external monologue

a football field of pot

i've always known that hops were a member of the hemp family (Cannabaceae), but this is taking things a bit too far... this story is the funniest thing i've heard on NPR in a long time. ontario police discovered 30,000 marijuana plants in an old molson brewery, along with living quarters for up to 50 people. molson, of course, is denying any connection to the cannabis growing venture.

today's photo is another one from dear sister arianna. (as i had hoped, the arrival of digicams for montgomery siblings just may translate into more photoblogs.) i forgot to mention yesterday that the high-point of sunday's ensemble party (at least in my opinion) was a stirring game of "pin the tail on andy." unfortunately the game was short lived due to ben horner's perfect placement -- but the backdrop does make for a nice portrait i must say.

local music scene: andrew bird (originally of squirrel nut zippers) will be playing the barking legs theatre on saturday night. if the songs i've heard off his new album, weather systems, are any indicator, it should be a great show.
