Don’t step in the poop, dear, people want to look at it. 🙂
Overheard today from a parent to a young child during a tracks and scat talk ‘n walk at the Kanaka Creek Stewardship Centre in Maple Ridge, BC.
Super event, great fun and educational to boot.

Performed additional surgery on my Canon SX730HS using my trusty Leatherman.
Yes, you read that right! I dropped the Canon on pavement a week or two ago, smashing the metal lens-cover iris that opens and closes when the camera is cycled on and off. Otherwise the camera functioned fine, so I pulled out as many pieces of the iris as I could.
Over the course of the last week a few more pieces worked their way loose, so out came the Leatherman this morning.
Yeah, I’ve got DSLRs but this is the pocket camera that I have on me nearly all the time.
Paul’s mish-mashed potato pancakes.
Remember there’s leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge and get a hankering for potato pancakes.
Discover there’s less than half a cup left. Hm. See there’s rice in the rice cooker. Hm. OK, what the heck, about half a cup of potatoes, half a cup of rice, a tablespoon of flour, an egg, salt and pepper, and some sesame seeds. . .
Not bad, not bad at allÂ
