Quite possibly the hardest working retiree in the Yukon. He does more over morning coffee than you will do all day. True story. Or not.
So cold the BMO clock froze (pic taken at 5:51)

Chico would like to thank everyone who shovelled their sidewalks this morning as it allowed him to enjoy his morning constitutional.

Door knockers of Spain…a very occasional series

…except this one is in Whitehorse! Purchased at a Barcelona flea market. And bonus pictures of me spending many a happy hour trying to install it
