Yet more Useless Stuff

Well, as usual, this is notworking properly. I took and then downloaded a whole bunch of new pix to my new computer with the brand new Window 7, but I can't download those new pictures into my blog.

It is extremely frustrating. Wasn't computing supposed to make your life easier rather than more difficult? Oh, but then what would all those employed techs do for a job? Just like auto and TV repair people.

So the person above is my son Evan, when he was a young kid and had barely a care in the world.

The couple above is an emu couple at a wild safari zoo. The most colourful and vibrant specimen, of course, is the colourful one on the left. He is a male. The one on the ground, doing little, is the female. Note her dullness.

What males won't do...


Take, for example, the silly photo shop job from above. This is a compilation, I belive of Donn and Andrea Pratt.


This above is part of my family having fun.

This above is a real live xray of my friend Donn's brain.

And this, of course. is me.

Yet More Stuff (also titled, is it Grey or Gray?)

Well, here it is again...MY BALCONY!!!!!! Above & Below are pictures of my two lounging chairs, which I might actually use if it ever warmed up more than say -3,000 C, which for you dense Americans stands for Celsius or Centigrade.
actually decide so they stuck us with both, which I know someone is going to correct me on. I walked outside today and it was grey, wet and about -300 degrees Celcius --or whatever. It was cold!

Here is the pool. You can see how well used it is today.

Here is the obviously well used barbecue machinery from a few apartments below.


Here are three sad plants from over winter. DOH!!
Here is the dull-looking greyness from beyond.

Or should that be, FROM the Great Beyond?



Oops! This shot is just upside down.

More Stuff

I have no idea what this post is about. It includes the laughable stupidity of the pic illustration above.

Plus also the contentment of me and my two kids below, who I took a few years ago to Caddy Lake in Ontario by invite of my brother Gerry and his wife Kim. We had a great time with them and their kids, Josh and Matthew.
I

It includes a dose of perspective, which I;m learning a lot about.

It has very little to do with anything, but here's a shot of a baboon attempting to hide in a wildlife park. Of course, it isn't wild inthe least; it's trained to beg for sustenance. So am I.
Here below is a pair of mating baboons. Note their happiness together.




This above is after me and Donn, that smuck, capsized my canoe at Wallace Lake many moons ago. We had been drinking, of course.

Stuff

These are just random photographs. Just like the song called Photograph, by Canadian band Nickelback. There is an Arnold Scharnegger joke around my family.

It's " I'll be Bach!" And I jokingly say it with an exaggerated German accent all the time. In truth, he's one of my fave characters in real life. My son and I always jke about it too while we're laughing at the innane humour of Family Guy.

We have such little minds. But we need simple Guy Humour to get us through the day. While my daughter tries to solve all the world's problems when she's not in the bathroom, Ev and I just laugh.

And solve all the weighty world problems, like go and watch THE Edmonton Trappers of some obscure baseball league I used to cover or the Winnipeg Goldeyes, which I also used to cover.

This above is my son, Evan, apparently contemplating the future of the planet -- or the equally important responsibility of solving all the world's problems.
With the assistance of the computer above and a baseball bat he can always use when he MUST resort to brute force, he will endure.

When that doesn't work, he can always have an afternoon nap.
And if THAT doesn't work, then he can revert to a child.
And if THAT doesn't work, he can simply become an Ibex and avoid the whole thing.
