Sherkston Beach In Canada

We went to Sherkston Shores resort today only to find that it costs $25. Luckily, I remembered the free beach called Elco Beach at the far end, and we parked there. Simply follow the directions on the Sherkston site and then continue using the map I made below.

image

In order to get to the free beach keep going past the sign for Sherkston Shores on Highway 3 and turn left at Wyldewood Rd. going toward the shore (left.) Simply drive to the end and you can park for the free beach.

The weather was cold and windy, but it was still fun. There is a fence dividing the free beach from the resort, however, the fence ends in the water and you can easily walk around it. We saw lots of people doing this all day. Here are Terry at Matthew divided by the fence.

image

It's kind of extreme having rich and poor beach goers divided by a fence, but I really can't think of a better alternative.

When it's sunny out the sidekick camera takes such nice colorful pics compared to the usual desaturated blurry ones that come out in low brightness. Check this one out from a time when there was full sun for five minutes.

image

I was really amazed by the ease of crossing at the border. They didn't even ask us for I'd, who's car it was or anything. Just, "Where are you going?," followed by, "ok."

On the way in it was just as easy, no passport, few questions, no search. Usually, I get harassed forever, I think, because I look arab.

e:peeps current status

Well, I finally own the domain name epeeps.net after a long drama with the wrong name being purchased [inlink]paul,1015[/inlink]

I guess this means I need to begin working on this latest project which will be the social networking engine behind elmwoodstrip.com. epeeps.net will also cater to people who want to social network on elmwoood but aren't into keeping a journal, as well as, those people who do keep a journal. epeeps.net will help people arrange parties, gatherings, meet-ups, find their friend's friends, and find out what to do while in town, all with a local connection.

There will also be a social calendar and peer based restaurant/establishment reviews. Pretty much anything that will help you plan your social life on elmwood.

Right now there is just this one picture. Go to epeeps.net for the full size pic. The image itself is made up of transparent layers of many of the current (e:peeps), some pictures of elmwood, and a network grid.

The Coop and Solid Ground

We ate at solid ground today. I ate a philly cheese steak, so if I get mad cow, it was either there or Gabriels Gate last week.

The coop sent more flyers out to request more members and donations to raisemoney for the move. I personally hope they don't move if they have to destory the home of the poor birds. See [inlink]matthew,270[/inlink] on matthews journal.

The Cutest Freaks in The World

image

Debate with me if you will but I think this "monster" is the cutest creature I have ever seen. I want to be the proud owner of a two-headed tortoise. It is much cuter than a two-headed baby [inlink]lilho,33[/inlink] which I never want. This is one situation where I feel gen-tech would be appropriate. Maybe I should engineer one.

I know it's fetishist and disgusting but I would like to paint with DNA if I would make this my pet.

Here is a two headed turtle, which is also cute, but is by no means as cute as a tortoise.

image

Here is our one headed tortoise [inlink]matthew,17[/inlink] that I love just as much as if he had two heads.

What do you guys think?

First Mobile Phone Virus

Sorry if you already read this, I had accidentally deleted it and needed to repost. New mobile phone virus has been found in Moscow. It targets bluetooth capable phones with the symbian opertaing system. The virus hops from phone to phone via bluetooth, so there is no need ot make a call. In a thick New York City or Tokyo crowd, it could spread like wildfire.

Here are some images I made of it. My images are better than their's. At least I think so.

Lunch with Mr. Garcia and Vistor Arrives

All of my entries are starting to get out of order because of my email outage this week. The email is finally back up but during that time, I had sent so many moblogs from my phone and they are all arriving now. This lunch actually happend on monday.

(e:chris) and I went out for lunch the other day at Jimmy Macs on elmwood. I had a really nice cranberry Vodka and a turkey burger. Mixed with the blue water on the table, the picture looks like some sort of overly nationalistic, american themed picnic.

image

Tommorrow, I will be going to Nonna's to do some gardening and then hanging out with Chris Albon for the afternoon as he is back in town for a visit.

Seafood Salad and Neighborhood Changes

We stopped at
what I consider to be the "new" tops of deleware and sheridan. It been
a while since I've been in the old neighborhood. Get this, Feel Rite is
gone. Hodown and I spent a long time working for them in the early to
mid 90s, I feel old now. See the pic, now there is just a Charter One
in its place. I think that was the only Health Food store where I've
bought acid. Crazy early 90s.

I also snagged a pic of my elementary school. While driving by I
realized I spent my entire life living only as far as one block from
elmwood. Lets just say it was the first "big street" I crossed as a
kid.

Matthew Rocks

I feel guilty sometimes that we haven't re-caned the rocking chair that makes (e:matthew) so happy.

Stickboy [inlink]stickboy,88[/inlink], I am a mafia prince, if you watch my back too long they will find you, right (e:mike) hahaha. This leads me to a great war story from Nonna [inlink]paul,558[/inlink].

SET: WWII NEAR VENICE
She told me that one time during WWII in Italy, her brother was bombed in a nearby and broke his back. She and her family were farm people living in rural Italy.

After a long stay in a military hospital she had him brought home so that she could take him to a venician hospital that specialized in bonecare. After she got there, via a multitude of transit methods (the train tracks were bombed out and he was in an almost full body cast) she was told they couldn't take him. She was really angered, first of all, because she had the proper paperwork and secondly because she said he would die within a day or two if they didn't take him and she couldn't turn around cause it would be impossible to get back.

Then she remembered her brother was police man in that area before the war and knew the police there. So she called them and told them the situation. They instructed her tell the people at the hospital that if they did not take her brother immediately, they would come down with machine guns and promptly kill everyone.

Needless to say he was taken by the hospital and received great care. His other sister, stayed there near the hospital for two years and worked as a house servant in order to have a place to stay and to take care of him. Now that's dedication.
