Oscar is old. He's slowing down. He has a "thing" on his head we need to get removed. I don't like doing the math but he's, you know..... old. So maybe more pictures of a cat than usual. I like the old guy.

There is a lushness and green-ness that creeps in all over Vancouver. And flowers. And secret gardens.

I own things that are older, but not many. It still have pennies in it. It's not particularly hard to crack this safe. You can shine a flashlight through the coin slot in the top and look through the little holes in the back that you might have used to secure it to a wall and you can watch the two discs turn so the flat spot aligns with the tab that holds the door closed. That's if you're being crafty. If you tug on the handle a bit while turning the dial, you can feel the ticks as the combination hits the right numbers.
I still remember the original combination. Two numbers. My father changed the combination on it once. I can't remember why, but I wanted it to be changed. I think he popped the dial off and stuck it back on in a different position. There's well over 200 pennies in there. The newest one I could find was from 1984. The oldest from 1942. Time machines. That penny was minted in the middle of WWII. It was probably in circulation until about 1984 when I put it in that safe. 2025. It's an 83 year old penny, and it's spent most of it's time in that little tin box.
I don't know what any of that means. But tomorrow's photo is probably going to be of an old penny.
