my morning walk

Allan accompanied me on my morning dog-walk today, so I could have my hands free to take pictures. Here's some of what I see every morning.

This is the park at the end of our street, where we join the waterfront trail.

Lake Ontario

This is the view in the other direction, opposite the lake.


morning walk 026

Lest we forget where we are.


morning walk 027

This is at the end of the Port Credit marina.


morning walk 021

I discovered that if I go all the way to the end of the park - and if I stand on the stone wall - I can see the top of the CN Tower.

Some wildlife on the rocks.


morning walk 036

This is what most of the neighborhood looks like.

And this is across the street from us: the back of the condos.

Back home.

    Lori & I once went walking in Humber Bay Park (at the mouth of Mimico Creek), and the place was swarming with little black cats like the one you photographed. Something about the lakeshore, I guess. :)

    Are you living your dream Laura? Your neighborhood looks really adorable and it looks peaceful too. How far would you say Downtown is from where you live?

    Your neighborhood looks really adorable and it looks peaceful too.

    Yes! It's adorable and peaceful. :)

    We are 25 minutes from downtown Toronto by train, or 20-30 mins by car depending on traffic. Very quick and easy!

    Those are really beautiful photos, Laura. I keep meaning to post pictures of our new neighborhood -- this reminded me to get out the camera and go for a walk when I get home today.

    Also, I have exciting news to share! I'll try to remember to email you soon.

    Hey L-girl--thanks for the pics. I know exactly where you and RS live now. Me and Sweet Baby were down there for an Art Show about 7 weeks ago, and parked near those condos.

    Hey Kyth! I'll try to remember to check out your journal. I hope you're enjoying the neighborhood!

    Hey Andy! I had a feeling I was revealing my exact location to some people. So feel free to stalk us anytime you're down this way. :)

taking it

In comments here , James brought up an interesting piece. One of the most common questions I hear up here when yet another example of Bushian idiocy, incompetence, or corruption shows up is, "Why aren't people more outraged by this down there? Why isn't anyone making a fuss?" From up here, it often looks like almost everyone's going along with Bush, though that's certainly not the case. Of course, one of the big reasons for that is that the major news networks don't think it's newsworthy when people do make a fuss. But serious opposition to Bush and his policies is almost invisible up here, except to those who make a special point of following US politics from a liberal perspective. I hear this a lot, and it drives me nuts. Millions of Americans are making a fuss. I know because I used to be one of them. Here's my reply in that same thread: A fuss? We were - oh, that's "they are" - making a huge fuss. But the Bushies control all bra...

pity the 1%

"Cash bonuses on Wall Street are expected to drop by 14 percent during this year's 'bonus season'." Only 20 billion dollars will be doled out, with the average bonus totalling $121,000. How sad. That's billion, with a B. Bankers' trophy dates are sad, too . Be sure to click - and read to the end for maximum impact.

in no way threatening to me

Thanks to ALPF, I have learned that another American war resister is seeking asylum in Canada. I am so out of the loop, lost as I am in the ancient world . Good thing you guys keep me informed. US Army Pvt. Brandon Hughey, 20, told the [Canadian] Immigration and Refugee Board that he refused "to kill people or lose my life under false pretenses." Hughey said he believed the war in Iraq was illegal and his conscience obliged him to desert his Ft. Hood, Texas army base last year. He said when he joined the military at 17 he was looking for a way to put himself through college and respected the military. "I believe some things are worth fighting for, like defending my home and my family," Hughey told the board. "I had no moral objection to fighting back then. In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war. But he later deter...
