You know what I miss about the NHL? Massive two team trades in the 80s and 90s where teams were just like "hey, do you want to swap 1/4 of the top of your roster with us for some reason?".
The Doug Gilmour (CGY->TOR) and Eric Lindros (QUE->PHI) trades are particularly fun to read.

The solution to the Fredericton bridge problem is simple:
A launcher (called the Car-a-Pult™) is installed along the river on each side. You pull your vehicle in and it is launched across the river where a giant circus net catches you. Then, a crane gently lifts you out and places you on the road.

The soundtrack from the movie "Josie and the Pussycats" is easily one of my favourite albums. Those songs can really get me hyped to get something done or ready for a big meeting.

I bought a pasta maker and this is either going to be the best decision I ever made, or the worst.
So far, I've made spaghetti, macaroni and rice noodles. And while it's probably much more convenient to just buy them at the store and boil, there's something magical about making them yourself.
