Weekend in Toronto
Out for some interesting usability work, Toronto was more vibrant than I’d ever guess.

Victoria’s reputation as an pale substitute for Ye Olde England and a favored destination for traveling neophytes on package holidays had, unfortunately, biased me against traveling here. I’ve been finding Victoria, at least in the off-season, a delightful and relaxing weekend trip.
I recently picked up a new fixed lens for my camera, a standard 50 mm that on the digital gives a bit of zoom effect. I’ve not mentioned it before as I’ve not had either much time or much success shooting with it.
Sweet fresh snow, unexpected clear skies, and warm enough to take off my hat. Throw in good pals, new challenges, and being at Cypress Mountain and it’s easy to see why I suggested to everyone, “Let’s call in sick on Monday!”
Clifford Shand, bicycle racer rocked Nova Scotia’s cycling clubs with his pneumatic safety bike.
For the past several days, I’ve been following the rural route along the Minas Basin, home of the world’s largest tides, and have seen the tides come in and out, and in and out and in again.
By midnight, I had to leave the sweltering room for a bit of air. It only took one crack fiddler and the accompanying piano player to get the floor crowded with dancers.
Perhaps it was after Newfoundland, but it did not seem that difficult. So what it was raining, drizzling…that there were headwinds and the three Category 6 climbs on my loaded bike? I could do it again, backwards, riding a unicycle, standing on my head!
We spend a day with the RV full-timers at Louisburg, Nova Scotia.
