LET'S RIDE BIKES!

A duck goes into a bar and asks the bartender, "Got any grapes?"
The bartender says, "No. This is a bar and we don't sell grapes." The duck leaves.

The next day, the duck goes back to the bar and asks, "Got any grapes?" The bartender says, "I told you yeaterday. This is a bar and we don't sell grapes."

The following day, the duck returns and asks,"Got any grapes?"
The bartender loses it. He grabs the duck by the neck, and yells, "I already told you twice! This is a bar! I don't have any grapes! If you ask me again, I'll nail your beak to the floor!"

The next day, the duck goes in the bar and asks, "Got any nails?" The bartender sighs and says, "No, we don't have any nails." The duck says, "Good. Got any grapes?"

Bluegrass Bonanza

Last night's Bluegrass Bonanza was a success. The Iraqui Adopt-a-Town raised over $2000 to help Edmonton's sister town Abul Khaseeb. Couldn't make it? You can still donate at www.liferelief.org.

It was great seeing so many talented musicians perform - Edmonton does have a thriving acoustic roots community.

Today a bunch of us are road-tripping it to Red Deer for the Waskasoo Bluegrass season kick off. Chris Stuart & Backcountry are in concert with opening act Black Lightning Bluegrass. Workshops in the afternoon beginning at 2:30. Concert at 7:00 PM

Eye of the Storm

Check out this cool picture: "Above the Eye of Hurricane Ivan" taken from the International Space Station. brought to my attention by Morpheus. I tried to add a comment to his site but the page looked like it kept timing out.

Also check out NASA's World Wind. It's a 3D engine that ..."allows any user to zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth, leveraging high resolution LandSat imagery and SRTM elevation data to experience Earth in visually rich 3D, just as if they were really there."

Lion's Breath

Last weekend I drove up to Bragg Creek for the fall FAMI workshop. It was a beautiful weekend to get together and be surrounded by music - I woke up to music, went to workshops and jammed and fell asleep to music. It was a good way to end the summer.

Last night I used the pass that I got from volunteering at the EFMF to take a yoga class at Lion's Breath Yoga Studio. I took a beginner Ashtanga class and had a good workout. The only thing is that after class I had a mixed feeling of tired and buzzed which meant I didn't fall asleep until after midnight. I feel very sleepy this morning :)
