SSAB - August 27, 2026

It wasn’t the upgrade, Steve. Did you check the connection? Yeesh!

Off to the Hockey Hall of Fame! It’s not a museum, but an honorary area for hockey. Didn’t know there were two Stanley Cups! Yes, I bought a picture for $10 despite having a cell phone. Lots of history and old stuff, might be worth it if you’re into sports or want to learn about one of Canada’s premier attractions. It was a good trip down memory lane, but I almost missed some of the museum because it was tucked away to the opposite direction of the cinema space.

DID make a video, but may only publish to Facebook.

Yes, I did get my visa. What next?

And I got a new follower! That makes 12 on Spotify and 7 on Apple!
