Why make life easy when you can complicate it with all that nonsens. I like 39. That's when I stopped counting my age. Ha-ha. What a pity people have to be so superstitious.

And advice usually given when it's the hardest to take. I'm reluctant to dispense pithy advice here, but I do it to remind myself, too. I posted this photo because Georges kept apologising about the weather, but I wanted to prove to him that I can take photos in any weather. It can't be sunshine all the time, and yes it's a challenge to shoot in grey weather but you can always find something interesting. Anf, the love of the number 8 is especially evident in Vancouver, where you will often see two addresses for one property, one of the addresses incorporating as many '8's as possible. And phone numbers! Yeesh, just try getting one with an 8 in it... and custom automobile license plates with 8s? Forget it! Good advice but sometimes hard to take.
