The stars, at night

The old Granada Theatre has been repurposed as an event center; the set-up for an upcoming event took on a magical glow from the sparkly chandelier, the softly draped tablecloths, and those stars.

And because there’s a certain song stuck in my mind, I’ll share it with you so you can have it stuck, too!

Ventilation

Those of us from Texas have a hard time imagining a summer without air conditioning; a set up like this one would just never work at all.

I can wait here, if you want to pour 2 ounces of wine (or anything, really)  into a large-ish wine glass.

When you come back, we can laugh at the false promises in this ad.

But if you don’t want to conduct that experiment, we can go ahead and discuss why that man in the ad is holding two glasses of wine and why his torso seems to be extraordinarily long.

Another shot from my visit with Ehpem, who showed me all the best places in Victoria.

I live on the plains. We don’t have many trees. And no oceans, of course. I really just can’t get my head around how much power the ocean has, that it can toss these logs around the way it does. I’d sort of like to see it happen. (From somewhere that’s warm and dry, of course.)
