on the Grid - What is the Purpose of a Park?

Summer has arrived in Canada’s Okanagan valley, and with the warmer weather, people are venturing outside to enjoy the many parks in Kelowna. Among these is Mission Creek Regional Park and Greenway, arguably the most visited park in the city. It includes an educational centre, salmon spawning channel, picnic areas, and a playground. The greenway offers a lengthy trail system that traverses through several of Kelowna’s iconic landscapes.

Ten Thousand Views? Sure, why not!

And another milestone has been reached!

If you're a regular, thanks for caring enough to read my ramblings! And those of you just popping in, thanks for stopping by.

Because my top posts are pretty much exactly the same as when I hit 5K, let's take a look at how people are finding my little space on the internet.

Search terms for those top five posts obviously rank high:
  • molly millions, 152 hits
  • various combinations of russian firebird tattoo, 178 hits
  • true colors personality test, 139 hits
  • jonathan rhys meyers tudors, 34 hits
There are also some strange search terms that have led a couple people here. Terms like:
  • doing a research paper hours before its due, 2 hits
  • hide guns on body, 2 hits
  • english things tattoo, 2 hits
Curious.

Well, here's to another ten thousand page views! Thanks again!

Chillin' with the Ogopogo

It's summer! And, oddly enough, summer always tends to be a busy time of year for me. True, I do have plenty of time to fall asleep on the beach and become sunburnt, but I never fail to fill my schedule with other things. This time around? Work, beach volleyball league, blogging for the Grid, scoping out jobs for the fall and winter, and then whatever it is I do over on Protagonize. That will include the Summer Poetry Tournament, and then if I can get the Prose Competition off the ground that will be yet another hat to wear.

Definitely not complaining, though. I enjoy being busy, and being busy with work means the bills will get paid. Whoo! This whole "being an adult" thing isn't too different than what I was doing before, really. The only major difference I can identify so far is that I can't claim student benefits on anything. No student bus pass, no student price rate, no student bank account, no student internships. I'm just a regular person now. Whoo?

One thing will never change, though: I'll still ride any noble steeds I come across in my travels. Such as my buddy the Ogopogo up there. We talk on Twitter sometimes, we're cool like that.

Happy Canada Day!

It's Canada Day! Happy birthday to my favourite country, the true north strong and free. I'll be spending much of the day in downtown Victoria, watching the live music, sampling all the food, and then settling down for the evening fireworks. A great way to end my holiday weekend at home.


That's all I've got for this post. I may or may not have a Music Monday for you tomorrow, as I'll be on the road most of the day. One might appear in the evening, possibly a sample of the roadtrip soundtrack. Wish me safe travels!
