What is the Sound of One Hand Typing?

So... my left hand is out of commission for a while, on account of being electrocuted this afternoon while working in Grand Bay. A boom truck hit some power lines while off-loading palettes of stone, and I was on the receiving end at the bottom of the boom's cable. It held me there for a few seconds while it put my insides through a blender, and then it threw me to the ground and blew a small hole through my right foot; the entry wounds are a series of small burns all over my left hand which have now blistered.

So, I lay on the ground shaking for a while before the ambulance carted me off and I spent the rest of the day in the hospital. Everything checks out though, so no worries. And I didn't really mind... it was too hot to be laying stone anyway:)

Bug II

I was working in Fredericton all day today. There was this massive oak tree on the property, full of caterpillars. Ever seen a caterpillar up close and personal? They look like this:)

Found this moth on my lawn chair when I went out on the deck this morning. At first glance I thought it was a piece of moss or bark from a tree. It flew away before I could get a better shot of it. Weird little critter though eh?

Ben & Christina, 07/07/07

This weekend Benjamin Porter married Christina McInerney; I attended high school and university with them both, and it was marvellous to see them hitched after all these years:)The happy couple at their outdoor reception, which was beautiful.

Berrypalooza!

Early this morning Ruth and I fell in with a troupe of migrant workers on a strawberry field in the countryside (otherwise known as a u-pick:). We gathered ten boxes and spent most of the day's remainder in various sundry berry-related activities. And this evening, while discussing Mere Christianity with some friends of ours (if you haven't read it, read it), we greatly enjoyed generous helpings of fresh strawberry shortcake.
