The Summer Choices of Disc Golf

This summer, instead of signing up for every tournament possible and travelling all over the Province to play Disc Golf, I’ve decided this summer I would aim at improving my overall skills by playing in a competitive men’s league here in the City and if any local tournaments are accessible within an hours drive of home. Then I would play in those as well. SEASON IMPROVEMENTS Part of my…

Sometimes, my aimless countryside driving adventures lead me to the world's largest objects. The Pysanka is a commemorative Ukrainian egg, and it was built in 1978 to commemorate a visit by the Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. . . . #travelalberta #drivetime #explore #worldslargest #vegreville #pysanka #history #saturday #adventure #architecture #solotravel #roadtrip #daytrip #zizuoptics (at Vegreville Pysanka Egg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_jBbOr-K4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Grain mills along Alberta's secondary highways and railroads have always amazed me with both history and architecture. Found this one southeast of Tofield built for Killearn Farms Ltd., and stands tall between the Canadian Railway and Highway 14. . . . #architecture #grainmill #farming #alberta #travelalberta #drive #killearnfarmsltd #canadianrailway #tofieldalberta #shonts #history (at Tofield, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-8Bqlvves/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Are You Willing To Sell Your Tacoma?

Nearly every weekday after work, I drive past a slew of car dealerships on my way home. There is a Honda dealer which seemingly has a parking lot full of cars, however most of those vehicles are domestic (Jeep, Ford, Dodge) and not actual Honda vehicles: CRV, Pilot, Ridgeline and others. Then there is the Jeep/Dodge dealership which seems like its never shrunk in the number of vehicles on the…

What is the Better Housing Option; Renting or Owning?

Unbelievably it’s been two years since the wife and I made the decision to search for a home to purchase. Our original house hunting began back in 2018 which ended after viewing what felt like fifty-two different dwellings in six-weeks without putting down the deposit. Oh there were a couple of properties that caught our attention like the very first one which was fully renovated and ended up in…

Artificial Intelligence, How It May Change Your Life?

Earlier this week whilst at work a colleague asked if I had heard about an interesting new software called OpenAI. Basically it’s an artificial intelligence platform where you type in keywords or a sentence or description and the AI will generate before you either text or images. Its capabilities are endless and yet oddly fascinating that technology is opening up entirely new streams of…

Addendum 1 to 19 Days and Counting Down

On February 1, we wrote the article “19 days and counting down” about how we are jumping OUT of our blog space and domain called Distracted in Alberta because the organic searches and a realization that we may have jumped into the wrong pond has occurred. 19 Days and Counting Down… About half way down in the article James wrote; “We’ve not decided if we will go back to a title.wordpress.com or…

19 Days and Counting Down...

In nineteen days Distracted in Alberta will have reached 365 days of being active on the internet and what have we learnt during those three-hundred and sixty-five days? The first thing we’ve learnt is although you, yourself might really like the title of your site, its not always taken by the audience in the same regards. Mostly we’ve learnt that anything regarded as “distracted” is usually…
