Depending on the conditions, it's possible to paddle into broken ice but it's not without risk to paddle or canoe. When the water temperature is at freezing, and the air temperature is below, ice will inevitably form on both the hull of the canoe and paddles. The added weight affects the performance of both (detrimentally) as the canoe can gain an extra 20-50 lbs and sit lower in the water. Paddles get heavy, slippery and are harder to use.
After a week of extreme mud and mess, the footings have been excavated.
Seems there's enough clay to open a pottery!
Roll on Monday when the concrete arrives.
News Flash!
While the gale has been blowing, the rain torrential and the night as black as coal, my dog fell down the newly dug footings for our extension.
Down into a huge water filled trench of mud and clay.
Guesse who had to scramble in to lift her out??? Not my husband!
The poor wee dog was trembling and up to her belly in freezing water. Both dog and I were in dire need of a hot bath and sympathy!!

Digging to get access to the other side of the duct work in a dirt crawlspace with an entrenching shovel
Work continues this year on the University Link light rail tunnels. This photo shows the gantry cars lined up and connected to the tunnel boring machine that is being re-assembled to dig the northbound tunnel between Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle. The gantry cars carry several items including the electrical transformer for the TBM, grout tanks and pumps and utility piping. U-Link tunneling will be completed in 2012 with passenger service expected in 2016.

Harvesting cockles at the shores of Bayan Mutiara Penang. They get their cockles fresh from the muddy beach, preparing for the lunch feast.
I always worry for contamination in the cockles, cases of lead and mercury(heavy metal) poisoning are very rare - but something to be alert of. Twenty years ago, this was in the middle of the sea. This shore is part of a reclaimed land that become Bayan Mutiara.

Be careful what you wish for, we got the big snow storm that I wanted and a bit more... 21 inches worth! For the first time in 27 years I missed a shift because of weather. Good thing, it snowed harder this afternoon than I can remember including the blizzard of '93. I would be stranded at the tower... without beer :-)
This was after the 2nd shoveling !
Work to build a permanent Sounder train station in Tukwila includes construction of a new parking lot by contractor Absher Construction; the parking lot should open in December. New train platforms nearby are being built in phases to allow uninterrupted passenger service. The project is slated for completion next spring.
I was fascinated to watch how these reed bees were able to shove their way into the Gompholobium flowers. They just kept forcing their little heads between the wings to access the pollen presenter within. It looked like a very arduous task and took this little lady several minutes to complete her task. At one point she looked well and truly stuck in there! Thankfully her persistence paid off and she was able to free herself. Here we have a good shot of her beehind sticking out, so I will include it for Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday! [Colo, NSW]

Mrs WJ's video of the digging sand wasp. She sounds like a high pitched hammer drill (the more continuous droning are Green Eyed Flower Bees, the low frequency sound is the lens stabiliser)
VERY TOXIC
mayapple is poisonous except for the fruit (lemon taste), which is generally eaten by animals; low hanging fruit, for real! Flowers in may, fruits in summer.
The poison (concentrated in the tubers ~4%) acts as a laxative, wart (topically), and cancer/tumor treatment (precursor to a few western cancer treatment drugs).
My best guess for starting dosage is ~600mg. If I test this I would start even lower. Do not eat this!
aka american mandrake, Podophyllum peltatum

Do not get killed being stupid! VERY TOXIC!
