Little girl draws a sketch of her missing dad and the news anchors had no idea that the sketch looked exactly like her actual dad when shown the update ….
😂😂I’m crying I’m laughing so hard.
Hey @WestJet - ultra basic fares sound like a great plan - until you don’t police people bringing bags on board taking up bin space and delaying flights because everyone is mad about having to check bags they paid for - and you flight attendants are being painfully rude as well.
Hey @CanadianTire your inventory system absolutely sucks. Two stores so far say you have multiple items and neither time has any - and the two people in line before me at automotive had the same issue for different items. Absolutely brutal - and staff have no answers….
@MDavid31_ @dgrenwich @groundworks Curious if they provided you with an itemized quote with pricing per line or just a lump sum. They seem to be ghosting me after I asked for a pricing breakdown…..
Hey @AirCanada - how bad are you guys? Plane in Newark delayed over and over again, then cancelled, then delayed again because of using the same aircraft that the mtce guys can’t seem to fix the bathroom alarm….. meanwhile holding people’s luggage hostage. Beyond brutal
John McEnroe schools Clare Balding on Novak Djokovic calling out the booing against him at Wimbledon (and throughout his career).
Clare Balding: “What would you say to him now?”
John McEnroe: “Well done.”
Novak Djokovic says tennis is endangered at the club level, ‘If we don’t do something about it globally, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle or pickleball’
“In terms of innovation in our sport… other than Slams, we have to figure out how to attract a young audience. Tennis on one hand is in a good place, but at the same time, when we look at Formula 1 for example and what they’ve done in terms of marketing, in terms of growth of the sport, in terms of the races around the world and how popular they are.. I think we need to do a better job on our respective tours. The grand slams are always gonna do well. But I think our tours need to do better. We are lucky to be very historic and a very global sport. But I think one of the studies that was done by PTPA 3 or 4 years ago showed that tennis is the 3rd or 4th most watched sport in the world along with cricket. Number 1 is football or soccer as you call it in the states. Second is basketball. Then it’s tennis and cricket. But tennis is number 9 or 10 on the list of all sports in terms of using its popularity, commercializing or capitalizing on that. I think there’s a huge space for growth. We’re quite fractioned as a sport. There are quite a bit of things for us to collectively look at and try to improve it. We need to grow the number of players that live from this sport. Very rarely do I see in the media that you guys are writing about the fact that you have only 350 to 400 players both men, women, singles, doubles across the board that live from this sport on this planet. That’s deeply concerning for me. Yes, we talk about the grand slam winner wins this or that. The focus is always on the grand prize but what about the base level? We’re still doing a very poor job there… very poor job. Tennis is a very global sport and it’s loved by millions of children that pick up a racquet that wanna play, but we don’t make it accessible. We don’t make it so affordable. Especially in countries like mine that doesn’t have a strong federation, that has Grand Slam or history or big budgets.. so I think collectively we all have to come together or create a new foundation, a corner stone of really what tennis is about.. which is the base level. The club level. Now we have paddle that is growing and emerging. People kind of have fun with it and say ‘Yeah but tennis is tennis. Tennis is the king or queen of all racquet sports.’ That’s true. But on a club level, tennis is endangered. If we don’t do something about it, globally or collectively, paddle, pickleball in the states, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle and pickleball. Because it’s more economical. You have one tennis court… you can build 3 paddle courts on one tennis court. Do the simple math. It’s just much more financially viable for the owner of the club to have those courts. These are some of the things I wanted to share. In the grand scheme of things, we need to address all these challenges and issues. Because they’ve been out there for a while. I don’t think we’ve been addressing it in the proper way.”

Hey @Albertaparks - curious as I’m watching SIX guys very slowly cleaning around a bench in Bebo Grove. Well three watching and three working. Not sure about the manpower allocation…..
A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:

- Yeah!
- What's your favorite band?
- Guns N' Roses
What happens next is incredible.
