Remembering the Voyageur Restaurant in Moose Jaw

This is the actual Voyageur restaurant I went to as a kid with my family. It was just outside of the city at the time and is now R&S Family Restaurant. We tended to only go there for breakfast when on our way to Regina, Yourkton or some other place out of town. I remember fondly the creamers that looked like a cow (below) and that there was puzzles with pegs you had to jump the pegs and clear all but the odd colored peg to win. I may be romanticizing it as we often do with memories of our youth in our old age, but I recall a great feeling of belonging and just plane joy at being there. The place has actually changed a lot over the years in how it looks but the unique ceiling they had in it is still the same. It has changed hands many times over the years, but the new owners seem to be making a go of it to say the least, and there is talk of a second location opening. It was such a simpler time, and I did not have a worry in the world. I know I took photos of R&S but I can't find them in my archive, so I can't show you the way it looks now.
These are exactly the same as the "Moo Cow" creamers, with just a different thing printed on them. They are however not as I remember for some reason. I honestly thought it was more like an actual cow shape, not just the head of a cow. I really do wish I had one. I did however purchase both kinds of the puzzles, the triangle one and the cross shaped one. I recall my brother not being able to do them when I was able to and he always seemed a bit annoyed that I could do it, and that it did not take me long to figure it out.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
