodness my recent vacation was (relatively) local / by car. And, also the timing (departed Fri 7/19, mid-day). I was impacted by my initial hotel not being able to put the incidental deposit on my CC; instead, they took my information down.

If I was flying - say, trying to return home - THAT would have SUCKED!!

Not sure if coincidence or by design, but looks great either way!
