Posted by on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 in - leave a comment
Given the new forecast from the Nantional Hurricane Center I would say that now is the time to start watching Bill a little more closely. It's still not time to rush to the SuperStore and buy batteries and water (you should have those anyway). • The forecast track has been shifting further and …

I've heard that a few people have been asking why we would have left the front of our building at 224 Queen Street until the very end to finish. Here's why: • The front is the most intricate.

Someone had a dialogue with our construction trailer yesterday between 4pm and 6pm. • Someone in the know told us to report it to the police, so we have. While I understand this is normal protocol I think it may, in the end, fan the flames of "damning the man". I'd like to come up with something …

I must admit, today isn't my best nature effort. I ended up taking the car to work for no good reason (shame). So tonight I wandered a little bit around my neighbourhood. When I say a little bit I mean a couple of minutes. I felt forced but that's part of these things right? • Rain is on the way …

If you're outside on PEI today there are two distinguishing characteristics (I've given up talking about how freaking cold it is): • The sun. With barely a cloud in the sky and the snow to reflect it all around it seems blazingly strong today. • The crunchy snow. It's one of those days where …

Through some miracle of tenacity this little oak tree has held onto some of its leaves. This little tree, no more than five or six feet tall, stands in one of the windiest, nasties places in the city. You can see this little guy holding onto its leaves in 100km/h winds in my New Year's Eve storm …
