I remember the god old days when I was a wee lad and my parents used to read to me the commons sense corruptions of Mike Harris.

I rode them in March to Vancover.

I hope they last another 70 years.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee is their goal.

A rather impressive sized pond. I wonder how well it freezes in the winter. Possibly skatable?

Of course, Toronto, aka "Methodist Rome," would keep to the rules.

TODAY IN ARGOS HISTORY
OCT 5, 1935 – Coming off the bench for an ineffectual Andy Mullan, rookie QB Annis Stukus (L) led the Double Blue to a 15–12 comeback win in Ottawa in his Argonaut debut, in large part thanks to a pair of field goals by tackle Tommy Burns (R).

And to play QB and win!

He was of the last vintage where local kids playing QB for local team was common.

New wheels?

Some good results

Then the final step.

3. Booze the cars.

Wrong Rouge River.

So everything all at once?

Back in the day when you could go from high school to the Argos.

A black-and-white photograph of a vintage sports team, featuring twelve men arranged in three rows. The back row has six men standing, the middle row has three men seated, and the front row has three men sitting on the floor. The men in the back and front rows are wearing matching uniforms with a large "A" on the chest, striped socks, and early football or rugby-style attire. The three men in the middle row are dressed in formal suits and ties, with one appearing older and possibly a coach or official. The photo has a handwritten signature "Rossiter" in the bottom left corner.

On this day in 1873, the Argonauts Football Club was established in Toronto. The team played its first game on Oct. 18.
The Argos are the oldest professional sports team in North America still using its original name. To date, they have won 19 Grey Cups.
Pic is of 1906 team.

Size should dictate everything...

Make the violinists play the cello while holding it like a violin.

Anyone who manages to do so, automatically wins lead.

An October evening punt on the Rouge River.

This war on judicial Christmas cannot stand!

Are the Bosnian socialists in the EU now?

Because that can't be good.

The war on judicial Christmas continues..

And the war on judicial Christmas continues...
