Shots from the park across the street from where I am staying in Montreal.

Forgetfulness

I had something I wanted to write about, but have forgotten it completely now.

I do know I need to poach an egg in chili oil, though.

Lou Dobbs is quitting CNN, which is a goodness. Mind you, I expect they'll just find another conservative voice to put in his place.

Some random lists.

10 of the world's most bizarre laws

I actually don't think the Finnish law is bizarre at all - I think proportional fining is brilliant.

The carpooling law in Ontario is odd though (even the corrected version).

15 cool Google Earth finds

I do like the alphabet, the heart island, and the Badlands Guardian.

Meteor Watching party?

So the Leonid meteor shower is coming, and northbard is organizing a Toronto-based attempt to get some good viewing in.

Anyone in the Montreal area interested in doing the same?

It seems 3:30-5:30 AM on Nov. 17 is prime viewing here in eastern North America.

I would think we would have to get out of the city some to get away from the light, which would require some road trip planning.

Anyone crazy enough to try this with me?

I should probably stop putting these up given there are actual talented photographers like coraline and corbet (I'll stop at the "c"s *smile*) among my readers.

I've decided that my Veruca list for Yule will include lighting and a copy of Lightroom.

More from the park. Don't worry, I haven't reached the endless pictures of squirrels stalking me yet.
