Where did the other 11% go?
Gavan
&
Heather
89% Compatible
Gavan and Heather have been romantically-together for a long time. That alone demonstrates a degree of compatibility. Being from different religious backgrounds may cause friction. They both drink, so there is no incompatibility there. Both are brainy, and that is a good thing. Their astrological signs are in harmony, which is a plus. Their common love of animals is another good thing. And their views on children are similar. The fact that both Gavan and Heather are somewhat dominant reduces compatibility, as opposites in this area attract. Overall, Gavan and Heather are highly compatible. They are capable of having a beautiful relationship together.
I think it’s because I’m not into beastieality the same way Heather is…

Ollie featured on Grown-up Puppies
And here are his puppy photos featured on the same site. I’m proud to say that Ollie has received 10.4 biscuits out of 11 with over a thousand votes!

David Foster Vists Niagara Falls
I also noticed David Foster at the edge of the falls while looking for a Black-legged Kittiwake. See? Not only can I identify birds, but I can identify celebrities (a stretch, I know) as well.

Gavan Being Bad
I went looking for gulls along the Niagara River today. I decided to go for an ill-advised swim…
Kidding!

Canadian Journal of Environmental Education Volume 12 – Call for Book Reviewers
In one of my other lives, I edit the book reviews for Canada’s pre-eminent academic journal on all things related to education for, by, in and about the environment (don’t worry, thankfully this is a description of the journal that I just made up and is in no way the official, well-worded one).
Anywhoo. Assuming that people actually read this thing and I’m not just talking electronically to myself, you can find the call and further instructions here.

Top of the CN tower above the clouds
Here’s a neat-o shot on Flickr from last week for us Torontonians who live lower than the 346m of the CN tower’s observation deck.

Mmmm…shortbread…
I’m just enjoying one of life’s pleasures: a cup of tea and a finger of shortbread. Anything that is 31% real butter (as the Walker’s shortbread package touts) can’t be wrong.
P.S.: I didn’t notice that my fingers slipped while I was typing and I added extra t at the end of “tea”. That would have made it a “cup of teat” which, I guess, is its own pleasure and a quite the Freudian slip.

A statue walks the dog
Here’s a recent photo of Ollie in Yorkville. It’s funny because there’s no way a statue could walk a dog. Ha!

Appetite for Destruction
Summer 1988: Camp Tawingo, I was eleven years old. The summer soundtrack? Gn’R's Appetite for Destruction. I remember that waking up to the guitar riff of Welcome to the Jungle on a daily basis. It was a little shocking (especially the liner notes and Robert Williams’ robot rape). At the time, I think I made myself not like it but, secretly, it was etching itself into my musical fabric.
And now, I enjoy watering plants to the album.
