Phone On The Wind

The vintage rotary-dial wall phone is in the Labyrinth Healing Garden in Port Moody. It's not connected because words spoken into it are meant to flow into the wind — giving the phone its name. (Ben Nelms/CBC); CBC: How an unconnected telephone in a B.C. park is helping people mourn lost loved ones

As we sit here together in this space, it is hard to believe that there is another dimension in which we're moving apart at the speed of light.

Around The Lake Give 'R Take 30K

Had a blast running around Cultus Lake Chilliwack yesterday doing Around the Lake 30K. So much fun racing with others. A beautiful course with some good climbs; it was soggy and overcast but not raining on us. 18.7 miles 4,600 feet 3:51:06. The Garmin track went wonky in parts, most obvious in the elevation profile. Results.
