Thunder Bay – Thursday

Tiger Lillies

Early start this morning.  Trying to avoid the afternoon heat>

Red Bull gives you wings.

Tell me its a DSSAB building without telling me its a DSSAB building

Stipa Grass?

So many different wild plants.

Every day I see something new appearing

Meanwhile, the daisies are still going strong

Morning sky photo

Up and out early.  Nice morning. Started cool but warmed up fast.

Black-eyed Susans are now more common. Nice colour.

Whatever these are.  Early morning yellow is tough for may camera.  I have to be in just the right spot with the sun in the right spot and the plant facing in just the right direction.  I don’t have the patience for that.  That is why I will never be a freat photographer.  You need patience and be able to wait for that perfect time and place. Who has that kind of time?

Cruise ship in port this morning

The MV Octantis. It rund between here and Milwaukee.

The mistake on the lake today

A fly has found something interesting.

A few of these around. I think this rose bush gets a second round of blooms later on.

Nice clouds

Hard to point out any country where Communism worked.  Even the countries around today that are “Communist” are actually more of a dictatorship with some government-controlled private sector industry.

There are no ‘true communist’ countries.  As you remember from Orwell’s novel Animal Farm:

The pigs start to resemble humans, as they walk upright, carry whips, drink alcohol, and wear clothes. The Seven Commandments are abridged to just one phrase: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”. The maxim “Four legs good, two legs bad” is similarly changed to “Four legs good, two legs better”. 

Its what happens.  It always happens.  There is no such thing as all citizens being equal.  Some citizens will always be more equal than others.
