@schmidt_np @TristinHopper Nathan, this is a work of art. The symmetry, the labeling, the ruler for scale — it has that unmistakable precision‑first aesthetic that engineers and tool‑people everywhere appreciate. I never thought a spare‑nut bin could look this good.

[windsurfingFarmer-antisocial yob/bumpkin @WindsurfingFrm]

@montanti8angela I agree with Dan. I’ve also noticed a subtle pattern in many of your photos: you capture a sharp contrast in visual style — one group has a polished, classic look; the other — a casual, worn‑in aesthetic. It’s a recurring theme in your work. Yobs like me appreciate this subtlety.

@montanti8angela The Family of Man — ten towering aluminum figures created for Expo 67 — now stands in downtown Calgary.
Sculpted by Spanish‑born artist Mario Armengol, whose elongated, expressionless forms were meant to symbolize universal human connection.

@montanti8angela @_we_love_food 100%!

@montanti8angela Indeed, Angela — the Island has a way of holding onto people.

@montanti8angela A two‑storey building offering both medical care and gravestones — talk about preparing for every possible outcome.

@montanti8angela Old‑school diners always have character — and they’re full of characters. Alice’s Restaurant in Nanaimo, overlooking the harbor, is a classic: locals from the waterfront, the sawmills, and the pulp mill all packed into one lively room.

@montanti8angela A standout interpretation of this Bach piece.

@montanti8angela The ‘8’ has been found. Waldo remains at large, last seen slipping inside for a Hojicha latte.

@RichardDias_CFA Thanks for sharing these valuable resources, Richard. They’re really helpful for staying better informed about the Canadian economy and expanding the critical‑thinking toolbox.

@GerryRitzxMP @lamphieryeg A thoughtful discussion on how the Canadian Wheat Board was ultimately dissolved, giving farmers the ability to market their grain independently. You may find it interesting, Gerry:

@montanti8angela Always, Angela. There’s a part of us that is Abel — the hardworking, respectful self that makes the proper sacrifices — but there’s also Cain, the resentful one waiting in the shadows.

@montanti8angela He’s writing a midterm on partial differential equations and double‑checking the boundary conditions to ensure he answers the question correctly.

@montanti8angela Wow — now that is a remarkable convergence of blue.

@montanti8angela Angela, these snapshots capture something essential about summer — the easy, sun‑drenched pause of an afternoon (or morning) nap in the shade.

@montanti8angela Music is the silent engine of my thinking, each genre — jazz, R&B, indie, classical, bluegrass — tuning the emotional climate while staying out of the foreground.

[windsurfingFarmer-antisocial yob/bumpkin @WindsurfingFrm]

@montanti8angela Absolutely, Angela — and one of my favourites. But in the Western Ukrainian, Galician tradition, I refer to pierogies as pyetáhe (Petahe — петахе), not varenyky.

[windsurfingFarmer-antisocial yob/bumpkin @WindsurfingFrm]

@montanti8angela Exactly — first generate widely, then refine ruthlessly. Only then do the good ideas reveal themselves.
