Blue skies shining on me

tvordljThere's actually a partial blue sky up there this morning. May not last long but i think it will at least be warm and decent to see the ships after work and tomorrow. Coming across the bridge this morning, you could see the blue sky yet across the water was a blanket of cloud/fog sitting low. You could just see the tip of George's island and the stacks of the refinery peeking above it and the top half of a tugboat was eerily making it's way up the harbour. That's all burned off now though, but it was odd looking at the time. Problem is you just can't take a decent photo from the moving, bouncing bus. Great pic in this morning's paper which doesn't seem to be online. Shows the Picton Castle through the fog, you can just make out the ship and it probably wasn't taken from that far away either.
The replica of the Bounty was featured in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, standing in for a couple of different ships including one of the British ships and one of the Pirate ships in Tortuga. I think it was also used for one of the ships destroyed by the Kraken. Obviously not *the* one destroyed. She was also used for a hardcore porn film! The Bounty was built for the movie of the same name starring Marlon Brando in the early 60s though it was built a bit bigger scale than the original so there would be room for the cameras on board. The Picton Castle was the ship used for the reality show Pirate Master that's currently airing here. "you are *so* off the poopdeck" *snort*
Two elephants escaped a circus in Newmarket, Ontario yesterday. The electric fence failed and they figured it out and decided to go for a walk. Can you imagine the police dispatch calltaker's face? You saw what? two elephants... snacking on a tree. Yes? And you were sober? *really* (linky)
Ten Penny Ale, a locally made brew by Moosehead Breweries, is being discontinued. No great loss, i says. I know it's had a few fans over the years but damn few and as a result, i guess you could say one good thing about it. It was always the coldest beer in the fridge. It was horrible stuff. Just brutal. Another Moosehead product, Alpine, was nearly as bad. I don't know if they still make that either.
