Mount Pleasant/Huey Lake Road, also known as..

Anyone who has ventured down this mogul run, masquerading as a 'road' knows that this homemade protest road sign is sadly, correct.

Gary Ramey, PAVE THIS ROAD! You used it as an example of poor roads during your campaign, I seen you in to the paypuh an erryding.

Dark sense of forboding

This picture (shot last Saturday on the Lahave River) sums up the collective cloud of melancholy that is hanging over myself and my friends after last night's election results.

ALL HAIL EMPEROR PALPATINE! ...err, I mean Harper.

To paraphrase the Bhagavad Gītā, "Now, he is become death, the destroyer of Canada."

Spring means....Fat buds!

I spotted lots of fat Chestnut buds this weekend, swollen and ready to explode!

Gotta clear out the '10's to make room for the '11's

Spotted this nice stack of firewood last weekend. I love the weathered, grey wood from last year and the fresh look of the recently split and stacked wood beside it.

Spring also means...brake burns!

For those hankering for a fresh set of brake burns, look no further. Lots of fresh patches on the roads, this set was laid down on some sand seal road in Union Square.

Woo HOO, a cool 17k views! ^_^

I know it's not a big number in the blog-o-sphere, but I did squeal a little when I saw the number!

Thanks to my regular readers in Halifax, Moncton, Ottawa, Washington, Vancouver, Kitchener, Kingston, and of course my South Shore readers!

I appreciate all the views and especially the comments!

Here are some stats on you, the readers:

Browsers

~45% of you folks are FF users, ~28% IE users, a respectable ~12% using Chrome and ~9% running safari. The rest, a mish mash of android and probably other mobile browsers.

OS

No shocker here, most are running XP (~32%), followed by OSX (~22%) and Linux TYING Vista and Win 7 users at ~ 13%!!!!

The rest, a jumble of iOS, android and other mobile operating systems.

Where are you?

Again, no surprises, most readers are Canadian (~76%), followed by the US (~17%) and the rest have stumbled here from places like the U.K., Japan, United Arab Emirates and Iceland.

I hope you have enjoyed this snapshot of the 'ole blog.
