    Tree

    by
    June 6, 2017. Some days it's just hard to take a photo, because I've been at home and in the office, and that's it. This is at the office. It's a tree. I do love trees, but I've already photographed this one. No matter. Good day, meeting in the morning...

    Golf Course Parking

    by
    June 5, 2017. Along Blair Rad between the 174 and Innes is this golf course. It's land that would be much nicer as a park. But rich people fence it and block people from accessing it. I hate golf. Good day today; after a month of preparaton I wrote my ...

    Under the Dome

    by
    June 4, 2017. Arrived early to get our Josh Donadson bobbleheads, then enjoyed the game as he hit a home run to win it in the 8th, and the drove home. Back in Casselman consoling cats who missed us so very much over two days.

    Brett Gardner tees up the first of what would be four home runs for the Yankees in the 8th inning off Jason Grilli. So it was a 7-0 loss for the Blue Jays.

    Supper

    by
    June 1, 2017. This is my usual supper: a piece of salmon on some mixed vegetables. To the veggies I've added chili pepper flakes and smokey paprika, and the fish is glazed with maple-pepper-chipotle. The salmon, btw, is farmed salmon, so it's sustainab...

    Geese

    by
    May 26, 2017. These geese were feasting on the NRC lawn as I left the office. People say geese are a nuisance, but these geese were eating dandelion seeds, whch sounds like a public service to me.

    Lilacs

    by
    May 22, 2017. We had to get a new lawn mower today because the old one has died and you can't live out here with a bad lawn. We'd be pariahs! That was about all I did this holiday Monday. Lilacs are at the side of our driveway.
