If you’ve ever wondered what the view is careening down a snow-driven slope with total lack of control, first chasing after a snowmobile and then being chased by one, glad tidings! You’ll never have to try it yourself for reference, thank to one terribly unfortunate Frenchman with a helmet cam.
Friendly tip: when you think it’s over, it’s only just getting started.
This is Smokey. He and his owner live on the streets of Vancouver. He is probably the Canucks biggest feline fan. They are both there, outside the arena at each game, sporting their blue and green asking for a little spare change. We stopped and chatted with them at the parade today. Both of them are super nice and deserving of a little humanity.
So apparently the Zodiac signs have changed their start and end dates. Which means that while I’ve always believed I’m a Cancer, I’m actually now a Gemini. What hasn’t changed is that I don’t really believe in Astrology. But hey, it’s still fun to read your horoscope right?
So just for fun, here’s what I used to be and what I am now.
The OLD me, Cancer

maternal, domestic and love to nurture others
prize family history and love communal activities
wear their heart on their sleeve
quick to retreat into their shells if it suits their mood
difficulty in sharing their innermost feelings
first to laugh and first to cry
tenacious and strong-willed and like to get their way
they’re not above using emotional manipulation to make things happen
ultimately motivated by protecting their home and loved ones
maternal instincts and desire to protect home and hearth
can cry you a river if they’re so inclined, and they usually are
