Default On a lighter note.....

I was outside just now having a smoke.

I heard a sound that (quite literally) made me whoop.

Geese.

Spring is the time when one envies people who smoke. I'd like to be out there with a Marlboro listening to the geese, watching horses shed and deer gamboling. Instead I'm inside watching a portable toilet dangle from a crane 100' above the street and rather hoping it'll burst like bright blue seed pod.

They don't really gambol anyway, just spring into the road like unchained greyhounds. They're on a mission of death, they got no joie de vivre.

I'd normally agree but it is your saint's day and it's well after lunch where I am.

I remember seeing the big fat mallard ducks around Granville Island and wondering how they managed not to get stuffed into a shopping bag.
