The inner sea Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog

Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").

It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!

The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

Note: this random entry is served on a per-visit basis and will change if you reload the page. It will also not show up on regular RSS, Feedburner and Twitter feeds.

   Vintage! This is a random post. The year was 2007...

In a last minute miracle, category 5 hurricane Dean slammed into a sparsely populated area of the Yucatan, as the most intense Atlantic storm to make landfall in the last two decades! I think even Stace down in Belize is ok, or at least I hope so. Stace, are you there? Little Cayman suffered minor damage, some docks have been washed away by the storm surge. Bis repetita. Grand Cayman seems to have suffered more on the East End, probably from the seas too, the counterclockwise spinning storm having passed south of the island...

The overall of the site is almost complete. Most galleries have been upgraded with Lightbox 2 for a more uniform look; I’m still working on the entry page. I’ve just been playing with a few HDR photos but nothing came out of them and I just couldn’t resolve myself to post them. I’m too distracted. A new day is dawning to the East. Fall seems upon us. At last. Great things are in the making, the kind legends are made of. Dragons and skeletons are flying around me on a daily basis, but so are fairies and magicians. Abe is bored. The Vancouver colors have dimmed temporarily, it seems, but the orange hues of fall are still too far into the future...

As so often noticed, time recoils on itself, seemingly slowing down to a halt before snapping forward like a snake in action. It’s the calm before the storm, except the storm will be welcomed. It’s a time for pacing back and forth. But the ride matters as much as the destination. Every minute should be enjoyed. I’m so distracted...

    « Somehow the image of a snake, pausing before striking, then the actual and decisive contact...involving as it does, if successful, a bite that penetrates the skin, is very...compelling? »

    Dear Marie, remember the garden of Eden.

    « ...crystalline drop of blood sparkling on bared fang:

    The Garden of Eden, eh? Well, apart from the fact that the crap is being bombed out of it as we speak...

    Oh, that snake. He was a pussy-cat. And a vegetarian. And paradise is over-rated.

    :-))) »

It seems I went from looking out my back porch to the Caribbean Sea, to overlooking the immensity of Lake Superior. The fact that the temperature has dropped by about 50 degrees notwithstanding, the two bodies of water are surprisingly similar in their moods and many changing faces.

Here looking out from the balcony of the apartment towards the East, as the sun bravely tries to brake through the clouds and shines on the calm mist still lingering on the surface...
