I'll bet you have been thinking that there couldn't possibly be any more amazing special effects I could learn that might make this blog a little flashier. Well, haHA! I've just learned how to grab images from the internet! Yes, indeed! I'm rapidly pulling up along side the average 4-year-old in my computer skills set. And what a special skill, this is, given that I have to right click and, well, "save". OK. So, my learning curve could be a little steeper.
So, here's a practice picture: it' relates to yesterday's entry, where I strongly encouraged all four of you to check out the paper art of this one guy named Peter Callesen, a Norwegian artist. In case you rudely ignored the suggestion, here's a photo that might pique your interest. It's cut from one piece of paper (A4, which is the European equivalent to our 8 1/2 x 11). There are lots more of these, plus other interesting paper work.
Meanwhile, in other news, it's been snowing most of the day. I didn't post any pictures because they would look remarkably like yesterday's. I went to the market and also a kitchen store where I bought a new teakettle. An orange one. One with a whistle that works. So I won't have to buy another one any time soon. I also voted. We are in an area where we have to mail in our ballots. It's a bit anticlimactic, but convenient, for sure. Tom hasn't filled his out, yet.
Could you care less about what some of the big local issues are for us, currently? I didn't think so. Too bad. Here is a sample: a. Do we want a big Canadian mining company to reopen one of the larger, most productive gold mines in town? b. Do we want local promotional efforts to encourage more tourism or more
Police Blotter from the last few days:
"11:28 a.m.--A woman called from the 10000 block of Lime Kiln Road to report her dog locked himself inside her vehicle with the keys inside. The caller was advised to call a tow company for assistance." ["HaHA! At last! Alone with this delicious-looking dashboard!]
"12:11 p.m.--A caller from the 400 block of Jordan street reported hearing a creaking sound, possible a cupboard opening, or a chair. Police contacted the caller and all was fine." [I don't think "fine" is exactly the right word...]
