A view looking south of Gordon Street taken from the Veteran's Walkway, a pedestrian bridge over the road. Gordon Street is the main road through Guelph which happens to have five names. As you enter the city from the south on Highway 6 it becomes Brock Road, then Gordon Street, then Norfolk Street, then Woolwich Street and finally Highway 6 again which leads north to Fergus. I'm not quite sure what the rationale was for this unique naming system.
Gordon the Meerkat has lived with us for over 25 years. He's the real boss of the house.
We've not had a snake in the house since he's been with us ;-)

A favorite Gordon Lightfoot song. I met him way back when. Wonderfully talented singer/songwriter.
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Rainpools in the woodland water to my knees
Shivering quivering the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Catbirds and cornfields daydreams together
Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes
Reveling, disheveling the summer nights can bring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Slanted rays and colored days stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheat bins hazy afternoons
Voicing rejoicing the wine cups do bring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Harsh nights and candlelights wood fires a-blazin'
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring remembering the promise of spring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses

Build in 1798, the Gordon House is the oldest building that was built in Amherstburg, Ontario. It faces the Detroit river and a Scottish merchant named George Sharp. The Gordon House historical society was trying to create a replica of the H.M.S. Detroit that fought in the War of 1812. Unfortunately the project did not succeed.
1999 marks the third time in my life when I picked up the photography bug. Armed with a new Canon FTb to replace one lost in a fire, I was out photographing again.
Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 1999.

A veritable cornucopia of power awash in an emerald sea of Kudzu. A724 is on the siding at Alaga. The lumps of Kudzu are probably railfans who stood still too long.

Wembley again and this time (22/04/2023) it was the occasion of the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Sheffield Utd. The Blades weren't sharp enough and lost 3-0.
THE GORDON
by Tony Marshall (published in the Isetta Gazette September 1980)
In this article we travel back in time to the mid-fifties. Every enthusiast of British motor cycles must surely be familiar with the magnificent shaft driven Sunbeam machines, often described as the 'Rolls Royce' of the motor cycle world. how many of them are aware, though, that there was a three wheel car that was related, albeit in only a minor way, to those Sunbeams? The link that provides the connection between bike and car is the designer. Erling Poppe became well known for his design of the Sunbeam S7, but his attempt at making a three wheel car went almost unheralded. "And no wonder," you may exclaim when I tell you that the car was the Gordon.
Like many small cars of the period, the Gordon was manufactured by a company that had been hitherto completely unconnected with any aspect of vehicle manufacture. In this instance it was Vernons Industries of Liverpool, whose main claim to fame was, and still is, the football pools. The origin of the name 'Gordon' seems to have been forgotten in the mists of time that have elapsed since ten.
When the Gordon was announced at the beginning of 1954, it was to join the already established makes of Bond, Reliant, A.C.Petite, and, like them, it was of fairly conventional car shape, but with only one front wheel. The chassis was basically a two inch section tubular backbone, and on this was mounted an open body constructed of aluminium at the front and rear 'ends', with a centre section of 'Zintec' steel sheet. The front end, which looked as if it housed the engine, was empty apart from the steering assembly, batteries, petrol tank, and the enormous front wheel. There was only one door, and this on the left. It was not possible to fit a drivers door as the lower portion of the space normally allocated to such items was the mounting point for the engine. Fitted low down, it did not intrude much on interior space since it was placed partially outboard, and covered with a bulging metal panel. From here, the drive was by chain to the offside rear wheel.
Prototype models were two seaters, but by the time the car went on sale in April 1954, the body had been altered to accommodate two sideways facing hammock seats in the back for children, and the hood was extended to that it stretched from the windscreen right to the rear of the car, rather like a marquee!
The bodywork was of angular styling with flat panels and squared off corners. The size of the vehicle was quite considerable, being ten feet two inches in length and four feet nine and a half inches wide, though of course the engine and its cover contributed to much of the width.
The power for this 'incredible hulk' came from a Villiers 8E/R two stroke engine of only 197cc, with three forward gears and a reverse. There was an electric starter which turned the flywheel by belt, quite an unusual arrangement, but one which was shared by the Bond Minicar Mark 'C', which had the same engine.
Probably the most attractive feature of the Gordon was the price. It cost £269.17.9d including purchase tax. This made it considerable cheaper to buy than any other car on the market at that time.
Surprisingly, perhaps, it was reported in contemporary roadtests that the uneven weight distribution, even with only a driver in the car, did not really affect the handling, not that the single rear wheel drive was not a cause for concern. In fact, most testers seem to have been impressed by the comfort and performance of the Gordon.
The makers drove one from Lands End to John O' Groats as a publicity exercise, and claimed to have covered 1937 miles using only 31 gallons of petrol, approximately 62.5 mpg. One continuous run of 24 hours covered 546 miles, and another stretch produced a fuel consumption of 69 mpg.
Taken all in all, the Gordon was quite successful, and continued in production until 1957, by which time a deluxe model was on offer, boasting two tone paint, modified body trim, and white wall tyres!
Today, the Gordon is rare. One is in the Surrey Micro Car Collection. Only one other is known at the time of writing (1980).

Thursday night, students in their undies take over the UA Mall. The people playing soccer and rugby were shooed out of the way by a near birthday suit wearing stampede of college aged people. As an ice breaker for homecoming, hundreds of students signed up to run a round trip between Campbell and Park, starting on the UA Mall.

"Did you hear that?" (No, Half-Life 3 not confirmed)
Wow, we're into the final third of the year and frankly speaking I'm quite amazed at myself for being able to keep this 365 project going for so long, especially when I'd been overseas twice. If you're still unaware, every Lego photo that I've posted here was created on the same day that I uploaded it - absolutely no throwbacks - and if I've missed a day then it makes things doubly difficult for me because I then have to churn out two ideas in one day. I don't think I've worked this hard consistently since...Basic Military Training.
I've updated my Redbubble store, and will continue to do so over the next few days, with popular shots and personal favourites that would be printed on some pretty cool stuff. Like a laptop skin. Or a pillow. Or a simple notebook. Check them out at redbubble.com/people/mortpenguin. I don't earn much from the sales, and any purchase from you guys would be greatly appreciated! :) Onwards to the final 115 days!
