Paper View Monday: The Vancouver Sun and The Province

This week’s newspaper building as seen in Virtual Earth/Live Search Maps is home to The Vancouver Sun and The Province. Fact: Vancouver is in Canadaland, a foreign country, which makes this only the third edition of Paper View Monday to feature a newspaper outside the United States, which makes me very worldly.

I will now introduce you to Boxy the Snowman

boxy-the-snowman

I made this tonight. At work. It was late. Also, quite frankly, the refrigerators were just asking for it. Some suggested lyrics for the inevitable Christmas carol:

Boxy the Snowman
Was a jolly happy stack of soulless office equipment
With a pipe I’ve yet to make and an orange highlighter nose
And two perfectly round eyes drawn with a coffee mug

That’s just a start, obviously. Please feel free to add your own verses in the comments, or even just in your heart, as the spirit of Boxy the Snowman infects you this holiday season. Like a virus.

I will now bring you a glimpse inside The Burt Reynolds & Friends Museum

We finally visited The Burt Reynolds & Friends Museum down the street from our house in Jupiter, Florida this weekend. (See it on the map here.) Admission is only $5, which is a small price to pay for the legitimately fascinating journey, via photographs and mementos, through the career of a man who has appeared in at least 2,500 films.

I’m deeply sorry to report that I forgot my camera. A few items were just too amazing not to share here with you, loyal reader, so I did my best with the shoddy camera on my mobile phone.

This painting, obviously, was my wife’s favorite. Mine too, if I’m being completely honest. You can tell he really loves that dog. Shirts? Not so much.

There’s nothing I can say that will add to this picture, so just study and enjoy it.

Interested in visiting? Better move fast, because the museum’s days might be numbered.
