March 5, 2025

Deep thoughts, by Team Fergmeijer: Everyone should be getting into feng shui. Because sometimes when you’re having a bad day it’s nice to know it’s the credenza’s fault. If the airlines were smart, they would seat a dog every few rows and then charge extra to sit next to a dog. Do we want to pay for an upgrade - no. Do we want to pay for a PUPgrade? Absolutely! It appears that there exists a quantity of artificial butter flavour beyond which people begin to believe it’s not butter. This is known as the margarine of error. Have you ever pondered what the moon would look like if it were colonized? Probably something like M:O:O:N.

Many happy returns to Arthur H who is turning 29 this week. Choosing the best flavour for your birthday cake can be tricky. We suggest avoiding marble cake (it’s hard on the teeth). Happy birthday!


As winter swings into spring, there’s lots going on in Kagawong over the next few weeks!

What happens when a microscope crashes into a telescope? They kaleidoscope. Have a great week!
