However Portlands a little more interesting I think,  they both take themselves very seriously about saving the planet etc. I should really say Kitsilano 20 years ago or so? Anyway this show Portlandia looks very funny and I think old Vancouverites will identify? </p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/22947760637http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/22947760637Sat, 12 May 2012 20:34:36 -0700<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gLLFPfk14UI?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>What you can do in ten days without planning…</p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/21988269993http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/21988269993Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:32:31 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2nji1qOzE1qz4ukuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.eyeem.com/p/361940" target="_blank"></a> by <a href="http://www.eyeem.com/u/12463" target="_blank">Paul3sheds</a> on <a href="http://www.eyeem.com" target="_blank">EyeEm</a></p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/21301888592http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/21301888592Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:44:23 -0700<a href="http://crosscut.com/2012/04/09/urban/22189/America-s-foolish-detour-into-shopping-malls/">Death of the shopping mall, Halelujah!</a>: <p>One of the worst ideas to come out of America, the Mall, What a disaster for both the landscape and society.<br/> Now is Facebook the mall of the internet?</p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/21171818893http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/21171818893Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:47:38 -0700<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/40000072" width="400" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Not sure why? , but this brought a tear of joy to my eye.

Luv this guy! Forget Jay Z or Tpain and that crap, here’s a young man, good student of the blues who can actually sing and play guitar. He actually reminds me a little of the late great Jeff Healey.

And it comes from China naturally, I think the days of innovation coming out of America are over and certainly not from Canada, Here on Bowen for twenty years we still can’t solve a simple parking pattern for loading our ferries. But back to China, what seems crazy turns out to be a pretty good Idea I think? We should implement this going from Coquitlam to UBC? But of course it will never happen with our bureaucracy. Anyway enjoy what could be and what will be in China. </span></p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20682602902http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20682602902Sat, 07 Apr 2012 17:29:27 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1zf0k7Z3C1qz4ukuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.eyeem.com/p/308466" target="_blank">Hanging out</a> by <a href="http://www.eyeem.com/s/user:12463" target="_blank">Paul3sheds</a> on <a href="http://www.eyeem.com" target="_blank">EyeEm</a></p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20499381342http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20499381342Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:05:07 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1zetnhb571qz4ukuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.eyeem.com/p/308458" target="_blank">Escaping</a> by <a href="http://www.eyeem.com/s/user:12463" target="_blank">Paul3sheds</a> on <a href="http://www.eyeem.com" target="_blank">EyeEm</a></p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20499093057http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20499093057Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:00:58 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1zemxRK8b1qz4ukuo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Going to the city on a beautiful day!</p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20498823464http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20498823464Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:56:57 -0700<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_RU8FktAnlU?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>What made America great!</p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20416290140http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20416290140Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:03:45 -0700<a href="http:// http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTWo9EfQ4Hc&feature=youtube_gdata_player ">Amazing woman!</a>: <p>Check out this 86 year old woman doing gymnastics!</p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20396166897http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20396166897Mon, 02 Apr 2012 22:27:58 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1vyu7dxxx1qz4ukuo1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p>From all things D</p>http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20393698544http://paul3sheds.tumblr.com/post/20393698544Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:22:55 -0700<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vDGrfhJH1P4?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>“I’ll huff and I’ll puff…”  Remember that little story we heard when we were young about the three little pigs?
