The 2020 quarantine had me doing a lot of 80s/90s video gaming (a hobby that has continued “post”-pandemic) — so here’s my list of my top 36 Playstation One (PS1) games that are still fun/worth spending time playing all these years later (in case anyone else is looking to get into a similar nostalgic distraction).
I am going to be giving myself a wee vacation from all of my self-assigned blogging duties for at least the next week or so (as my nieces are coming to visit and offline Uncle Mode™ will need to be activated).
“Hug your friends hello and goodbye. Life is super fragile and honestly pretty wasted in general. We should be spending a lot more time telling each other "I love You". Everyday there are people that change my life for the better and I want them to know that.”

If, like me, you happen to live in the charming little mountain town of Kimberley, British Columbia, the hot local topic lately has been the proposed ‘Marysville McDonalds’ — SO — not only does this post gather some extra info/context in one place, but City Councillor Sue Cairns also drops by for an informative 5-question Q&A!

In local mountown news: a proposal to change our communities zoning so a McDonalds Gas Station Car Wash development can go forward has been raising red flags in a lot of locals, so here is an ‘open letter’ that a local business owner recently shared with me after our in-person chat hit on the messaging around the Golden Arches (maybe) coming to town.
