this and that

we've had a lot of construction
on our street since May of this year.
I think the construction is officially
over for the year, however
we still have these
suspicious numbers all over the sidewalks.
Who really knows what they mean?
when you walk along,
they seem quite random.

in unrelated news,
i stopped by Joe's Cow
recently. This lovely bovine
lives in front of the
Musee des beaux arts
here in Montreal.






and,
oh look,
the museum's Gift shop now
has a Link - so you can
shop online at the
Museum of fine arts!
