Snow and ice collects on the massive cables until enough is stuck together, many pounds worth, at which point it slides off the rounded cable and falls down to hit the cars below. ...At a Calgary Hitmen game, a minor league hockey franchise, (The NHL is still on strike much to the disgust of many here in Canada) they do something called a Teddy Bear Toss. ...Well, this week at a game in England they held up a sign saying Corinthians 1-0, only that wasn’t some guy in a rainbow wig. ]]>Douglas AalsethHome Page2012-12-16T06:51:22-08:00http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/1cc66ed7dabd0b59f11c20756a201c52-102.html#unique-entry-id-102http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/1cc66ed7dabd0b59f11c20756a201c52-102.html#unique-entry-id-102Douglas AalsethHome Page2012-12-09T14:20:55-08:00http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/077afcd6ef1d1577bd92bb3ed196dd81-101.html#unique-entry-id-101http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/077afcd6ef1d1577bd92bb3ed196dd81-101.html#unique-entry-id-101Douglas AalsethHome Page2012-12-02T14:18:31-08:00http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/d6aa5dfa87c068a92a3d5c1166120515-100.html#unique-entry-id-100http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/d6aa5dfa87c068a92a3d5c1166120515-100.html#unique-entry-id-100Douglas AalsethHome Page2012-11-25T04:52:15-08:00http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/19702cc4e524c5afd9992b22aab58581-99.html#unique-entry-id-99http://douglas.aalseth.net/blog-2/blog-4/files/19702cc4e524c5afd9992b22aab58581-99.html#unique-entry-id-99 Then a tour bus full of senior citizens skidded trying to stop and ran into it.
