3 non-mountain pictures? Wha?!
It hasn't snowed at all lately. An inch here or there on the hill, but nothing to speak of down here in town. It's also been unsually mild, which is an odd occurence after near-record lows through November and December. Forecast has some double-digit minuses towards the end of the week though, so maybe things will get back to normal around here. Need a good dump of snow big time!
Sorry to the non-music folks that read this, but I had to post it for those who are musically inclined. AS you know, I teach music history on Friday evenings - RCM Grade 3. We had our post-christmas review class this past week and one of the things i did was put on the 1st movement of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and told them to, as a group, put sonata form on paper. They could diagram, draw, write, or anything they wanted. Here's what they came up with:
Sorry for the quality there.
As for the other 2 promised pictures, they unfortunately have to do with last week's post. I was browsing news sites, as I often do at work, and found the same information on both sites. The bias is unmistakable
Site 1:
Site 2:
The first shot is from the CBC webpage. It's got a huge focus on data and I can't even begin to speculate about how they ordered the candidates at the bottom. It seems entirely random to me. Here's a question though: by this photo, who is winning? Who is most important? Heck I don't know.
The second shot is from the CNN webpage (yea, CNN). First of all, where are all the candidates? Guess about 1/2 of them didn't even make the cut. Secondly, did you notice that Mike Huckabee looks confused, John McCain looks old, and Mitt Romney looks like a paragon of human virtue?
I promise this is my last politically involved post, at least for a long while. I just had to show this as it relates to something I spent a good while posting about last week. Next time we'll be back to your regularly scheduled mountain and snow pictures and news about life in good ol' Banff
