Oscar Wilde was right, "Nature is so uncomfortable. Grass is hard and lumpy and damp, and full of dreadful black insects."

It's finally Summer here in Whateverpeg.
I started the Canada Day Celebrations with a trip to the Zoo with fellow bloggers Joyce & Brian (who wouldn't sign waivers) it was our 3rd Annual and prolly our last.
Maybe we'll go without the kids so that we can have a better visit, and if and when our Zoo gets refurbished.
I miss watching Debbie the Polar Bear splash around.
Debbie made it into the GUINESS Book O' Records because she lived twice as long as she would have in the Wild..begin argument now.
We saw the same critters in the same exhibits and felt sorry for them.
Later that night we made our way downtown and watched the same Fireworks display.
Next Year we're going to paddle down the River to watch the fireworks in a tippy canoe so that the post and pictures will be more interesting.

Tomorrow, July 1st, is Canada Day.
*Loon calling in the distance
Last year I celebrated Kinada Day by talking about my visit to the Austraileeyer exhibit and so this year I'm going to rave about Japan!
Why? Why not? It's not just because Canada is of little interest to outsiders it's mainly because a friend sent me an email about Hōnen Matsuri with all these great pictures attached.
March 15 is the date upon which the festival of Honen Matsuri (Boner Day) is celebrated in Komaki, Japan.
This is the time of year when ordinary folks can swig on all-you-can-drink sake and release their inner Dongzilla!
Why? Did I mention Free all-you-can-drink Sake?
Plus it's an excuse for old farts to ingest Viagra like candy and celebrate fertility, renewal, a good harvest, yada yada yada, but mostly get hammered on all-you-can-drink sake and parade around with giant boners!
For one day everyone can enjoy having, sharing, worshipping, and receiving, Happiness from your their Japenis.
