flags of the world.

Cleaning up some areas of a website at work, I was going through the flags of the world - most of them are not very interesting but I found these that caught my eye:
I just realized that all of these flags are from islands... weird.

Wales - I like the dragon.

Navassa Island - I like the lighthouse and the plain colors. It sums up the island quite nicely.



Here's what wikipedia says about the flag:

The unofficial flag of Navassa Island was designed for and first flown at a World War II memorial tribute at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 2001. It is a white and blue horizontal bicolor, with a profile of the island (and its landmark lighthouse, with exaggerated size) in the white band.

The United States and Haiti both claim Navassa Island. Thus the official flag, if used on uninhabited Navassa, is similarly disputed; it's either the flag of the United States or the flag of Haiti.

Isle of Man - Quocunque Jeceris Stabit (Latin)
"Whithersoever you throw it, it will stand"

Midway Islands - I really like the seagull.

Gibraltar - It's the key!

snow

Aye, the weather's turning. I don't know how cartilage works, but my ankle is achy so that means that it's gonna snow.

A few years ago, my ankle was very badly sprained whilst playing soccer - it was a little gnarly. Let's just say that it took quite awhile to heal. I even used Leong's magic Dit Da Jow that a coworker gave me (it didn't magically heal the ankle. :( ).

But it gave me a superpower - I can now be more accurate than 10 weatherpersons with doppler radar. It's gonna snow mighty powerful soon.

Aye, my ankle aches.

curling.

So it's time to start curling. Let's do it. The Granite Curling Club has some crazy hours but they're open on Saturdays for tournaments.

Here's a couple of movies to get your curl on:
