Buster

Welcome to the Year of the Golden Pig.

Yesterday was Chinese New Year and this, my friends, is the Year of the Pig. In fact it's the year of the Golden Pig. I'm not exactly sure what makes this Piggish year golden but apparently it's a big deal in China.

In Vancouver, where the Asian community is large Barry and Gillis partook in the traditioal Chinese New Year tradition of watching Bob Weir sell his cheese. Elsewhere firecrackers scared the living shit out of people.

I did a little research and found out the I was born in the Year of the Tiger to which I say - SWEET!. Here's what it says about us Tigers "One of the most dynamic signs in the Chinese zodiac, Tigers are by turns fascinating, commanding, and exasperating. They are patient but short-tempered, calm but rebellious, petty but noble, fearsome but affectionate, free spirits but fiercely territorial. With their many & various personality traits, Tigers are also - not surprisingly - noted for a marked reluctance to make up their minds." Wow, that's pretty spot on, except for the fearsome bit.

Happy New Year!

Pace out.
