    August 22, 2024. This is the wall of the Metro here in Casselman down by the highway. To me, it paints a picture of a society that has given up. No effort has been made to make it attractive or even not ugly. What really caught my eye was that there w...

    August 21, 2024. Coffee mugs and flasks on sale at the Starbucks near my office (by 'near' I mean 1.2 km - the NRC campus is a food and services desert). Longish day today with a thorough Research Ethics Board meeting in the afternoon. Since our force...

    August 20, 2024. Taken in the evening in low light using the long lens from in side my home office. I've been a bit off all day, maybe have a bit of a bug, or just didn't sleep right. Experimenting auto-posting this to Mastodon. I hope they appreciate...

    August 12, 2024. First day back in the office since before my bike ride and this is what I found. You may recall back in June I found a potato left on my desk had sprouted. I put it into some water and then in mid-July put it into some dirt. I gave it...

    August 11, 2024. The walking trail at Lavigne Natural Park near Bourget, where we tried to take our weekly hike today. The weather wasn't great and the trail conditions even worse so we called it after only half a kilometer or so. Nice pictures though...

    August 19, 2024
    August 9, 2024. A new Tim Hortons mug I bought on the Quebec trip to get my bike. The traditional Tim's mug has all but disappeared, so I was glad to find this. That's a CFL game on the screen in the background - I like the way they have one game a ni...

    August 8, 2024. The RedBlacks make their entrance into tonight's football game. It was a game not to be missed, as it went into overtime, we thought we won it, then we thought we lost it, and as we were on the way out the teams returned to play some m...

    August 5, 2024. This was taken at 1:30 a.m. as I sat waiting for my train in Rimouski, which would ultimately be an hour late. The plan was to leave it locked there at the train station and drive back and pick it up in a couple days. https://flic.kr/p...

    July 17, 2024. This is the latest photo of my self-starting potato in my office. I've given it some dirt and lots of water. I'll be away for a couple of weeks so who knows whether it will make it. But I'm giving it the best chance. https://flic.kr/p/2...

    July 13, 2024. This is the St. Lawrence River near the Long Sault parkway. It was a bright brilliant and very hot day today, and because people were driving so badly I decided to stick to off-road bicycle trails, so I went from the Lost Villages memor...

    July 12, 2024. We drove home from Tremblant today, sadly. But we were back early enough that I could get out for a short ride. This is a fenceline I see every time I do the St. Albert loop. https://flic.kr/p/2q41mQh

    July 9, 2024. A small pond reflects this dense forest along the P'tit Train du Nord trail near Mont Blanc. Woke up not feeling well, so I stayed in for a bit while Andrea started up the mountain. Felt well enough to do 40 km down the trail and back ea...
