Well we all know by know that we're in a pandemic. We can't go anywhere, there's not much to do, and if you do something (even if it's safe or to stimulate the economy or an approved activity) you'll probably still be chastised for it. I've seen a lot of people on my social media…
If you were going to take a stand any year, it had to be 2020. There were so many things that I get I had to take a hard stance on. And I tried to, but at the same time it gives me a lot of anxiety. Because not everyone’s going to agree with you…
2020 has been a not-so-great year, but I teamed up with some blogger buddies to bring you some silver linings of this year! Hopefully if we go into the New Year with a bright side mentality, good things will come. Bill — A Silly Place We like Canada and we like trains. Passions have surely…
