I love Jason's work and am glad he has a gallery where I live.

It's the little things that can make all the difference.

The guide: The summer hiking, the winter skiing, the shoulder seasons travelling.

Look what I saw in Setubal, Portugal today.

I find myself in Portugal right now, when normally I would be in Maui. Wonder why.

And people repeatedly say they won’t run into bears on busy trails.

I would make more turkey if they raised turkeys that fed 2 instead of 22.

Oh, they do. They’re called chickens. That’s why.

In the dappled shade of huge trees lining a linear park, a tall volcanic cone-shaped fountain and art installation trickles water, awaiting its next eruption. And erupt water it does.

Today's lunch view. Not volunteering.

I don't disagree, but Spray Lakes never even asked for the first build. They just did it. That's bad.

The main argument for its removal was that it was never permitted by DFO in the first place. Now it has been, it can be built. That DFO would give it a permit was never in doubt.

Not in my province, where I had to order them in advance, pay for them, and wait until later in the month to get them.

But then, we have more measles cases than the entire US!

Not until after Oct 20 according to an e-mail I got when my booking was confirmed.

What I find interesting is nearly all of the world's current supply of H2 gas is made from fossil fuels. It can be (and is) also commercially made from coal. Yes, you can do electrolysis of water (or thermochemical), but $$$ and really only from fresh water because of chlorine gas if using sea water

In a cold and frosty covered meadow, a younger male moose with a small-ish rack marches out of the mud, with fog rising.

Under a blue sky filled with high, wispy clouds, a mountain rises, with dark evergreens surrounding the magnificent fall colours of yellows, pale greens and golds on the aspens and poplars below.

I cannot share today's lunch view while out volunteering. So instead, who I saw an hour before lunch, and the view on the way home this afternoon.

A green and gold meadow, surrounded by green conifers, under a blue sky with scattered puffy white clouds.

Yellow and gold aspens speckle the dense green conifers in the river valley in the foreground, while in the distance, rugged peaks rise, all under a blue sky with puffy white clouds.

Today's lunch view while out volunteering was the same as Tuesday. That's what happens when it's cold and I eat lunch inside. So also, I've added a pic from about 40 min before lunch.

Under a moody, overcast grey sky, an alpine meadow, lush with pale greens and yellows, surrounded by a green coniferous forest, with mountains in the distant background.

A small waterfall tumbles down vertical exposed rocks into a greenish-grey pool, surrounded by a lush green mossy forest.

Today's lunch view, and for fun, the waterfall I saw just after lunch.

Under a moody, cloudy sky, three rugged, rocky mountains rise They're being viewed through a wide slot in the trees and shrubs that are in fall colours of yellow & gold

Today's lunch view while out volunteering was uninteresting: in a campground at a picnic table. So here is my view about 10 minutes after lunch.

Across a crystal clear lake, reflecting the blue sky, majestic mountains rise.

Today's lunch view while out volunteering.

Under a brilliant bluebird sky, a fall alpine meadow, bursting with willows in yellows, greens and golds, and surrounded by dark coniferous trees, with towering mountains in the distant background.

Today's lunch while out volunteering.

From within a fenced playground, past aspen trees in fall foliage, rugged mountains rise under a brilliant blue sky.

I’m late. Yesterday’s lunch view while out volunteering.

Better question: WHERE was it filmed?

YouTube video by Videos from a Messy Office Raymcraft Case Review

There I go making more YouTube videos again. This one is about the Raymcraft keyboard case for the iPad Mini.

My jurisdiction has more measles cases than the entire US.

Under a stunning blue sky, with some pretty puffy clouds for accent, a rugged mountain rises above a large alpine lake, while in the foreground, green and yellow grasses line the shore.

Today’s lunch view while out volunteering.

In the foreground, a horribly washboarded gravel road. In the distance, mountains tower under overcast grey skies. In between, a dense green forest and a willow-filled stream bed in muted fall colours.

Today's lunch view while out volunteering. Yep, a truck-nic on washboarded gravel road.

Not in my town. My town is a high-end exclusive resort town where low-end hotel chains are torn down to build million $ condos that can be rented out on AirBnB for 5x the hotel rate. And affordable housing is very rare indeed.

Make it a lunch view or it's not fun!

Yeah, I blew it when I made those birdhouses. The holes were too big. The squirrels got in and I had no birds. I tried to find ways to restrict the hole size, but nothing worked.

Isn’t that the protagonist in THE FUGITIVE starring Harrison Ford?
