Dancing

The description below I got from NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day site. I felt they summed it up this interesting video perfectly. Make sure you watch it with sound.

What are these humans doing? Dancing. Many humans on Earth exhibit periods of happiness, and one method of displaying happiness is dancing. Happiness and dancing transcend political boundaries and occur in practically every human society. Above, Matt Harding traveled through many nations on Earth, started dancing, and filmed the result. The video is perhaps a dramatic example that humans from all over planet Earth feel a common bond as part of a single species. Happiness is frequently contagious — few people are able to watch the video below without smiling.

Backus Mill

Port Rowan, Ontario

We spent the day last weekend at Backus Mill in Port Rowan Ontario.  This is a very photogenic place with a working grist mill open to the public.  Only after spending the day there did we also realize there is also a small heritage village open to the public as well (duh!).  Oh well, just means we will have to go back again!

One (1) Acme Train Show in a Box

Bound for California!

Hiding under all that orange is the Fast Tracks train show display.  If the gods are smiling on us, it will actually show up in Anaheim looking somewhat similar to this picture.  Right now it is on a truck somewhere between Southern Ontario, and Anaheim, California.  (please be on a truck somewhere between Southern Ontario, and Anaheim, California…)

If you would like to see what is under the tarp, ship yourself to Anaheim next week and have a look!  We have a few exciting things up our sleeves for this years show…

If you can’t make it, fear not, I will be doing the annual Train Show post here once we get back.
