comments: we used another free pass from erin's hospitality thingy to go to the greater vancouver zoo today. i liked it! there's always that thought in the back of your head that these animals might be better off back in their homes. but to see them all doing their thing is pretty cool. expect lotsa wiggly animal links over the next while. like the linked caiman, or this iguana or this eland etc..

comments: today's lunch was really breakfast. but I ate no lunch later, so it's lunch too. erin and I tried this diner down at the very end of main street. past the cop shop, past the number 5 orange. it was pretty good. I'd rank it pretty much about the same as Nice Cafe. possibly better? but a bit more pricey. next time I go, I think I'll have the chicken fried steak! click to see a wiggly from that neighbourhood.

and erin had:

comments: it's been very wet here recently. rain today, rain yesterday, rain day before, and the day before that and... well... it was time I took my fancy umbrella in for repairs. this fancy umbrella breaks very easily, but they fix it for $5 everytime, so it ain't so bad. but this time they gave a loaner umbrella! who ever heard of that? click my lunch to see said loaner in action.
