Always ready for new and exciting ways for the Canucks to disappoint me. Summer content means more off-season* posting *travel pics, historical tidbits, random musings.

Personal gripe posting: Don't make someone drive if they are uncomfortable. Especially not in a foreign country. With a rental car.

It may be dubious, but at least it is never Dubas. ((immediately gets hit by a roster where 50% of the cap is devoted to four aging players))

It is the BEST airline I have ever experienced in Europe and honestly they won me over as a client for life these past two days. So happy to be reunited with my suitcase.

PRO-TIP. It is a bit pricier than your budget airlines but... FLY AEGEAN AIRLINES AT ALL COSTS. It held the plane for us when Heathrow fucked us over; then, when sleep deprived me entered the wrong baggage tag, it still managed to find the bag, and delivered to my address in a different country.

I second this. I did the Frankfurt connection last year and Heathrow this year. Frankfurt was smooth af.... Heathrow I got half my luggage the next day.

I don't know if I am grateful or spiteful about the existence of airtags for luggage. On the one hand I know where it is. On the other... it's not with me.

If Heathrow is grounding all planes until the match is over I will 1) Be fucking pissed because I am on this g'damn flight and there is a baby. 2) Kind of respect it.

I watched the latest episode on a train at 6am. Guy sitting next to me was not amused.

((insert George Bush pic)) A second professor who didn't attend my panel, has independently heard about it. Tempted to create a transmission map.

And one who attended the panel said (complementarily), "You have the confidence of a 30yr old white man." (I am not a 30yr old white man)

One withdrew from the panel in advance so we were down to two. The other just never showed up! I had never seen this before and most everyone I've talked to hasn't either

None of the speakers showed up in my conference panel, so I was grilled for an hour in a room of relatively hostile audience members.

I have an ongoing "number of times Americans abroad have made complete asses of themselves" counter during my trip. The number is higher than you'd think.

On this day in 2021, Lytton, B.C. recorded the highest recorded temperature in Canadian history. The temperature hit 49.6 C. The top 7 temperatures in Canadian history all occurred on that day. The previous record was 45 C in Yellow Grass SK in 1937.

Waking up across the Atlantic is basically playing a constant game of "how did America fuck up today?" and DAAAAAAAAAMN.

Watching him lift the Cup also brought me to tears. Happy for the guy. He has charisma which is in short supply in this league

Oh totally. It's a sign of complete lack of trolling creativity. One thing I love about Canucks fans as a collective is that no one can troll us harder than we troll ourselves. WE know pain and laugh.

Saw a "at least we're not Canucks fans who burn down their city" take from an Edmonton fan. That's right. We're a special kind of tortured fan. You could never understand.
