This weeks theme is Original

marinemural

This is a photo that my wife took a year or so ago. We were driving in downtown Toronto along Lakeshore BLVD and I believe this mural is painted on the side of the Redpath sugar refinery building.

It’s a gigantic mural. The building is at least 100 feet tall and 50 feet wide if not even bigger and the mural covers the extent of one whole side of the building. It’s beautiful!

If that’s not original I don’t know what is!

Massive burger

Wordless Wednesday

bigburger

That has to be one of the biggest burgers that I’ve ever seen! We have a place here in Toronto called Dangerous Dan’s and they make a huge burger too. I think it’s called the colossal burger or the colon buster, but I think it’s a bit smaller than the thing in this guys hands.

Look at it! It’s bigger than the guys head, and I don’t think that’s a small guy.

The paper towels and the pitchers of water I can understand but I’m still trying to figure out the helmet.

Could he be wearing it just in case he gets so full he passes out? Concussion protection?

Single college moose seeks fun, attractive moosette

A moose that wandered onto the Northern Michigan University campus and broke a dormitory window might have been looking for love in all the wrong places.

City police chased the animal away one evening last month after the incursion at Magers Hall, Detective Capt. Mike Angeli said. It was unclear whether the moose got inside the building.

“It’s not unusual for a moose to do something like this now,” said Dean Beyer, a Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist who has an office at Northern Michigan. “We’re in the middle of the mating rut right about now.

“Moose, especially a young bull moose, will move long distances,” he said. “They could be searching for a cow to mate with, or simply be a young bull dispersing after being chased away from its herd and looking for a new home range.”

We’ve had experience with moose wandering over to our cottage and looking in the windows, but none have ever managed to get inside. Moose are huge animals, I certainly wouldn’t want one wandering around my rooms, particularly if it were rutting season.
