I completely did not need this, but when have I needed anything?
Antique Candlestick Phone, no dial, because you just click on the receiver until the operator comes on and switchboard can patch you through...she'll know who you're trying to call.
Given that we pay the most of any civilized country for our telecommunications, this might be ONE way to make Telus work for it...
***Note - bad photo. Need to replace lens protector.

Spotted and photographed. I should be using my camera more, that said the lens-protectors have shattered and I'll need to replace...
Anyways, wondering what the heck with the butterflies - have you ever seen one that seemed to know where it was going? And yet they all still seem to get there just fine, just fine...
I know, some of them are probably moths...

Much like the habit of going to the gym, has largely dropped off due to the demands of work.
Yesterday, my sole day off after 7 in a row, town, coffee, laundry, meet a friend, go for lunch, walk, library, pay a bill, get another parking ticket, to Lakeside park to find shade and read my book, back to the library, read my book some more, (The Book of John Mandeville, curious, but I'll review that later), another friend for dinner, game of crib, killing time out of the heat of the day, my window doesn't roll completely down and the vehicle has become an oven...
Today, Kaslo, collecting the Kootenay Lake stickers for a friend, then to work, this weekend will be a madhouse, 4 days and then three in a row off, time enough to take the deathtrap up crystal mountain and see what I can uncover...
But not a lot of time for writing. The adventures will slowly percolate your way though, never fear...
