Hippy House


Driving around Ontario, I came upon this crazy house. I could only imagine that a hippy had enough time to paint it this way. Unfortunately it was closed for the season. I wonder what they sell?

Seattle, Redmond & all of King County Wind Storm

As you may or may not know, the West coast just got SLAMMED with a wind storm in the past few days. I've just turned on my computer after 33 hours without power. That's peanuts compared to some folks though. I know Issaquah is still without power.

Yesterday my wife and I took a drive through 6 neighbouring towns to see if we could find a cell signal, and here are the photos from our adventure.

This shot taken on the street next to mine, in Redmond.


This shot taken on 236th Ave, heading from my place down to 202.


Further down 236th Ave.


Almost at 202, still on 236th.


This shot driving up Union Hill Road.


Following a BMW up Union Hill.


Past 208th on Union Hill Road is where it was hit the worst.


At the top of Union Hill, the power cables were spewn everywhere.

So as you can see, I'm surprised it only took 33 hours to get power back here. The wind storm was crazy. I lucky did not sustain any damage to my home or belongings or persons, the closest it came was a house in my neighbourhood had a window knocked out, and part of a fence.

I'm happy that it's over.

Poor Palm


Hopefully you're not bored of the snow pictures, I'm still getting a kick out of them. I remember looking up and seeing this poor palm tree, covered in snow...

Going through my Victoria pictures, I found another interesting one of the beginnings of the snow storm...

Snow at the Empress

Victoria Snow


The parliament buildings in Victoria's snow storm. Today we got about 2" of snow, the last time it snowed this much was 1996!


Just outside the parliament buildings, the tribute to war hero's


Chico was obviously not having fun in the snow. He was ready for the heat of the appartment.
