next 2005/07 ― In Vermilion, Alberta, Raymond had the pleasure to meet Mike Hall from the TV show Rust Valley Restorers. We were looking at old cars. This red 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air was my favorite.
A Kronosaurus
next 2025/06 ― This terrifying apex predator is a kronosaurus. Think of it as a giant crocodile head on the body of a whale. It has been in Villa de Leyva, Colombia for over 100 million years! Rather than to move this fossil, a museum was built on top of it.
The Harp
next 2025/05 ― I wish I had taken music in high school. I would have learned about the instruments in an orchestra. Well, I got a rare opportunity to sit behind a harp. It has 47 strings. The red strings produce the note C and the blue strings produce the note F. The strings play […]
Trèfle atout !

Bubble Tea
next 2025/02 ― I could not decide whether I should have a hot or a cold Pearl Milk Bubble Tea at the Chun Shui Tang restaurant in Taichung, Taiwan. So, I ordered one of each. Why not? After all, this is the very restaurant that invented these innovative tapioca-based drinks. Both drinks were delicious!
A Bird in Hand
next 2025/01 ― The adage says: “A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.” Here I have a bird in each hand and there is another on the bench―just because I was not about to put seeds on my head. To sum it up, if my calculations are correct, two birds in hand […]
Triceratops are Tops
next 2024/12 ― In my mind, rhinos are as cute as a button, and I always go out of my way to visit dinosaurs in museums. Drawing from the best of both worlds, the most endearing creature would have to be the triceratops, the rhino-like dinosaur. Long live the―oh! never mind!
