For the past few months I have been enjoying this tea I found, Fully loaded Tea. I was attracted to it first by the packaging then the name. i Guessed Fully loaded meant extra caffeine.

It turns out that it actually means fully loaded with flavor. I have had all sorts of tea’s from bags to loose, Cheep to expensive. This tea is honestly one of my favorites.

Using a two-stroke lawn mower to cut a decent-sized lawn can produce as much smog-forming pollution as driving a modern car from Ottawa to Toronto.

If Canada wants to have the average household drop there green house emissions then lets have a look at some flexible numbers.

It took me 1hr to mow my parents law, thats 50′ x 100′ lot, thats more or less the average size…

Dan a guy new to Canada from England. He came here in January, were he was introduced to winter. As i got to know Dan i found out he was a pro mountain bike photographer from over the pond. Since then Dan has moved over to North Vancouver were he is now close the the Canadian mountain biking Mecca. I was brought back to Dans site almost by chance and i noticed it has been updated.

I felt it was worth mentioning…

Ok, so in Edmonton and some other Canadian cities there is a daily newspaper called DOSE it’s got what’s going on here and there with all the little things you might want to know about. Back to the point, there was an article on urban infiltration, as in people exploring every inch of there city and getting photographs off the beaten path. So that got me looking into other sites. This brings me to Daily Photography by Kendall Anderson. This site is full of fascinating pictures of the forgotten industrial buildings and surroundings…
