#130 love crusade


So, I am on my way to a mall when the radio station starts ranting about "some nut-job" in armor riding a horse through the city.  I immediately turn around and start heading back to see if I can spot him.  Sure enough CTV had just flagged him down so I ran and snapped my picture.  Turns out his name is Vincent Gabrriel Kirouusac and in his words , “I’m crossing Canada on horse and I’m doing this to sensitize people to honour and friendship and valour. I’m trying to help people when I see them. I’m trying to give people a hand and bring a dream in their lives".
It strikes me that we live in a society where it is trendy to hang pretty plaques on walls with quotes about dreaming and"dancing like no-one is watching"  and "following your bliss" BUT when someone actually does these things we call them a "nut-job"   
 Ride on Sir Knight!

#128 brave squirrel

Watched this brave mama squirrel transfer three of her babies from one tree to another at opposite ends of the street. See the little one in her mouth? The baby wrapped itself around her head and hung on while the mama ran and climbed.
