Back from Vacation!

Post by Sputnik »

I'm finally back from vacation! It feels like I've been gone forever! Saw lots of Vibes while I was away. Left mine with my brother so he was driving it all around town while I was gone. Have I missed any exciting Vibe news?

I have 184 unread messages in my inbox... and that doesn't include my work email! But I'm not back to work until Monday so it can wait I suppose.

I went to Point Pelee National Park, Rondeau Provincial Park, Chatham, and Toronto. We were bird watching at the parks, and staying in Chatham overnight. Then went to Toronto for the long weekend and went up the CN tower, to the island etc etc. I will have some photos sometime this week on my website. They're still on the digicam in my suitcase.

I guess my brother's use of my Vibe was not without incident. He filled up our gas tank for us and when he did a piece of the door to the gas lid broke off. Now getting gas is a two person job. Someone has to hold up the gas release lever while someone else pries open the door with their fingers. Any other way and it won't open.

Oh yes I have to do that today or tomorrow along with planting my flowers, going to the gym and seeing the Matrix Reloaded. I need another week of vacation to get all this stuff done!

No, more like light to medium brown with the odd blond highlight (I had my hair highlighted a year ago).

Great shots, Sputnik! But for the height/width ratio, they look like post cards! (they aren't, are they? )BTW, a little known fact: The tip of Point Pelee is actually south of the the northern boundary of California!

My brother has taken some awesome photos with his digicam. Of course his cost more than mine and he can do more things with it. But still very very good photos.
