It’s a grey day here in Venice CA, it kind of reminds me of Vancouver BC weather. Except that here, unlike Vancouver, there are no idiots rioting over a hockey game.

I’m all for a good bloodless riot, but aren’t there plenty of worthier things to get violently upset about?

There are children starving all over the world, you’re getting screwed by a global capitalist ponzi scheme, and your government is constantly lying to you. But these people decide to get upset because their sports team doesn’t get to take home the big metal cup?

We probably need to reexamine our priorities.

It was a nice surprise to be walking down a street in Venice Beach CA and see a large Vancouver Canucks sticker in a shop window. I don’t follow hockey much anymore, but having your home team in the Stanley Cup finals is still pretty cool.

It’s even better when it’s sunny and warm where you are and you’re walking around in flip-flop sandals.
