Wednesday, March 2, 2011 Away: Guelph and Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada The drive from Guelph north on Highway 6 always makes me feel like I’m heading up there to make my own clearing in the Queen’s Woods. Nellie McClung was born along this road. There are still two or three of what I take to […]

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada and Away: Guelph, Ontario, Canada My first trip of the year! Guilt: flying so far for such a short trip. Guilt: leaving home when I really shouldn’t. OK, that’s over with. The in-plane experience was OK, crowded but OK. Usually I’m lucky and get on flights that […]

Sunday, February 27, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada As the city limits expand, there are more opportunities for humans to move into the territory of the native wildlife. A couple of years ago I was driving around to the southwest of town and saw a cougar up close and personal. It was chasing a coyote. […]

Saturday, February 26, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada At the beginning of February, we look for the groundhog to foretell the winter and spring dividing line. If that doesn’t work, we watch the first of March. “In like a lion, out like a lamb.” I actually think that’s it, that’s the whole saying. But, in […]

Cars and cold don’t go together.
Took one in yesterday for servicing. It will take an extra day to fix, so I stayed home today. Nowhere I really needed to go.

Thursday, February 24, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Cold. Have I mentioned that before? But for cold weather, you can put on more clothes and stay inside. When it’s too hot, you can’t get away as easily. The shopping centers and office buildings have air conditioning, and some people have it in their homes, but […]

Tuesday, February 22, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada I took these pictures on an average day at the very tail end of rush hour. It was still busy (around 8:30 a.m.) but in Calgary the downtown workday starts at 8 o’clock. We were more into the school run and people like me doing their errands. The […] -

Monday, February 21, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada No kids at school today. Family Day, an Alberta holiday originally, because we needed something to relieve us in February.
