Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

Barry has a forum for juice recipes on his page (he had to go one-up me and get the fancy ,shiny, probably-doesn't-leak professional version of my “pro-sumer” model, ha)… I admit that I like really simple single-fruit drinks most (although I'm open to suggestions). From left to right (pardon the bottles; I'm cheap) is red grapefruit, apple, and watermelon.

Speaking of feeling better, the database cleaning I've been working on all week is finally complete (at least the first step), so I'm off to do another stage of that now.

Many hours of driving, and I think about $70 dollars of today's ultra-expensive gas later ($5/gallon today in Toronto for the good gas), and I'm back home (and a little sore in the legs)… I love getting out of the city. I don't know if I like the way the County I grew up in is continuing to gentrify though — half the stores are antique shops for rich people who want to buy a pre-fab mansion in the country and pretend it's a farmhouse. Maybe they can even pay some farmer to park his tractor on their lawn. Oh wait, no, they wouldn't want to hurt their manicured lawn.

Anyway… I was going to scout out MLS for properties tonight but it's getting late and I want to stick with my sleeping schedule because I've been feeling better as time goes by on it. So let me quickly post a few pictures from today's death-anniversary trip and then get to bed.

Looking north along Point Petre.	…and south as well (that's Saira who always comes along; I think we're the only two friends of the twins that go out there almost every year).	Getting the car to the water was insane because the roads had deep (foot+) ruts, drop offs, and big rocks… and my car is lowered! So there was a lot of “one wheel on the centre hump, one on the side of the road” type driving.	I took this same picture years ago with my Aztec 7, and with many of my other cars as well. It's one of my places to take cars to photo them I guess.
South view again.	Sitting on the water… I wish I could spend every day on water like this. I will soon enough I'm sure.	Water rolling off the limestone steps.	Splash-pools of water among the rocks. We did a little climbing and exploring too. Hope my theory that I'm not allergic to poison ivy is correct.
Parked at Little Bluff. This was quite a drive as well, over a deeply pitted gravel road, and then a very well maintained forest path.	I think this house is haunted but I'd love to use it as a movie set one day. I kind of want to have BMEFEST 2008 (not 2007; that one's planned already) be a week long movie shoot.	Sitting on the roots of a big oak tree cantilevered out over a cliff, looking at the water and the beach and the marsh and forest behind it. Is there a nicer place to relax?	This is after I realized the road we were on was so messed up with potholes that the only way we'd get through without bottoming out in a hole was to hit them at about sixty so we'd just “fly” over them. On the whole it worked…

Well, I have a big chunk of BME stuff to post in the morning. See you then!
