Thunder Bay – Monday

See any recyclable material in there?  It does not matter as its all going into the landfill. One of the treasures being uncovered as the snow melts. More treasure. Anyone remember the tv show Kids Bids?  That box would have been worth a lot of points. This fruit of this clothes hanger bush is ready … Read more

Apparently, it belongs in the centre of the street.  Might be tough to use though.  Another example of the mental level of this city’s knuckledragger population. Ice patterns Interesting.  Not sure how the process of melting snow … Read more

Thunder Bay – Saturday – First Day Of April

Not much of a sunrise this morning.  Might quit taking daily sunrise photos as the event is happening earlier and earlier every day.  Might be a day of decision.
