While in Mexico my daughter learned how to stilt.
You can see more stilting videos here http://adventurezinmexico.blogspot.mx/2013/01/who-let-birds-out-woot-woot-lol-d.html


Since we came home I have been looking for a way to make our stilts. Here is an excellent video by Dave Hanson at the Stilt Factory http://stiltfactory.com/how-to-make-your-own-wood-stilts/  I can't wait to get a pair made. Just need someone with the tools! :D

Just a Suggestion


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

So I've been thinking a lot about the riots, and while no one expected them, there should have been an alternative plan. What I'm saying is that in case the Canucks were to lose, and having the history of the 94' riots and possible rumors...why not diffuse the anger....with say comedy or music.

For example- When little kids(like 2 year olds) act up, for example, fighting over a toy...  what to good parents do...we distract them..

There should have been something in place to diffuse all the tension. Like a massive flash mob, or people on stilts and some crazy comedy suddenly tons of balloons could have been dropped from somewhere...some really crazy stuff that distracted all the attention away from the people who were so badly looking for attention.

This idea came from reading strange things, like that the truck that was set on fire was actually that man's own truck and he said he was going to set it on fire and he parked it in front of the TV station for that very purpose.

If everyone had been watching other entertaining things nobody would have watched him, or anyone else doing bad things and would have brought the focus back to good positive energy.


Like I said, we have a choice, LOVE OR FEAR.. WHICH DO YOU CHOSE?
Anyways, that is my suggestion, for the future...


Originally I was trying to convince everyone to meditate,  some may think that's wacky, but WOW, that would have been so cool, if everyone had, before and after, taken a few deep breaths and sent out some super positive energy.

I just wanted to share that.

Please watch these videos if you haven't already seen them. They are super powerful.
