DIY in YYC: The Book Edition - Calgary's Little Free Libraries Continue to Sprout
As a kid I was always astounded by what seemed to be an incredible generosity among corner-store clerks: “Take a Penny, Leave a Penny,” the little plastic tray would encourage, gleaming with copper pieces (sometimes even a nickel!). Seen through the eyes of a little kid who has just enough change clutched in her sticky fingers to get a grab bag of jujubes and sours, this was a social project that worked. If you needed it, you could take it. If you had extra…you could help me on my way to one more sour soother.

Hatching a West End Pigeon Family
A little more than a week ago I shared the news of BalconyPigeon.com, a wonderful new webcam of a pigeon couple tending to their eggs on a West End balcony . It was set up by my friends James and Ceone and I was fortunate to view the nest with my own two eyes yesterday. Apparently pigeon eggs hatch within 14 to 21 days after they’re laid, so we can expect to see some fuzzy feathers in the next few days.
