In some ways. Had to drive all the way to Sudbury and back to get a new temple for my eyeglasses, the old one having broken off as I was doing my blog night-before-last. When it first broke I tried using old pairs of glasses that I had saved as backups, but the only one with a reasonably close prescription had the coating peeling off, and even a fingernail touching lightly left big scratches. I was a bit panicked then, but by morning I had devised a brilliant solution—a bit of aluminum from the Pine Box garage hammered flat, folded over, and then crimped onto both sides of the broken frame. Genius. And it looked kinda classy too—a bit of bling, so to speak. So today, along the with long drive, I was a bit bummed to have to trade in my flashy jury rig for a proper new wireframe temple.

In other ways, it was hot. One of the hotter days of the year. Hot, humid, hazy, and mostly still. So probably a good day to be mostly in a car with air conditioning. Now, this evening, Pax has gone into weather radar mode so I suspect there may be something heading our way.

Above is a photo sent from an acquaintance on the old Stewardship Council who owns a large patch of bush over on the south side of the Island, towards Providence Bay. If you look closely, there seems to be a large lion moving left to right. Supposedly, the eastern cougar is extinct. But what is this?
