This is a photo of the vine, growing up our chimney, melded onto a paper-like texture, done in Adobe Photo Shop.I see that the old BC Place Stadium, home of the BC Lions CFL football team is getting a rejuvenation. After a state of the art retractable roof is put on the old structure, it will be a venue for both football and soccer. It seems that the main reason for doing this is that in the summer time, because there is no air-conditioning in there, it becomes sauna hot and uncomfortable for the poor fans. Tsk tsk. All for the mere cost of $458 million. The world has truly gone mad. We are being taxed to death for such things as mass transit and road building, our health care system is in shambles, and our province is running record deficits in its finances. And now all this money for a roof over a 40 year old structure, that already has a roof!! How about building another hospital, or some homeless shelters, or care facilities for the elderly. It seems our love of sports has clouded our thinking on this one.
