Today is the 4th blogiversary of Eclecticblogs.
In 2004, after many months of  cajoling by Mack, I decided to start my blog. While I am not the 6 or 7 (or more) times a week poster like Mack, I post when I feel like it and when I think I have something interesting to [...]

Are all Department of Motor Vehicles as difficult as the GNWT’s. I have never had such problems.

There is one big problem when you are sick. You feel like shit and don’t want to do anything. Including the blog.
Well that has been me the last week. I started feeling bad last Wednesday and I still don’t feel 100% today. 8 days. This must be the longest time that I have ever [...]
