Pickle’s Perspective

Every now and again, the driving habits of others absolutely drives me nuts!  I’m not a road rager, and I can count on my hand how often I’ve flipped the bird at another driver, in my entire life.  That said some drivers are so completely clueless that I just want to get out of my car, tap their window and teach them the right way to do things.  More often than not, drivers pull moronic moves in the parking lot.

A message to all the guys out there.  Share your lunch and dinner with your girl.  Let her eat off your plate if she wants.

Afterall…  We did evolve from them.

Some props still need to get brought in tomorrow.  Here’s a sneak peak.  Go to the show this weekend at the Winnipeg Convention Centre to See this awesome display!

Hard economic times?  Cars are lined up to the street at a Winnipeg Tim Horton’s drive thru…  I brew my own coffee, but I guess this is evidence that either times aren’t as tough as the media portrays, or people are just plain unwilling to sacrifice the most simple convenience.

BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Formula 1 | F1 wins will decide world title.

My first reaction is YIKES!

With the new rules, how many races you win will determine who wins the title.  Points will only matter for tie situations.   Although I think this idea is interesting, I fear that this year we will see a severe injury or fatality due to this rule. (continue reading…)

Wikipedia describes the age of majority as:

The age of majority is the threshold of adulthood as it is conceptualized (and recognized or declared) in law. It is the chronological moment when a child legally ceases to be considered a minor and assumes control over their persons, actions and decisions, thereby terminating the legal control and legal responsibilities of their parents or guardian over and for them.

In Manitoba, the age of Majority is 18.  This means, an 18 year old may do the following.

• Cast a ballot in an election
• Smoke
• Join the army
• Apply for a license and if successful, purchase firearms and ammunition
• Obtain a Class 1 through 4 Driver’s license
• obtain employment in hazardous work (without parental consent)
• obtain full time employment (without parental consent)
• Oh yeah.. Consume alcohol

Pardon me, does any one else think this is crazy?  First off.  If you’re an adult shouldn’t you be treated like one?   In my opinion, if you wanna get plastered at 18 that’s your choice.  These adults make the choice and need to understand the consequences.  We need to stop taking away rights from people because we want to believe that they can’t make their own decisions.

These photos were taken while at the “Grey Nun’s house”, now known as Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum.  It’s said to be haunted.  These photos were among a few that had round anomalies in them.  Orbs or Dust suspended in the air?  You decide.
