Puppets and Sandstorms

I just saw "Puppet Death Scenes" at the Banff Centre with my friend Peggy, who works there so she got me a free ticket. It was basically a selection of death scenes from different plays, using a lot of the original puppets. It was a kind of comedy/tragedy thing that I'm not going to attempt to describe, but if it was not already sold out, I'd try to see it tomorrow as well. The four puppeteers all had thick beards.

On the way back, cycling over Bow Bridge there wind suddenly picked up, blowing dust into my eyes, and when I stopped I took some photographs of the sky. It was about ten o'clock so the sun was just touching the mountains and you could see the rain coming in.

The first two are of Mt. Rundle and the second is Cascade, which you can see all the way down Banff Ave.




Also, this guy is the crazy (hence the blurring) keyboardist who was at the open mic night at Bruno's on Wednesday. He was fantastic.


And last night I ate raw octopus and salmon caviar at the sushi train, where they actually had a proper train set with two engines running round the track. I enjoyed it, as well.

I keep getting mosquito bites though. They itch.
