Something Fishy About This Post

Hello, Blogging Buddies!

Well, my recent blogging break

has concluded, so here I am again!

I did lots of things on my break

which you will learn about in due course

via various posts to come over the summer.

I did take a road trip for part of that time --

can you guess where?

Yes, that's right -- my home province and old stomping grounds

where I used to live until moving to Edmonton 30 years ago!

The provincial sign is located at the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border.

It depicts the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg

which is one of the places I went to in the city.

And of course, the Bison is the symbol of Manitoba.

This sign comes from a Tim Horton's en route,

so that's why it says "Always Fresh" in the breezy sky.

They mean the donuts, not the bison!

I visited some old friends, went to some

new attractions built since I last lived in Winnipeg,

revisited some of my former neighbourhoods

and favourite spots, and had a very good time!

And boy, do I know when to get outta town --

the day I left there was a tornado a few hours later

in a small community near Winnipeg.

Luckily, no fatalities but here's a look

at the ominous clouds gathering --

Summer Break

Well, everyone, summer's here and I've got

places to go, people to see, and stuff to do!

So this blog will be on hiatus

until mid-July or so.

Behave yourselves until then!

Oh, who am I kidding?

I know you people!

Have fun and see you later!

Monday Murals -- Tarot Cards

I'm taking part today in 

Monday Murals hosted by Sami.

Today is World Tarot Day

so I am featuring a mural

depicting three tarot cards.

The cards represent the unknown artist's interpretation of

the Temperance, World and Star cards of the Major Arcana.

This mural was painted on the side of a

pagan, goth and kink "Curio Shoppe"

located in a trendy area in Edmonton

known for shopping, bars and restaurants.

Both the store and the mural are now long gone, alas.
