Grant Village Campground – Yellowstone National Park – review

January 17, 2023 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

It’s oddly comforting to learn that naivety can still strike on the backside of middle age. Case in point, this here review of Grant Village Campground in Yellowstone National Park. My only campground review for all off Yellowstone, home to twelve. That latter fact was not my intention. Not by a long shot. Sure, going […]

Grand Canyon Caverns – Everything to Know

April 30, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I used to love driving.  The longer the drive, the better.  The first time I drove out west, I made the 3700 km trek from St. Jacobs, Ontario to Chateau Lake Louise (Alberta) in two and a half days.  By myself.  Without cruise control.  The muscles in my accelerator foot hurt like hell by the […]

My Life Is A Song #106

September 7, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

If you’ve followed this series, you know country music is my guilty pleasure.  And by country music I mean classic country, not the twangy pop rock that passes for country music nowadays.  The good, old stuff, mostly from the seventies, with a bit of early eighties and late sixties tossed in for flavour.  It’s the […]

White People Are Embarrassing

October 17, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 3 Comments

As the American political spectacle unceasingly assaults our senses (hardly the best sales pitch for global proliferation of democracy) two suspected truths have been unquestionably confirmed.  One, the United States of America is the only nation on this planet whose national elections are followed with such intensity and self-interest by the rest of the world.  […]

Canada Has Lost Pride In Our Beers

March 28, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 11 Comments

Canadians have long taken excessive pride in our beer.  It’s a tenuous point of boasting considering the long, hallowed history brewing has in the Old World, not to mention that when Canadians crow about our beer it’s solely in comparison to American beer, a contest arguably on par with the last two finishers in an […]

The Invisible But Very Real Border Wall Between Canada and the USA

February 15, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 12 Comments

You crazy, paranoid Americans and your walls.  Always with the walls.  Usually you’re yapping semi-coherently about wanting one along the Mexican border, or more accurately finishing that one, but now some of the looniest in your midst, hello Republicans, have openly fantasized about erecting a wall along the Canadian border.  A 2015 survey found an […]
