So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
If your life is a leaf / that that the seasons tear off and condemn They will bind you with love / that is graceful and green as a stem — Leonard Cohen, Sisters of Mercy |

Well, mother nature pulled a fast one on us this weekend.
After enduring 27 days of rain in a row, Sunday was to be the big one; the record setting 28th.
I woke up in the morning to a glorious sun filled sky, with not a drop of rain to be seen. A trip to North Vancouver was in order, for my first Honey’s doughnut in over 6 months. Yum.
Lynn Canyon was next; that bridge is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and a little part of me is there. A great day to walk the trails out the back.
At this point I’m worried: still no rain. Nonetheless back to home for some aimless wandering around Kerrisdale and small item shopping until nightfall, at which point I settled into reading, cleaning up my small place and watching a bit of TV.
And then it happened.
2200hrs came, with less than 0.2mm of precipitation having fallen.
This means the current record stands, and Vancouver returns to normal…waiting for rain.
In one of those cruel twists of fate that nature often deals, it is — of course — pouring rain today.
