YYZ sculpture

This large sculpture in the international departures section of YYZ was kind of like large metal pieces of onion skin. Little kids were running laps inside it.

Also at YYZ, I saw Miss Teen Canada 2007. How did I know? Because she was walking through the airport in her sash (and an evening dress, followed by three people with her baggage).


This post's theme word: paraprosdokian, "a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe the first part." Like garden-path sentences.

Morocco pictures

I shall post some here shortly. Or maybe I'll drag it out. It seems that, either through a camera or [more likely] computer problem, some of the pictures were corrupted. That matches my feeling about the trip pretty accurately, so they might get posted anyway.
