Vinyl Records

In a small way, vinyl records are making a come back. I used to own some of these LP's when most of the artist were still alive.

This scene reminds me of my teenage days in Toronto's downtown on the Yonge Street strip. My two favorite record stores were Sam The Record Man and A&A's.

Better Late Than Never

Andy | Saturday, January 14, 2012 | | Best Blogger Tips

Yesterday we did get our first snow fall that had any significance to it. It did screw up the traffic. It did cause accidents, but it really was not a lot of snow. I went into my old bus driver senior citizen mode and decided not to venture outside. Of course this left me with no photos of the event. So this morning while it was still dark I captured this street scene from the window at the front of my house.

Looking Down On Lake Ontario

Andy | Wednesday, January 11, 2012 | Best Blogger Tips

Taken on January 7, 2012. Only the harbours and bays freeze over with ice in the winter while the lake water remains open. Normally the shoreline is covered in ice but this winter has been a mild one.
