Drove downtown in the rain just to check out the late night donut shops....

There are no late night record shops in Vancouver.

I had to be crazier than Brian. There is only room enough for one crazy person in Brian's head, and that's got to be me. I have to be the ultimate power in this situation. ... I said he had to get out of bed and start living a normal life, and he said, "Make me." How do you make a guy get out of bed after so long? Explain it to him first? No. You throw water on him first. That's just what I did. I warned him, and then threw water on him and he got up - Dr. Landy on working with Brian Wilson.

 This one is for my kid to figure out. It works, probably. At least that's what the tape on the suitcase it was in said.

 I got this old Underwood working.

 Game 1. Boston with an early lead. They won, 5-1. Leafs are up to their usual playoff strategy of looking terrible and probably going out in the first round. Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me 8 seasons in a row, maybe it's time to move on.

I almost made it through the entire season without a single cherry blossom picture. But the season is running long this year. Old habits...

Spring is near.

 I've been here before. Different focal length, different lens. And the house has continued to rot. Yet, it's still there. The lot is worth over a million dollars. The lot next door is vacant. There's a housing crisis in Vancouver. This doesn't help.

 It was solar eclipse day. I saw one once. I thought about going to this one. It would have meant a drive to Newfoundland. The fringes were viewable from many places, but totality is what you want. Instead I stayed in Vancouver. And it rained. All day. Like it was December, it rained. Apparently it was clear in Newfoundland, but it would have been so bad if I drove that far and faced the same skies we got in Vancouver. 

So I'll make a joke about taking a photo of the partial eclipse, which you couldn't see, because of the clouds and rain. Which is a way of saying, "I didn't take a photograph today."

The next solar eclipse will be in 2026 and viewable in Iceland, Greenland, Spain, and parts of Portugal. That's a long way to drive... 

The one after that crosses northern Africa. 

No picture today. But the world was full of pictures today. So there's that.
