Let’s see! 5,000 tasty ticks per season.
Each season is about 90 days.
5000 ÷ 90 = 55.555555555555556
So, the opossum eats about 56 ticks a day.
That doesn’t seem like a meal.
Must be their snacks.

“Rise Up” is a call. It’s an anthem to our better selves, for a better world. The song was fun to groove to in the 1980’s, but was anybody listening?
The Parachute Club was a Canadian band formed in Toronto in 1982. By 1987 they had three top 40 hits in Canada, including “Rise Up”
Lorraine Segato, the original front person, teamed with Parachute Club members Julie Masi & David Gray. Under the name “The New Parachute Collective”, with emerging artists: Theo Tams, Jimmy Chauveau, Jillea, Kayla Diamond, Maya Kiltron and Britta Badour, 
… they have released an updated version to to empower a new generation of youth activists.
All profits go to non-profits.

Here is the new version, with words. Is anybody listening now?
Here is the original infectious video.
“The enduring appeal of this song has inspired us to celebrate its legacy with a campaign to engage, celebrate and honour a new generation of social justice activists who are shaping the future.” – Lorraine Segato
This is from the side of a power box.
This is the side around the corner.
Together they equal this.
I found this Elvis up the road. It’s painted on an opaque plastic, with kind of tiny bubbles in it.
I’m heading over to Art Gowns to work on a Special! I need to focus, so comments are closed.

I thought of Gigi – Rethinking Life when I found these pigeons on a power box.
I adore pigeons, and know Gi does, too!
Coo coo coo, yes they poo!
Coo coo coo, so do you!

There was a hard to get at pigeon on the side by the mailbox, and one on the other side beside a telephone pole.
Found a Bell Box with Buffy Sainte Marie on it.
I know I had this song in another post. It is my favourite Buffy song ever, with outstanding performances by all. It is one of my very fave songs, top 10!

Our friend Francina – Poetry and Art wrote a post, Share the Light .
Francina asks, “Why don’t we all share the light as a sign of hope? We can do this by posting for instance an image of a candle, a lamp, the light of a lighthouse etc. etc. in a blog post with the heading: Share the Light.”
Many of our blog pals have posted a “Share the Light” and Francina has reblogged them. I hope more join in with a post, and don’t forget to link to Francina’s blog!
She quotes the refrain from Leonard Cohen’s ANTHEM (1982) For those who don’t know it, here is the poet, himself. His opening statement also applies today.
Martha and The Muffins are a Canadian band.
Their main hit was “Echo Beach”, in the 80’s.
In 2014, Vogue Magazine pronounced Queen Street West the second hippest street in the world.
Martha and the Muffins were part of the cultural evolution that made Queen St. so awesome.
It was music and all of the arts that flourished. Eventually graffiti & Street Art found its way here. I’m so thrilled to live on this street.
It’s amazing what I find painted on power boxes in the streets of Toronto.
Here’s Martha and the Muffins!
