Caught this on my morning canoe.

 

I built myself a blind. This was the first bird to stop in.

 

Ivan was born in Russia. His first job as a young man was cutting logs in the northern forests. The mosquitos plagued him. The work was brutal, but Ivan survived because he was a strong many and used to hardships. Then he went to the mines, slaving for hours in dim tunnels, moving tons of rocks. The air was foul and the heat was intense, but Ivan survived because he was a strong man and used to hardships. Finally, in search of cleaner air, he applied to the navy. On his first day, he was sent to the crows nest as a lookout. Sadly, a huge gust of wind knocked him from his perch and sent him tumbling to the deck, but Ivan survived because he was a strong man and used to hard ships.

 

Also, that the Sterling is the longest continuous use currency in the world.

 

Because fathers have Father's Day and mothers have Mother's Day and Labour Day.

As a northern Canadian, I kinda chuckle at the need for an air conditioner. Of course, my punishment in winter.

Great idea. I might copy it.

McArthur Park. I just don't get it.

Nice read. Thanks. One of my favourite pictures is of my wife sitting in the sun with a dragonfly resting on her nose.

It was about half a meter off the ground.

Yes. Lots of places I've encountered in Europe and Central and South America have a charge for the public toilets. We call them Johnny Cash.

I spent some time in Tokyo. They have public toilets that are absolutely amazing. And they're free. And they're throughout the city. What a novel idea.

While I applaud them, I don't think anyone is unbiased.

The early church was actually kinda communist, having all things in common.
