Cheers to my friend Katherine Friedley who is about to
embark on a 10 day, 1000 km endurance horse race across Mongolia! She is the only
Canadian participant in this year’s Mongol Derby, billed as the longest
toughest horse race in the world. Her race name is ‘Outlaw Kate’ and she will
be riding for the race’s official charity MercyCorps Mongolia. For more
information about this incredible adventure (or making a donation) go to TheAdventurists Mongol Derby website or read Aleesha Harris’s Vancouver Sun interview.

a recent visit to Hornby Island BC.
One day driving along a busy highway in the Fraser Valley, I noticed a hastily scrawled sign that had been put up in a roadside pullout. NO SELLING ALOUD it dictated, conjuring up all kinds of amusing possibilities in my mind. Unfortunately, when we returned later with camera in hand, the sign had been removed. Somehow, it seems the perfect title for a blog that reflects on the junk business, consumer issues, family history, rants, stories and humour.
