Still smoky

 

Still very smoky outside - yesterday Montreal was on the news because it had the worst air quality for a city in the world!

More smoke

 

Smoke fills the St. Lawrence from forest fires in Quebec. Burning feeling in eyes and throat.

Post apocalyptic gas station

Driving out of Perth, Ontario, I was thinking of the end of the world and how most likely the sun will expand into a red giant that would engulf the world. The sun was setting and I saw this abandoned gas station, with a Coca-Cola cooler and a basketball hoop the employees must have used when business was slow. This is what we'll leave behind.

 

Historical recreation of UK 8th Army Desert World War II

Guy walking down sidewalk in Smith Falls, in WWII British army desert kit. He and his friend are historical recreators. A few hours later I was in a store a couple of block away and saw a Dragon Models 6390 1/35 British 8th Army Infantry El Alamein '42 kit in a store.
