Lol. Meanwhile in DC, this billboard for a gym has wealthy suburban residents upset...

I was imagining the uproar if they added "Fresh Meat" to it.


PS - Puck - stop creeping on sleeping women!

I forgot to tell you guys that I loved Vancouver. The city is beautiful and I had a great time albeit short time there. It's the kind of place I could see myself living if I ever had to move.

another one from Grouse Mountain

I was night-skiing up there many many moons ago, and the only thing we could see poking through the low clouds was an apartment fire in the west-end (a residential part of right downtown).
it was pretty freaking amazing, but before a time when everyone had cameras on their cell phones.
actually, it was before people had cell phones. and now I feel old. thanks.

Question for the Vancouver folks on the board:

How credit card friendly is Vancouver? I'm going to be there for two weeks on business and trying to assess my need to get some Canadian cash during the visit.

You should have no issues using your credit cards - Plenty of currency exchange places as well (aside from banks) if you want to get Canadian cash as well.

Credit cards should be ok i think but make sure to bring along an ample supply of beaver pelts

Hmmm, I only acquired a bunch of moose antlers ahead of time. What's the conversion rate for beaver pelt to moose antler?

there's a ferry that goes between Vancouver and Victoria - 2 hours between the gulf islands, spectacular scenery, but it's basically a commuter ferry. Dash will be on it 4x per week.

so anywho, here's a pod of about 1,000 dolphins swimming beside the ferry from a couple of days ago
