ants! Ants!! ANTS!!!
We were somewhat troubled by ants last night, but they lapped up that borax, and we don’t see them any more. It’s kind of a sick little monkey way of killing them; feed them something sweet that, when fed to their leader, kills their society.

Groundhogs!
I took far too many pictures of groundhogs today. I got some really strange looks from people waiting at the bus stop near one of the burrows.

koi? no, quite assertive, actually
Scarborough epiphany: the rather industrial-looking pond on William Kitchen Rd contains several sizeable golden koi carp

collapse or creation?
Is this picture:
- A news image showing a construction site that collapsed, killing several workers, or
- A work-in-progress image from the Royal Ontario Museum?
Answer after the break.

Crappy Lanes: spread the love
Further to Matt Seaton’s article in the Guardian about atrocious cycle facilities, and highlighting Warrington Cycle Campaign’s Facility of the Month, can I just say that Pete Owens of WCC got the idea for the web page from my Crappy Lanes (archive.org copy) site?

geo mashup
I should probably introduce my Geo Mashup page. It shows where I’ve been blogging from, using Google Maps. It’s quite a fun WordPress plugin,and you can get it here.

So I’m flat on my back, the air acrid with Bengay. My shoulder’s twingeing like a mad thing, almost like being stabbed.

Congratulations to AIM Powergen on opening Erie Shores Wind Farm yesterday.

MacArthurVicPark
The cigarette butt was a nice touch to this brutally stomped birthday cake, I thought. I wonder what its story is?

Victoria parkinglot
It’s quicker – a lot quicker – to walk south on Vic Park from Sheppard to Farm Greenway than to catch the bus and have it crawl south over the 401.

now that’s what I call shoulder pads
Rather too busy gardening and stuff this weekend to blog. I did see this rather unusual flying thing in the garden; a T-shaped bug.
It’s a plume moth, say the good folks at What’s That Bug?

few epiphanies at the Toronto Cycle Show
If I see another $2500 full-sus disk-braked mountain bike, I’ll puke. There were a few tiny things of interest here; please comment if you want the details.

… like the card game
There was one thing I hated about Rumo, and that was finishing it. Walter Moers creates such a complex — yet never serious — fantasy world that leaving it is always hard.
