The Sourdough Saloon is most famous for a drink far more lurid than beer: its “sourtoe cocktails” are the drink of choice, garnished with a genuine severed human toe.

Science Songs

New Scientist
"With the help of you, lovely reader, we would like to solve one of science's most intractable problems - one that is more controversial than the existence of dark matter, more pressing than global warming - namely: What are the top 10 science pop songs?"

September Five at Saint-Henri

Vignettes of life in a Montréal working-class district, this film offers a host of impressions, from dawn to midnight, on the day school opens. A mother fussing over children, a father's enforced idleness, teenage boys clowning, young lovers dallying--the unposed quality of life.

We in Lachine thought we were one step up from St. Henri. We weren't. This was a great documentary.

Smells Like Old Spice

Are you ready? Today the Spice Girls will formally announce their reunion at a press conference at the O2 Arena. There will be a string of high-profile shows on different continents and a Greatest Hits album, including new songs that they have recently recorded.

The Optics Are Horrible

Why does the Ontario environment minister's family of four (two of them infants) have four vehicles – a Ford Escape hybrid, a Volvo SUV, a Mercedes and a Porsche? A fine example that is!
Her neighbours are incensed by her plans for an unsightly monster garage to house them. Doesn't she know there's an election coming up?

Truck hotel

It's the perfect hotel - one where the scenery changes every day, without you having to move a muscle.

The essential 1000 films

Well over a century has passed since the Lumière brothers frightened the life out of Parisians with The Arrival of a Train at a Station, and well over a million titles have since been recorded. The Guardian has chosen what it considers to be the 1000 films to see before you die.

Oh, and quizzes too!

Who I'd vote for if I were a US voter

Hmm, looks like I may lean to the left. Quel surprise! Duncan Hunter got cut off, but who cares? Apparently he'd be the last person I'd vote for, whoever he is.

CN Tower takes on a new look
Over the past week, the CN Tower has been testing its new $2.5 million lighting system after dusk. Ribbons of colour have spilled down the 553-metre-tall structure, ebbing and flowing like water.

Dior Exhibit

Dior: 60 Colorful Years is an exhibition at the Musée Christian Dior in Granville, Dior's childhood home. I am clueless about current fashion but I do love looking at vintage classics. This show really appeals to me because it is held in a beautiful setting with a stunning artist's garden and I do love France. The show is on until September 21.

Disaster!!!

I deleted the album on Picasa Web that contained all my Nag on the Lake photos. Now they have disappeared from my blog as well. Anyone know how to get them back other than one-by-one?

Oh never mind. Only the last few months got deleted. I went back and added the photos again when I could and ruthlessly deleted the rest of the posts. Luckily I still have my doberdoodle photo - the vast majority of my googlers are looking for it. The rest, mostly Europeans, are looking for granny pee (I swear).
