Oops. Someone tried to get this truck under the Greenway Bike Trail Bridge by Lake of the Isles. It didn’t fit. Usually people hit the brakes and get stuck under the bridge; not this guy — he made it clear through to the other side!

I reminds me of how a three-year-old opens a Christmas present.

I finished up a new website yesterday for Donna Chicone. She’s a local TV host of “The Dog Show.” She’s a real sweetie and a delight to work with. I haven’t met her co-host Jazz yet, but he seems to have full run of the show. The site has a lot of features, video, audio, photo galleries and an active menu. It’s all built with CSS and XHTML — I’m pretty proud of it. Take a look if you get a chance and let me know what you think of it.

You can see the split bridge crossing the pond in front. I always have to cross it when I visit the garden, I think evil spirits are supposed to get stuck on the bridge, I guess evil spirits aren’t able to turn corners over water, must be a feng-shui thing.

Love this stuff, looks so surreal doesn’t it?

Milfoil harvester

What the? Yep, it’s a milfoil harvester. Eurasian water millfoil is an invasive plant that is running amok on our lakes. There’s no way to get rid of it than to pull it up.

So the Parks Department has these… things… that harvest it.

And now for something completely different…

This Uptown/Lyn-Lake institution is being subjected to change. There’s a new apartment building being assembled just East of it (you can see the scaffolding center). It’s new and exciting, but I’ll miss the previous building, a creepy gas station that sold milk by the “Galon”, I guess the extra “L” got in the way… for years. Let that be a lesson to you young-uns — learn to spell or they’ll knock you down and build luxury full-amenity apartments in your place.
