Reflection on the Wall
January 30, 2008
I am not sure if my SNB calender is unique, or if other people have noticed that it casts a strange reflection on the wall:
Hmmm. Now what does that look like? A flower, a butterfly, a bird, or perhaps a v*gina? I’m thinking the latter, it is a knitting calendar after all… (I put the little star in there so hopefully no one searches for naked ladies and gets disappointed with this site instead. The ladies on this site are rather heavily dressed in parkas).
Next week I’m probably going to Regina Sask. for a business trip. I used to get a huge kick out of saying “Regina” to my male Utah colleagues. They really, really, wanted me to pronounce it “Regeena”, but no, it is pronounced “RegIna” and it rhymes with the reflection on the wall up there. I said it loud, and I said it proud last year when I went to Regina to give a paper, and those men were so utterly uncomfortable! They went red, they looked away, they left. Oh, what fun you can have in Utah…
This morning we had a fog of ice crystals in the air due to the extreme cold here in Calgary. I took a photo of the sunrise, and of the resulting sun dog? I’m not quite sure what the correct term is for the rainbow halo at the edge of the fog I saw this morning.
I was going to post a progress report on my EPS today, but if I wait until tomorrow hopefully I’ll have the colour band around one wrist to make it more exciting. Currently it is still a wool tube top and wrist band. But it continues to grow…
Stay warm everyone, and Mum and Dad stay cool you rotters!
Calgary seems to be full of mysterious lights. Spoooooky!
Well, aside from the obvious v* word, the reflection also reminds me of a stingray.
Yes, “sun dogs.” Very cool that you got to see them, and that they were so big, too! I usually saw them whilst driving across frozen prairie highways, in the dead of winter, on sales trips to… Regina! Cool that you’re going there as well. Some very nice people I know live in that neck of the woods. Enjoy!
It looks like the creature from the film The Abyss that flew through the water.
OMG! My 365 days of Knitting Patterns had that pattern this week! haha, I had to take a pic.
You know it’s cold if you’re seeing sun dogs. It’s like nature’s way of saying, “Yes, it’s stinking cold, but look at the pretty I can make in the sky!”
