To say that it was a bit breezy last night & today on Linda Island is an understatement! The rollers hurtling in from Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence River and banging our boats around took the ladder off our dock and yanked this rear cleat completely out of the dock. No boat damage though so all is well. Watch out down-river for a ladder!

subtilitas:

Juan Luis Martínez Nahuel - Recycled house, Panguipulli 2008. Materials were obtained from demolition sites, temporary exhibits, and other various locally found sources. Due to the narrow roads leading to the site, the house was constructed in modules that could be driven by a small truck. Via.

Love, love, love!!

Chris Cobb, an artist based in San Francisco, has created an amazing installation in bookshop called Adobe Books- he catalogued every single one of the 20,000 books by color. The project is titled There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World. They were arranged by hand over a 10 hour period, and he enlisted the help of 16 volunteers. Such beautiful results, they transformed the bookshop overnight.

I know, I know. Another nature time lapse video. But, I fell in love with this one. It reminds me of the woods around the house I grew up in. HT to @treehugger for sharing.

Theme song for this photo…

“There’s a green one and a pink one

And a blue one and a yellow one,

And they’re all made out of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same.”

(Malvina Reynolds) For a listen go here.

Near Laurelton, Queens, icy roads hampered these southbound motorists on the Belt Parkway on Jan. 9, 1969. Elsewhere on that day, while these poor souls were stuck in traffic, the Concorde took its first test flight and Led Zeppelin played at the Fillmore West in San Francisco.

From PSFK:

This vending machine is great for book lovers who can’t decide on their next read. Built by Craig Small for antiquarian bookshop The Monkey’s Paw in Toronto, the Biblio-Mat gives you a random old book when you insert $2. Sporting the claim of 112 million titles and no two alike, the Biblio-Mat offers customers a literary surprise that can vary widely in size and subject matter.

The sound of an old telephone bell and a clunk signal that the mystery book has been dispensed. The machine was created as a fun alternative to a bargain bin where customers can dig through discounted books. You can check it out in the video above.

Seriously awesome. And, Canadian! #IheartCanada

What Will It Take?:

nyt-agenda:

By JOHN M. BRODER

The thunderstorm and tornado swarms of early 2011, including the monstrous Joplin, Mo., disaster. Hurricane Irene, which inundated much of the Northeast. The worst heat wave in Russia in 1,000 years. Record-shattering heat and drought in much of the United States this year. The lowest level of Arctic sea ice ever measured. The melting of virtually the entire ice sheet of Greenland, something not seen in 30 years of satellite measurements.

And yet climate change is barely a blip on the political radar in this year’s campaign. Read more…

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! My aunt made this for me on my 1st birthday 30-something years ago and my family still hauls it out for me each year. Life’s pretty good. Here’s to another year of adventures….

A classic in honor of Julia Child’s 100th birthday. I love that she’s not perfect and never pretends to be. “Learn to cook — try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun.”

“There’s magic in that water and that water’s in our souls…” One of my most favorite songs from the best night of every year - Rock for the River. Thanks to Save The River, Jay and all of these incredible musicians for putting together a great night for a great cause. “Wash our sins away and make us whole.”
