A face only a mother could love
A day off! Dusted off the cob webs of Zen Guru (AT Pro) whom I am sure feels very neglected as he has just been hanging around the spare bedroom and not coming out. Deciding where to go well that was another matter me son. Checked the tide charts. It was low tide so my mind was made up and too boot close to home.
Lord love a duck the park was a refugee camp for mobile manure makers as there was at least a dozen in every shade under the sun running around off leash sniffing, barking growling and lifting a leg to the nearest tree. Undaunted I began to swing close to the water and instantly rewarded with a Canuck 5 cent piece with the middle completely corroded. Just goes to show what 5 cents is worth these days. Can recall the beaver getting one a package of sports cards with a rock hard piece of bubble gum. Got sniffed, barked at along with giving a few back pats to the more civilized triple "M's." A parade of defunct coppers came my way along with a quarter which I'll use to help cover the cost of crossing the McKay Bridge.
Moving along the shore line southeast with my entourage of yappers I eyeballed a monster....truck that is along with a face that only a mother could love. A 1st fur dis bouy! Sort of looks like my mate Jim in the UK who I'll see in a few weeks. Shoulder let me know that it was time to head home. At least there there was peace and quiet. Not too mention an amazing stand of blue, mauve and white orchids which I trust will get me out of the basement of the dog house!
Stopped at my auto shop where my new pole for the sieve was ready. The last pole was made by a Dominican whist on vacation there. gave the bouy $20 US as I recall. Thought for a moment that I was a pope as he danced for joy and almost kissed my hand. We often take those lads for granted. Work hard for what they are paid. Sort of reminds me of the modern day folks that work on cruise ships!
Home in time to watch the Athletics and Angels play........bliss!
