Traditional Values

Isn't it all about keeping up with tradition?

Brokeback Mountain Laundry Apartment

Brokeback Mountain Laundry Apartment, originally uploaded by Timothy State.

Fort Macleod, Alberta. Just moments before stumbling on this, Lorne and I were saying how funny it would be to find the apartment and reenact the scene, and asking a local to hold the camera. Then low and behold, we stumble on the location.

No, we're not a boy band. We're gay tourists looking for the Brokeback Mountain Locations.

Vulcan Bill

Some Vulcan Treky Society marks up the Canadian Five Dollar Bill. Then, if you get one of these bills, it's supposed to mean good luck.

How about them goats?

Travelodge Still Life

While Lorne was walking Molly, I realized just how trashy drinking wine from a Travelodge cup was. So I quickly threw together this still life that seems to tell the story of a Travelodge night.

This is the shot of the day. Notice the pocket knife we had to purchase at a truck stop to cut our gourmet cheeses. We also needed the woman behind the counter to show us how it worked.

This Dog Belongs to a Gay

Lorne left me in the restaurant, saying that he had to feed the dog. When I finished and came out, this is what I stumbled upon. One word: Gay.

Canadian Goose in Wawa

The Wawa Goose stands at the intersection of Highway 17 and Highway 101 to commemorate the completion of the Trans-Canada Highway. Some form of this goose has stood at the intersection since 1960.

Parts of the Lake Superior shore remind me of the Pacific Northwest. Particularly on this day.

Molly Enjoys the Sights

At one point, Lorne admitted he had no idea how to work the GPS system. Molly had little concern, but enjoyed the ride.

Lake Superior Provincial Park

The weather yesterday was cold. Very cold. Close to freezing or just below freezing. It snowed most of the day, and the other part of the day it rained. Still, we were able to get out and see some amazing sights.

World's Largest Baseball

World's Largest Softball, originally uploaded by Timothy State.

We were a little underwhelmed by the World's Largest Baseball. It was, in no way, in the same league as the World's Largest Coin. But, I do have to admit, it is much more impressive in the photograph.

Lorne and I stopped to eat. We had to purchase a pocket knife at a truck stop so we could cut our gourmet cheeses. We had to have the woman behind the counter at the truck stop who us how to use the knife.

Sunglasses: Check

Lorne and I had to get sunglasses. We went to Sunglass Hut, but all they had cost about the same as a car payment. We found these in American Eagle for $15 Canadian.

Go-Go Guy's Girlfriend

        After tipping one of the hottest go-go boys ever, and as I made my way back to my bar stool, I pass a blonde girl. She stops me.
        "You know that's my boyfriend," she says, the glow of jealous rage radiates from her eyeballs. I know this look intimately; I've seen it in Scorpian eyes.
        "Oh," I said. "Ahh, you're very lucky."
        She steps back, surprised. "I know." She flips her hair. "I know."
        "If I were you," I said, "I'd make him do 100 push ups every day. Before breakfast. In his underwear."
        "I do. I do." She nodded, the idea planted like a seed in her head, soon to be drown by the cocktail she is washing away the day with.

Listen to Your Heart

Wow. These boys have some time on their hands.

Love Haiku

He would not know it
If love were a two by four
And clobbered his head

"How do you defend yourself against a dildo?" HYSTERICAL.
