Not a proper music video, just the song streamed on Youtube. This song is a happy funky jam.

Over the weekend a cow washed up on the shores of Victoria and typical, it took no less than three levels of government to deal with the situation,
Cow Washes Up on Victoria Beach
My favourite line from the story:
“It was originally thought to be a dead horse, but once the officers got there they were able to determine it was a cow,” said Victoria police acting Sgt. Jamie McRae Sunday.
Well done city.
Have a Listen: The Zone Afternoon Show Talks About the Beached Cow and an Exploding Whale!
Now this isn’t the first time something bizarre has washed up on our fair beach. Zoner Liz sent me some pictures from a six-gilled shark!
Hey guys,
You were talking about how they don’t know what to do with the dead cow that got washed up at Clover Point. I have a suggestion: http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/destroyed-in-seconds-beached-whale-explosion.html
It’s a matter of precedent since apparently that’s how they dispose of washed up whales.
Incidentally, around this time last year a dead six-gill shark was washed up at Mile Zero (near Clover Point). We took it back to the dive shop at Ogden Point and it sat our dunk tank until the UVic biology department got it a week later. Here are some pics for shits and giggles of it. I wonder what will get washed up next year? A dinosaur?
Later,
Liz
Some Zoners thought it might be a good idea to blow the thing up like they tried to do to a whale in Oregon back in the olden days. Hilarity ensues.
Go with yourself.

Called up the Flamingo today… turns out we had players club cards from our stay there last year. turns out they were willing to crush Mandalay Bay’s already fantastic rate. said they might even do better and to check back next month… so Flamingo it is.
Coral will now get ready on invites. She ordered a stamp and I think it has arrived or will soon.
The scoop is, you can feel confident in booking now if you like.
Coral and Jeremy (me) are getting married on October 11th at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. Coral and I are staying and booked at the Flamingo now, October 8th thru to 15th.
You can call anytime you like and book, they just take your credit card and charge the first night, the balance is due when you arrive. For me, the charge was $50.
Next up will be saving a bit more money and booking our flights. Right now the plan is to fly WestJet and fly direct from Victoria, however I am going to explore a flight from Bellingham as well as I have heard sometimes the deal is so good, its worth the ferry ride. Vancouver friends and family might really consider Bellingham as well.

Coral and I have always liked Mandalay Bay as our first choice of hotels for our Vegas wedding. Vancityrockergirl had her reception there and it was pretty swank. However, when we were looking at costs, the price was prohibitive until today.
Vancityrockgirl found a price for Mandalay that puts it in the strike zone. $119 for the weekend nights and $69 for the weeknights! Insane. She must have some kind of code or wizardry to get that price.
so whats that? $583 for a week in Vegas for Coral and I? Do you think I could put the screws to Mandalay Bay and get two rooms for an even $1,000?
Needless to say, armed with this knowledge, I’ll need Flamingo to play ball if they want to be the vortex for the wedding. Still getting married at Flamingo, but stay at Mandalay Bay?

This ad caught my eye… I have no idea if its any good, but it looks pretty (and costs more than I think I could sell me kidney for… why? do you know someone buying a kidney?).

Yesterday on the ZAS I had the chance to chit-chat with Farmer Dave of Madrona Farm.
Chit Chat: Interview w/ Farmer Dave on the ZAS
Madrona Farm is an organic vegetable farm just 15 or so minutes out of Victoria. This beautiful land is part of our collective natural heritage and an important contributor to our food security. However, due to increasing demands for property and living space in the Capital Region, it is increasingly difficult to grow food for our community within our city. Farmer Dave and his family are working with the Land Conservancy of British Columbia to raise funds to purchase the farm and protect it as farm land.

<!– –>Disclosure: I love Farmer Dave because he rocks the Zone!
