How Much Is Too Much?

Good question. I tend to post a lot of photos to social media. I’m in many groups, each with different guidelines. I try to abide by all the guidelines set down by each. Since they are all different, I sometimes I get it wrong, and an admin will tell me and I will apologize. Doesn’t

Is There Life In France?

The Italian physicist Enrico Fermi (1901 – 1954) created the first nuclear reactor, worked on the Manhattan project, and is one of only 16 scientists in history to have an element named in his honour. It’s fair to say that he’s a big deal in science circles. One of the many things for which Fermi

Four Years Of Droning On

This week marks the fourth anniversary of flying a drone. Four years ago today I earned my pilot’s license and took to the skies legally and safely after completing testing and being issued with required legal paperwork.

The Choice

I always try to look on the bright side of life. And not just because it’s a song by which to live your life, though I would argue it certainly is. Case in point: A few years ago, I passed this deer on one of many trips to Hamilton to visit the hospital. I had

I Saw Three ships

This image, captured on Lake Ontario one wintery morning, reminded me of the old English Christmas carol, “I saw three ships come sailing by”. It seemed a fitting image to mark Christmas Day. Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it, and a happy holiday season to those that don’t. May your bellies be full and

Merry Christmas

To those that celebrate it, Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays and Season’s Greetings to those that don’t, or follow faiths too numerous to mention. As I write, blizzard conditions are sweeping across the continental U.S. and Canada. Here, we have power lines and trees down, our doors are blocked with drifted snow and there is flooding

IOTW: The Scow

In August 1918 a scow broke loose from the tug towing it along the Niagara river. It and the two men aboard became lodged in the rocks above Niagara Falls. It has been there now for over a century. Fast forward to October 2019. The scow, battered by a raging river for decades, succumbs to
