ohh nooo

so today i'm sending you to a new site because i'm no longer able to post from my mac or from my company network because somehow this blog has been blocked as spam and objectionable.

i've exported all my hard work to a new site (for now):

see you there...

Great Place to Walk a Dog

Gotta love this place. Dog loves it, anyway.

Wide Load

On my long and terrible commute the other night, I saw this truck, and already feeling a bit down-in-the-dumps, saw the sign on the back of it, Extra Wide, and thought of myself.

Snoozing to Animal Planet

This is what my dog was sleeping to. In reality, it's my husband who should be watching these dog-training shows. It's all old hat to my dog (see pic below).

Ahhhhhhh

Ahhhh to be able to sleep like this. Our german shepherd Max sure has it nailed.

Old Growth

So my cousin does a regular jaunt from the San Francisco Bay area up in to the Sierras. She sent me this picture from her iPhone and says that these are her favourite trees. I can see why! They are fantastic. I've done that route with her before but I don't remember them at all...must've been yakking...

If The Shoe Fits

Friend was in town shopping for daughter's prom and daughter was in another town in school...Friend would fire off cellphone pics and daughter would respond. I vote for these shoes but apparently the clerk in the store was less than pleasant when she discovered images of the shops' wares were being fired through the ether.

Sheep

These are some local sheep, the ones that are guarded by the dog I posted a pic of, a week or so ago.

Honey of a Job

Another one of those twisted things that tickles my funny bone. This is a porta-potty that has "Hogan's" stamped on the side - presumably, the company that supplies them to construction sites in the area.

Well, it seems to me that outhouses and their ilk are sometimes called Honey Wagons. And Hogan's is the largest beekeeper in this part of the province. And if they supply outhouses to construction sites as well, well, that's just plain funny IMHO.

The Most Crowded Place in Toronto

My job requires that I go to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto on a more-or-less regular basis and the sheer number of people in there can be extraordinary. Terrible, in the summer. But this particular day last week wasn't too bad.

Feral Cats

Woke up one morning last week to find these critters snuggled in behind my hedgehog bootscraper.

Should they adopt us for good, we thought we'd better come up with names and as Deliverance-like as possible, given the area we live in. An enterprising friend suggested Daryl and Daryl, which we thought was a hoot - and even funnier when we later saw them with a third kitten, hiding under the neighbours' lilac bush. So now we have Larry, Daryl and Daryl.

Driving in Southern California

I've been asking friends and family with iPhones to send me pics of their journeys - hence the Skye photos, and the Taiwan chicken heart one etc.

Yesterday, my cousin had to do a road trip in California and sent me this photo of the I5, heading north towards the San Francisco area. Sure beats my commute, but I guess if I had to do it a couple of times a week, I'd soon be calling the I5 my highway from hell, just as I do the 401.

Factory Fire

Sad news the other day when a nearby factory burned. I could think only of the people who lost their jobs.

Midges

These are midges (or as a German friend seems to call them, midgets - as in, "OMG there are midgets in my car"). Very annoying. The only time you really see them is in swarms, which means there is midge sex going on right in your eyes, mouth and hair.

China

This is a popular coffee shop in Doumen, China - Mode Coffee; picture sent by intrepid-iPhone-reporter colleagues. It's close to factories and has good food. I've never been, but may go one day!
