So much cloud and rain that it is twilight at 0730.  I have been trying to reach out to friends in Calgary and Canmore to ensure that they are alright in light of all the flooding there.  Any of you who read this who are from that area, please let me know that you are OK.

Just talked to my friend Debby in Canmore.  The internet is amazing.  Even with monsoon here and flooding there, it was like she was in the next room.  She is safe as is her husband and son in Calgary.  Thank god.

Amazing what small place earth has become.  When Marshal McLuhan called us a global village, he had no idea what the internet would do.  Today I found out about flooding in India from my friend Debby who is half way round the world sitting in Alberta.

Power out again, so while I was sitting in my hammock chair reading, I caught a shot of Lulu, my neighbour's dog.

You can see how big he is by looking at his owner's legs behind the plant.  He is not fixed either.  People here don't seem to believe in neutering their animals, especially the males.
