Ranger, the Lab,  is all smiles after kisses from Valentine, the cat!

This video is shot from the International space station and shows Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick at night.
The crew of Expedition 30 flew from northern Mexico to New Brunswick on Jan. 30. The Great Lakes are clearly visible ( about :27 sec in) and make it easy to pick out cities like Detroit/Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. It is shot from about 200 miles above Earth.

No wonder the Americans have financial problems!

Guess they thought they’d never run out of money!!!

When NASA first planned to send up astronauts,
they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not
work in zero gravity.

To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade
and $1.2 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity,
upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including
glass, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing
to +300C.

Confronted with the same problem, Canadians used a pencil!

If the next generation is going to appreciate country music you have to start ‘em young. 9 month old twins Reece and Levi get a work out to Johnny Cash. Enjoy!

Actually, a big milk truck got stuck in the snow in Central Pennsylvania. A draft horse team came to the rescue. (Watch for the mouse crossing in front of the horses approx. :21 seconds in.)

Chicago’s Patrick Kane dons his cape and Clark Kent glasses to score a spectacular goal at the NHL’s
Skills Competition, a part of All Star weekend in Ottawa.

Enjoy the All Star Game!

The ever popular American Idol show is back for another season. So far, contestants have been auditioning across the U.S. One such prospect is Jane Carrey, who happens to be the daughter of actor/comedian Jim Carrey.  Jim was born in Newmarket, Ont., so I’m sure Jane’s progress will be followed with great interest from Canadian viewers.  If you missed her audition, here it is!

Welcome to my blog. This is my very first posting. Hopefully, it won’t take me long to catch on to this. I’ll be posting items, I hope will be of interest to you, from the world of entertainment, sports, general interest, and ,of course, country music!
This is all new technology for me, but I’m really looking forward to it!
Again, welcome to Brian’s Blog. Enjoy it! and have a great day!
