The following is a relief map of Ridgefield, Connecticut constructed out of bread and lemons:



A friend created this in order to make clear the difficulty of getting to a concert venue in this town ...

"Truth" exhibit at the Ontario Science Center (yes, there were other childless grownups there too):



After being "sorted" (excuse the sidewaysness, Blogspirit is annoying this way):

A handful of Toronto pictures will be posted tomorrow.

While this post is disembodiedly posting itself, I am on the Amtrak Maple Leaf to Toronto, either taking pictures of the Hudson Valley, snoring, or listening to the SigOther laugh at me as I take out a copy of The God Delusion (the only copy in the entire Queens County library system!) for some nice leisurely reading.

I'll post pictures when I get back. Until then, go read someone else's blog. ;)
