The 37th annual "Human Race"
Posted by: ycd0108, 2:03 AM GMT on May 28, 2012 +0
Today we attended the 37th (or something) annual "Human Race". I was handed the duty of keeping the "Infernal Flame" going (and starting it in the bucket in the photo). All the runners are encouraged to leap over the bucket and I was supposed to take the pictures. This one is the best so far. The young ones run (or bicycle) and the more mature stroll with a dog on a leash. The Elders like me are tasked with starting and fueling the fire in the bucket.
One year my long gone friend just built a fire on the pavement. Neighbours called the police and one officer showed up to tell us we were not supposed to light bonfires in the road. That's why the fire is now in a bucket.
I still hit the pothole we burnt there every now and then.

Down by the Fish Pond

I got the fish bowl suspended in the lower pond an hour or so ago but when I went out to see if the fish were up in it only one of the bowls in the upper pond had a couple of fish up so I took this picture of the little "Spirit House" perched in the huge "Umbrella" plant. The steep stairway is for those tiny spirits who don't fly. A fellow Tloml met in Cambodia imported a bunch of these so we gave them for Christmas presents and got one for our garden.

Pond surface is not the limit

The goldfish seem to like the inverted bowl. I'm guessing that the water warms more in the upside down bowl and the pressure is lower.For some reason they all congregate in one tower. Come to think so do fishermen.

The (last) Lost Post
Posted by: ycd0108, 7:52 PM GMT on May 14, 2012 +0
When I asked "North Oyster Bob" if I could use the publication he wrote back:"C:\Users\Administrator\My Documents\My Pictures\last lost post - er? No he didn't but that's what was in my cut&paste, I'll have to try again:"Ya, The Lost Post certainly was blogging. Except it involved typing very carefully on sheets of real paper, cutting it up, pasting it down (cut and paste!) along with line art work and then getting them printed on the sly at (Edit) College's print s...
