This sign appeared on the corner of Kam Lake Road and Finlayson Drive a couple weeks ago. It is uncertain who actually put up the sign but the d0-gooder, wants everyone to cheer up and embrace life.

The sign simply made from cardboard and the use of a permanent maker states:

Everyone is a flawed hero. We all have the potential to be nothing or everything. Never lose sight of what’s real and who you are. Peace.Love+Pineapples.

I did a Google search on the quote but came up empty-handed and then with the Signature line, Peace, Love and Pineapples. The only thing close I could find was a blog post with the same title, the post spoke about a story of a women who lost weight by a yoga exercise. I’m not sure if this mysterious cardboard sign has anything to do with that or not.

As I walked down main street at lunch time I ran into Snowbelle and a gang of volunteers who looked excited about the Snowking’s upcoming Winter Festival. Well, okay, maybe they were just cold. None-the-less they were however handing out schedules for the upcoming event, which kicks off this Sunday evening.  Today was their first day on the streets promoting the event, they will also be in front of the Canada Post building tomorrow (Feb 24) and Thursday. Along with getting a trusty schedule of festival goodness, you can also buy a seasonal pass to the festival, which takes place throughout March. Seasonal Passes are $20 for Adults & $10 for Children 12 & under. This pass will get you in the door everyday and reduces evening event prices by 50%.

When I asked if the rest of the crew was down at the castle putting in the long hours to have everything ready, I got a reassuring yes, with an ever so slight bit of sarcasm. I’m sure everything will be good to go for the opening Sunday evening, which I will have more details later in the week. Make sure you head over to the Canada Post building a lunch to get your schedule and pass. See you at the Castle.

Earlier today when I finished one job I proceeded out to my truck, which was parked on 47th St. While waiting for my truck to warm up a tab I noticed something I don’t often see anymore. Although not seen very often anymore in Yellowknife it was unsurprising to see.

It is a widely used mode of transportation to get around all across the north. It’s more popular in the smaller community across the north for daily transportation, none-the-less used as though a normal car, the snowmobile below was park in its own parking spot.

Keeping things lite and humorous I thought we could start a new segment here on YkOnline called Over Heard Around Town. Where anyone can submit random and funny things they over here throughout town. So I will start this week.

Wife: Here honey can you hold these, oh your not my husband!

Strange Man: No, but I could be.

Wife: Well, you look better than him.

Strange Man: Excellent

Husband: Dear I found us a seat.

At which point Strange Man turned around and walked away.
