Thought, stories and random stuff from a guy, his dogs and his tech toys!
Those that know me know that I’m a fan of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’ve read the series numerous times, I have the original TV series, I’ve seen the movie and have excerpts from the radio series.
Well, today, May 25 is “Towel Day”. Douglas Adams celebrate the day by taking a towel with them where ever they go. There’s a Wikipedia article here. There’s also an official Towel Day site here.
So, just remember. You always have to know where your towel is!

This past Saturday (May 21) there was a parade here in Prince George. The occasion was Vaisakhi which is listed on Wikipedia as “one of the most
significant holidays in the Sikh calendar, commemorating the establishment of the Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib in 1699, by the 10thSikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.
The great thing about this parade was that it passed right by my house! Well, as a photographer, how could I not take some pictures!
These are some of the images in my SmugMug set titled “Vaisakhi Parade – May 21, 2011” Please have a look!
This is my first posting in the blog site using an iPhone app for wordpress. Let’s see how this flies!
After living in my home for 19 years, I decided to change the look of the from yard. Over the years, I’ve removed some trees and filled in a garden, however the area in front of the house had basically been left alone.
Over time, some of the trees have grown too large and were causing problems. It was time for a change.
Plans include removing all growth (4 cedars and 2 lilacs) and use crush to fill in the space. I’ll then use planters for flowers. I’m hoping this will make things easier to keep, and enhance the look of the old pad.
So, being a camera guy, you know I’m going to take pictures along the way. And of course the pictures will be available on my SmugMug site in a gallery titled: Front Yard Reno Project – 2011. Check it out over the next few weeks (months?) to see how things are coming along. I’m really excited about this project. I may know how to set up a home network or the difference between f2.8 and f22, but I don’t know squat about landscaping!
Welcome to the official blog of me! I’ll be using this site to make posts on photography, caching, agility and other hobbies. This blog is also a good excuse to keep up on my WordPress skills.
So, let’s not waste anymore time, or bandwidth, and let’s get to posting!
