Camel Back...

Want a good way to feed incredibly sore, well I think you'd be hard pressed not feel something after the steep climb that exists on the Camel Back trail. The upside to all of it is that exercise is always good, so feeling sore, in a way is good too. Plus it's always nice seeing a good view, have a nice strong wind blow against you and to see just a little bit of wildlife.
More importantly the release for the wii of Street Fighter 2 has occurred. This is one of the classic games that people still play today and refer to as the best fighting game made to this day. Personally I'd have to say that they're wrong and that Tekken surpassed it in excellence. The other truly great game to be released recently has to be super mario brothers IMHO. The game makes me realize how strangely well adapted I've become to the modern type of 3D video game, whilst my platforming skills weren't able to get me past level three on the first world. Hopefully such abilities won't be lost on me, and they'll quickly be recovered as skills, much like riding a bike. :-)

Cool Hat

Traveling is something that I think should be experienced. Finding something that looks as curious as this at Wee Jasper, reminds me of the many oddities that you tend to see at country pubs that just don't seem available within a the sanitized, franchised stores that invade any city. With diversity and new things always sparking a person's interest, it seems strange that the world moves towards a single generic view of everything.
Probably complete nonsense what I just typed, but never mind. Still a rather interesting item and considering the need to travel around 10 km on a dirt road, you'd better like stuffed animals wearing hats.
