Call me fickle. Suddenly, I'm thinkin' of perambulatin' my coyote butt out to Victoria. I mean, better climate, (only slightly polluted) ocean air, and - huge bonus - it'd remove me geographically from the stroke-inducing antics of the surfeit of lame idiots infesting City Hall and The Hill. So, healthy move all 'round.
Oh, and, and speaking of surfeits, BUNNIES! Did I mention BUNNIES? It seems the University of Victoria administration has some kinda problem with several thousand of the cute li'l guys. Says they're a clear and present danger. Seems they, ummm, dig holes, and stuff.
Now, where the hell did I put the hot sauce? Pretty sure I can help with all of that...

5.0 on the Richter scale, 1:41 P.M.
A noise like the cliché freight train, a lot of office towers doing The Log Drivers' Waltz, a few busted chimneys, one or two possible cracked foundations. No major injuries in Ottawa, except to our egos after the West Coast started collectively hooting at us for even noticing 5.0.
Although a guy fishing off of a bridge near the epicentre in Quebec, about 50 kilometres north of here, did have to drive himself to the ER after the bridge sorta dropped out from underneath him...

Whaaaaaat?
I just figured that, since Sun TV is gonna go all Foxic News North on us, it should have a classy new logo. The old one is as boring and dull as, ummm, the existing media that the new Putative Stun Channel hopes to thrash.
So, you know. Something restrained. Classy. Understated yet evocative. And with all the wit and public charm of its new, formerly pasty and now oddly-tanned executive guy, Kory Teneycke. Former Stephen Harper spokesthingy. Former Mike Harris backroom braintrust kid. Y'know?
But it wasn't easy. Endless concepts. Days of consultation with the Research Director. Multiple versions. Accusations of overthinking everything.
And locating a cuddly new mascot. You have no idea how hard it is to find a one-winged turkey vulture that can still, actually, you know, aviate in the solar wind...
