Now isn't that ironic

Did you know that the name of the president of Toyota is Mr Toyoda?  (Also, he is very sorry for being caught with his pants down - er, I mean, for the world finding out about all the quality issues with his cars.)

In other news, there is a new National Park scheduled to open in Labrador: "Mealy Mountains National Park".  That's kinda cool - at 11,000 sq km, it's bigger than Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks combined!  (That's really big.)  The funny thing is, that in the same breath, they both claim that it will go a long way to conserving and protecting this chuck of land, and it will also draw tourists from around the globe!  I'm thinking that drawing tourists from all over the place to tromp through the forests, and light fires, and leave their garbage behind isn't a very effective way to conserve the land -  but what do I know.  It's all about balance, right?

Also...

'Doghouse Diaries' is my new favourite comic strip
