The obvious (but globally ignored) climate emergency was evident in this week's brutal heat wave. Extreme temperatures and humidity that used to be tropical but is now northern. Wake up, people! All we could do was dip our toes in local shores. Oh, and sleep in the natural coolness downstairs.
Drove down to pretty Blyth for a first-time visit to their local playhouse. "Cakewalk" could have been a funny romp but in this case was overwrought and just toooooo long. My rating? --- 3 1/2 flat tires out of 4.
Bird nesting is over so time to check the boxes. The first picture shows evidence of 2 different types of bird nest on top of each other --- lower is thinner twigs (wren?). Upper is rougher twigs (sparrow?). The second picture is small wood chips and thick sawdust ---- probably a squirrel.
Up to the pretty shores of Wiarton for their weekly car gathering. The Girl liked this bigass Hudson. The Boy reminisced about this 60's scooter. And lots of variety ---- from little Jeepster to hulking old dump truck.
Guys showed up on short notice to put new flashing around a non-traceable chimney leak. Nice work and so fast the cleanup happened before morning coffee!
Big shout-out to the July 20 50th anniversary of the moon landing. The most audacious, outrageous achievement of our time. To many of you it might be ancient history, before you were born. But I was backpacking in Europe and arrived in Rome as the Italian guys were yelling "Luna! Luna!" as an excuse to grab at American girls. Awesome, awesome.
Fittingly, with remnants of this week's full moon in sight, we drove topdown to another pretty little summer town --- Lion's Head --- to see their local playhouse's very first production ever. "Salt Water Moon". Surprise ---totally opposite of Cakewalk. Rating: 4 full tires out of 4. Mesmerizing performance by the 2-person cast. Future at Stratford or Broadway?? Bravo! The audience was ---- over the moon!
