The Ganges vineyard on a late summer afternoon.

I’ll have one of your local farm, micro-roasted, non-fat lattes with about THIS MUCH whipped organic cream and some of that organic free trade cocoa and sugar. To go.

I drove home in my truck…

While looking through my archives for a particular image, I stumbled across this one. I thought it might give you a giggle, and in a way it’s timely…
I realized I completely forgot about the Driftwood’s annual A Day in the Life of Salt Spring which was (I think) shot one week ago today. How things change; there was a time I’d spend the equivalent of three working days on the Day in the Life project.
Does anyone know anything about this year’s project? See anyone out for the Driftwood?
Tim Duke’s 2004 F-350 was hand built for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. Street legal with economical 6 litre diesel, the truck has only driven 8000 KM. Tim was heading off island that morning where the truck would receive a custom interior.

Ganges Harbour
Thinking of picking up a sailboat? This one should keep you away from the dreaded ‘two-foot-itus‘ for a fair while. It’s 295 feet long; squeeze it on to your soccer field in the off season.
It’s probably for sale, most sailboats are. But remember, if you have to ask the price… In the meantime there’s a wealth of info about the yacht and its owner on the internet.
