This is the post I wrote about old cars being found in even older barns, for the Ontario Barn Preservation newsletter, January 2023. Cars in Barns Are “Barn Finds” I like to photograph old buildings, farm houses and barns included. I’ve met a lot of people who also have an interest in old places. Not … Read more
I routinely get rid of plugins and themes I’m not using. At this point I only use GeneratePress, so dealing with themes is as simple as not doing anything, I just have one theme and it updates itself. If you have found one theme you like working with, get rid of the rest. Including the … Read more
This is not a review, just a list. I haven’t decided which of these to even load up and try first. But, here for your amusement or practical use, are the plugins I have found for the idea of selling my photographs online, on my own site instead of Etsy, CafePress, and any other similar … Read more

Did you ever play the Mousetrap game? It’s based on the idea of making a convoluted contraption to catch a mouse. The part of the game I most remember is watching all the parts of the machine work one after the other (like all those rows of dominoes people construct) to end up catching the … Read more
The following is posted from the site I found many years ago and lost track of eventually. I have not changed spelling or anything else. But, I did not save all the image files. You can see the full site, as long as the Wayback Machine keeps it saved. I could not find the original … Read more
Bumbling Along is (so far) the only Canadian link I have found. I’m hoping to find more but.. there are two main sites which have world wide links and resources. Atlas Quest Letterboxing.org Letterboxing is a outdoor recreational activity which combines collecting, puzzle-solving, and treasure hunting. Briefly, letterboxing enthusiasts hide and hunt weatherproof containers in … Read more
