Day 190 – India Beer

India Beer

India Beer Bottle. circa 1968 – but I’m not 100% sure where I got that date from.

I refer you to this incredibly comprehensive site about the history of  Newfoundland Beer if you want to dig up information.

I had something else pre-prepped for today (my 2nd to last day of vacation, although technically the last as tomorrow is 11 hours of travel (after a 7 hour drive today) to return back to the west coast – why is Canada so big?) but decided to use this image instead. A bottle at one of my cousin’s – in an old house (~110 years) with the old wood and rope, it positively shouts “project Obso – pick me pick me”.

Day 36, Dominion Ale Stubby also featured a Newfoundland beer bottle.

My status: Steady (until tomorrow’s travels) internet access for the first time in a week. Still no cell reception though. I am no longer in a remote location it’s just that my service provider sucks.

The usual thanks to Richard, John and inspiring this for the untitled/alt-title nonsense. And to  Ben for the “jokes” format. Looking forward to catching up on everyone’s blogs in next little while (after I catch up on work!)

Day 189 – Beach Fossil

Still on vacation. Still very limited internet access. A fossil found on the beach serves as a nice project Obso substitute.

Happy Trails.

A childhood favourite. Clearly I didn’t get that memo about putting away childhood things…

My status: Pre-posting this for tomorrow. Using a windows machine to type this on a borrowed computer with a quick window of internet access time. The salt spray from the ocean is still on my hands.

Thanks as usual to John, Richard and Ben for the Alt-title stuff.

Day 186 – Woodstock

Woodstock

Woodstock. Snoopy’s good buddy, according to Wikipedia.

Perhaps he used to be able to stand up at some point. He might have gotten tired waiting for Snoopy to slay the Red Baron.

p.s. I have been offline for over 48 hours (!) If you knew me, you would know that is borderline miraculous. Hope to get back to all your blogs soon.
