Noticed in Quebec City: a Wallace Fountain from Paris, and an exhibit about crowd density at the Musée de la civilisation

Official sounding hand painted signs I can think of (not many) are for very specific prohibitions. That may help date some. "No sliding" is beside the 1960s on ramp to the BiHi. A "no playing of sports in the rose garden" sign was in the SW corner of Fort Needham long after there was a rose.

At the launch of “The Undesirables” some old times jumped at the chance to help Katie locate the prison on a map.

Went to the Museum of Natural History. Saw a beautiful stone axe made a few thousand years ago by the Not So Recent People, and Gus who is old but not that old.

Slovens! The low slung heavy transport wagon of the 19th century.

Landmarks.

Took a short stroll in Bridgetown. Noticed: the Credit Union scamps reminds folks the big banks left; and a bus shelter on the site of the Strand cinema (where I saw Gone with Wind and Village of the Damned).

Beside the busy on ramp to the BiHi is a delightful little path. This afternoon I picked up garbage, because it deserves to look the best.

A paper plane. Cocktail for Anniversary #46.

I think slog was the idea. The experience might not be perfect, but it lasted a long time. 😛

Delightful! Here are chocolate bars I ate in the 1970s (and saved the packaging!)

Always interesting to see what turns up in the apartment building garbage room give away area. Two wheeled appliances today: a walker and a barbecue.

And lots other swell noticing opportunities in Fort Massey.

Stephen Archibald @cove17.bsky.social · Aug 28

Excited to see some, new to me, decorative cast iron in Fort Massey United.

Dramatic but not pretty, says @rockburnharbour

Thank you for your decade of service on this important matter.
