Nuclear Free Zone

OK, so everyone knows that Canada is more liberal than America, right? Well, try this on for size:

Now c’mon, that’s a pretty darn cool picture. You gotta admit. :-)

I found a couple other pics that I thought you might like from our time in Vancouver…

A lighthouse off one of the points in Stanley Park:

And a couple more from our time in Victoria…

Guerilla filmmaking in Gastown:

Dual self-portrait:

One of the two fountains outside of the Parliament building in Victoria…notice how you can see every individual drop of water…that’s because I took this photo with a very fast shutter speed. Heh. Cool.

Proud

Today, I’m feeling proud to be American.

Really.

I know that sounds a little trite, but I’m really happy that after all the horrible things that have happened over the last several years, the mixed motives, the lies, deceptions and various other vagaries of our government…that finally the Iraqis had a democratic election today.

I was watching the news coverage this morning, and was surprised at myself at how good it felt to see things going well over there, if only for a moment. I know we’re far from out of the woods….but it sure was nice to have a break in the bad news.

And now, back to our regular programming…
