The weekend is finally here but it started with a bang in a manner of speaking. Yesterday evening, when it was time to leave work, it was pouring rain mixed with ice pellets. I kept saying it could snow and the guard that had relieved me kept saying, "don't say that!" All of this was on my mind as I was humming the
Andrew Sisters rendition of
"Jingle Bells" as the mix of rain and hail came down. Everytime I mentioned the "snow" word I would hear, "Don't say that!"
Well, I was off without unpacking my umbrella. That would wait until I reach the station I was to catch the bus at. I joined someone on the homeward trip on the
SkyTrain. We were chatting as the storm continued unabaited outside. There was a flash of l
ightning as we stopped at another station and then
thunder. While chatting we both relayed our stories about lightning, including my comment about the thought back east where the chance of getting struck by lightning was better than winning the lottery. Then on our way again there was another bolt of lightning and loud thunder. That's when I learned that she was afraid of lightning and switched to another seat across from me, so that she wouldn't have to see the lightning!
She mentioned that people get killed by lightining and then I'm thinking to myself,
"how does moving away so as not to see the lightning change anything?" Lightning is still going to do what it's going to do! I'm not much for irrational fears but on the otherhand, if it's our time to go and our number is up, then so be it. There's no sense in fearing the end (death) since we're all going to experience it at one point or another. It's as much a fact of life as birth is! Then another flash and clap of thunder followed with more rain and hail. I got my bus and was home soon enough. The rain continued into the night and was still pouring as I went to bed around 11 pm.
It's now early afternoon Saturday. The sky is dull and overcast with light rain falling which doesn't seem surprising at all since most of November has been like this: dull, grey overcast with rain, and lots of it!
This afternoon I plan to take the
SkyTrain over to
Metrotown in south
Burnaby to get some grocery shopping done before returning home to get some laundry done. Mundane stuff, yes, but it all needs to be done and out of the way. After that, it's more time at the computer. I may even take some time to scan some photos and see how they turn out. A few of the good ones will be posted if all turns out okay. That's the plan anyway. More later! - V.
Male bonding can take many forms, from just being and interacting with friends to something more intimate as the image above suggests. It's something to think about and I certainly will as I head off to bed dreaming about what we'll do once my man arrives from the east. That'll involve anything from business to pleasure. Let your imagination wonder. Ours certainly will!!! Let these images inspire and prod your imagination into action. Night all! - V.
To end a Saturday here are a few more hot dudes to inspire you and to think about while you drift off to sleep. Well, on the otherhand, if you're just starting your day, then you can have them on your mind all day long. Life is full of beauty all around. Take the time to enjoy and savour it! Take the time to help those that are improving their physiques and compliment those that have perfected their's. Two working together can help to inspire greatness in each other. Can more working together do even more? You be the judge of that. What goes around, comes around as it's often said. - V. 
Guess who? Well, here we have two hotties for the price of one! Inspired? Go enjoy your weekend and have some fun while you're at it!!! - V.
Back in May I saved the pineapple top from one of the pineapples I was about to eat, trimmed the dead parts of the leaves off, pulled off some of the lower leaves and made a fresh cut at the base. Then I let that dry over night before putting the cutting into a glass with water. I topped up the water as it was used up by the cutting and then potted the thing when I determined there were enough roots. Putting it in water allows one to view the changes as time progresses. The photo above shows the bottom of the cutting before it was put into the glass of water. If you look carefully, you can see the buds from where the roots would grow. The photo below gives a view of the entire cutting.
The last image shows the cutting, well rooted at this point, potted up. It's currently in a well lit window in the dining area and gets enough sun, when the sun is shining, of course. The trick now is to get it to flower and to produce some fruit, which will likely be small in our climate and latitude. More photos later. - V.
This is Felipe Anibal, yet another hot model from Brazil, the source of other hotties like Renato Ferreira, Edilson Nascimento and many others from that land that seems to be a great source of really hot guys. Savour this and enjoy the pleasures you have in life, however small or great they may be! - V.
To keep you going through until the weekend here is another photo of model Renato Ferreira. This is something lighter and takes us away from the rain outside to put our mind on a season past (summer), or for those in the southern hemisphere, a season yet to come! - V.
