'Lost' Ramblings
Bonnie and I just had our "weekend" that foolishly lies on monday and tuesday. Monday was one of those days that is really "neither here nor there" in terms of weather, and we wallowed it away in front of the TV, successfully watching probably the first 17 or 18 episodes of "Lost". We also successfully ate chocolate fondue, made a huge mess of the kitchen, and moved from the couch at least 3 times. Maybe 4.
Was a good day!!
I'm not usually one to talk about television, but "Lost" is good TV. Epsecially with no commericals and when you don't have to wait for the next episode. Rock on!
Today was exceptionally warm (as was yesterday, actually), and when I was walking to work I noticed something odd. Usually in spring/summer, you get those little white tree seed, pollen, floaties lazily drifting by all the time. I'm used to this. What I thought was incredible was the amount of them out here. It really gave some idea of what snow in 25-degree heat would look/feel like. I took a few pictures in an attempt to capture just how much was flying around, and this is the best one. That car means nothing. It's black. And owned by somebody I don't know. Hopefully the person driving it.
Yes. The picture is big. There are 2 reasons for this
#1 - I like it big. You don't have to open them in a new window to see all the detail. You should like it this size too
#2 - I don't know how to resize them and, while I suaully seek out new knowledge, this particularly bit of technical know-ho does not seem to be one that I am motivated to discover. Perhaps it has something to do with reason #1. So stuff it Jontan. When we got that divorce I meant it. You're not the boss of me anymore.
Anyway....
I've referenced the construction in town a few times now. Today I took some pictures. It's a pretty big deal around here and my work has been shaking on-and-off for at least a month now. Today they were doing some....banging...i guess...right outside the door here and I got so irritated with the noise I went up and closed it.
I'm also going to be sending some of you lucky folks some genuine "Banff Refreshing" squirrel buttons! Yes! We have buttons!! The town is giving them away to people for free as one of their many prorgrams to make Banff more cozy during the construction. Consider yourself extra-special if you score the McStiffy button! There are 5 to choose from so not everybody can be so lucky, unfortunately.
In any case, here is a picture taken each way from the main intersection in town. We're very close to them completely closing off this road. That should be even more fun!!!

Loved the summer snow, but the town looks terrible with the street all ripped up. It was so very beautiful, such a shame for the tourist season. Sounds like you had a nice day relaxing. Hi Bonnie

my dad left the top down on the miata and parked underneath one of the trees that vomited forth that very same summer snow... we learned a valuable lesson.
hi deb :-) did you get my e-mail?!
Ok Noah, we need some more news out here. Your London Mom and I like to know what you are doing. She asked me this weekend if you were still alive out there. I agree with Bonnie, those feet pictures have to go - makes one dizzy. But I like the size, sorry about the laptops.
love
mom
