Places From My Youth Part 3: The Snow Hut

I swear to God I thought I had a photo of the Snow Hut, but I don't, so here is my Brother and I on our swing set.

The Snow Hut on South Hill is an icon to this day in Moose Jaw. We went there after a meal of chicken in the park or burgers elsewhere almost every time.

I always got Tiger Tiger. Mom always got strawberry, my Brother always got chocolate and Dad always got cherry.

The place also had a car wash and a laundromat and a convenience store.

I've not been there in probably 15 years, but it's still going strong. After I started to drive I went there myself many times for a cone or to buy a magazine only they sold.

Some times I'd get a cone and go watch the sun set just outside of town. It would be a great end to the day.

The Struggle Is Real?

Image
I just saw a video of a person saying, "The struggle is real." about their income and the price of food and gas. Here's the deal, the guy has 6 Tomahawk Steak on the BBQ. I priced them in Canada as he was Canadian. They range from $97.00 to $279.95 each steak. Say he's got the least expensive version. This is $582 of meat for one meal for his family. I am alone, but I spend only a bit less than $200 a month of groceries, and have a couple of treats near the start of the month - so lets say $250.00 His one round of meat for one meal is 2.328 X more than my entire month of eating. The stores in my city don't sell these steaks as no one here has the ability to get them on average, so they don't sell. You can however get frozen lobster if you like. It's a lot, but not $97.00. I miss seeing the lives lobsters in the tank at superstore - they don't have that now. It's been a long time in fact. Again, no one was buying them after the 1990's started. I...

John, The Book of Revelation, and Mushrooms

Image
Where the book of Revelation of written has a lot to do with it's context it may seem. Definitely the reason why John was on this island had an influence in his vision of the future. It also echoes other parts of the bible. I'm here today to talk about the mushrooms on said island and the idea of spirituality and the magic mushroom. "John wrote the Book of Revelation while he was on the island of Patmos, an Aegean island where he was exiled due to anti-Christian persecution under the Roman emperor Domitian. This location is widely accepted among biblical historians and is significant in the context of the text." - Bible Probe Here is a blog post from the actual people who take care of this island and the fact that John may have eaten magic mushrooms. Now for the sake of this blog, I'm going to assume that he consumed the mushrooms. I'm also going to look at my own belief in the Christian Bible in a light that some Christians won't find in good taste at al...

July Blogging Challenge Day 28

Is your favorite attribute about yourself physical or non-physical? Non-physical. I am rather fond of my ability to think better than average. I hate to say it, but I think the average person these days has no idea how to correctly process and discern information. They just believe what ever is told them for the most part. As for problem solving, forget it for most people under 40 these days it seems. Yes some young folk are totally on the ball and can think properly, but most, not so much. It also seems that a lot of people in my generation have just stopped thinking and just go with whatever is fed them from the sources they prefer - be it complete bull shit and obviously fake as hell, or not. Thought is not important to the average person anymore. They rely on being told everything.
