Blog Guelph: Bright (for now)
Well call me a big baby, or even dull for that matter, because all I have for you is another weather report with accompanying visual materials.
Is it mild and wet or cold and windy as hell? Depends on the hour you ask this weather girl...seems we're in for another round of Mother Nature's schizophrenic ferocity today.
As we used to say on the farm, "weather's comin', weather's comin..."
(Truth be told, I never grew up on a farm, and weather, in some shape or form, is always a comin')
So beginning with Photocbear, witness the beauty of the sky as it appears right now on this , the last day of January - all sunny and lovely - then peruse 4 more pics to see what's in store...and what to do when it's all over with.
Hang tough,
-Downtown Lynn-
P.S. OH, and big congratulations to our dear Sue Richards for hosting this spectacular bit of Blog-liness more than 2000 times! Gimme an S - U - E! Yay Sue!

Here's the skinny on today's outrageous weather.
Even though it's only minus 11 C, it feels like minus 22 C.
Why is that you might wonder?
Well....Guelph is sporting a 43km/h south westerly with gusts of up to 59km/h.
Hang onto your hats boys and girls. We really do have a wind warning in effect.

Blog Guelph: Turn Right For Yellow
Okay.
Yesterday Downtown Lynn reported on Blue Monday - apparently the most depressing day of the year. Sadly dear readers, the grimness doesn't end there. I've since learned that this entire week has been painted with the same bleak brush.
Well screw that I say.
Today we're going to turn this hum and bug ship away from the blues and into a sea of yellow fun, sun, flowers, song and love love love.
Fasten your seat belts and let mellow yellow take you for a spin down the yellow brick road in a big yellow taxi.

'Blue Monday' the most depressing day of the year
But that was yesterday.
Here's the cbc.ca lowdown:
With the TSX plunging more than 500 points on Monday morning, more than a few Canadians might give credence to a British psychologist's pseudo-scientific formula that indicates Jan. 21 will be the most depressing day of 2008.

At the behest of the British travel industry, Arnall devised a "Blue Monday" formula that calculates factors such as weather, debt, time passed since Christmas, failed New Year's resolutions, low motivation and the need to take action."

* Exercise outdoors during daylight hours.
* If indoors, exercise by a window.
* Build activity into your lifestyle, for example, by taking the stairs or public transit and walking part of the way to work.

To kick start things today, I've been given permission by the Empress of Blog herself (Siouxsie Q) to post a Not-Guelph item.
This little video made me chuckle and has set me off in an even giddier mood than I had originally begun the day with.
So, despite the fact that this is a dreary January day, I bestow outright silliness on you all.

The apex of both week and month is upon us. May it rest lightly.
The five six post series for this auspicious day is all about emergency food and meals for at risk youth and families in need within the Guelph community. The information was provided by Ed Pickersgill from the newly formed Guelph Food Security Network located at 150 Wyndham Street or in cyberland on Facebook. Sarah Ferber from the CSA provided the University of Guelph foodbank info.
Perhaps your own abundance will motivate you to lend a hand.

Good Tuesday Folks,
Today is another hodgepodge of photos inspired by the release of the Guelph Civic League's 2007 City Council Voting record.
Look closely at the breakdown of issues and who stood for what.
We can (should?) assume that each Councilor would have an understanding of city-wide matters regardless of the wards they represent.
We can only hope they represent their constituents well.
It may be enlightening for you, dear readers, to note where some stand on the issues that directly impact their ward.
