Chantal Rousseau is such a slut, put her in front of a yacht and there she goes, ripping her clothes off.

I'm picturing that ship hoisting the 'bago on board, with a big -ass crane, and then sailing into the sunset.

Thank you L.M., you also forgot to mention the heels.

Is that sign from McKay Bros? They used to have one of those pneumatic tube things for sending messages around the store and they kept it running for many years...maybe even to this day. WAY cool.
- sally mckay 5-08-2009 2:40 pm


It's still there, but not in operation.

Is that sadly formless window display also at McKay Bros?
- M.Jean 5-08-2009 5:00 pm


No. That is my magical photo-editing.

(Rebecca and I liked it)
- L.M. 5-08-2009 5:28 pm


Well, I like it too, but precisely because it's sadly formless. It's a waif window.
- M.Jean 5-08-2009 9:52 pm


wow, that lady is really close to that boat.
mighty close.

augh.

I am very curious as to what that boat is doing at Owen Sound.

"For much of its history, Owen Sound was a major port city, known as the "Chicago of the North". Its location on Georgian Bay gave it access to the upper Great Lakes, and major rail lines moved cargo south from there. Port duties have declined dramatically since the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway allowed shipping directly to the lower lakes and dramatically lowered costs compared to transshipment via Owen Sound."

"The Algosteel sails under the management of Seaway Self Unloaders (partnership of Algoma Central and Upper Lakes Group). As part of this fleet, her cargo could include coal/coke, aggregate, slag, iron ore/oxides, salt, fertilizers, grain products, gypsum, quartzite, and sand. The Algosteel, like all S.S.U. vessels, is equipped with a DGPS (Digital Global Positioning System) precision navigation system."

"The modern updates should insure the Algosteel of a long and productive future ahead on the Great Lakes."

Photos of different ships coming in and out of Owen Sound harbor.

I guess they must sometimes truck stuff from there rather than boating-it all the way around to Toronto. Shows my ignorance, I'm surprised there are big ships in Georgian Bay.
