Well, as I mentioned earlier this month, I've decided the time has come to quit writing new posts for this blog. I'm not too ashamed of my track record here, as Out on the Big Limb started with this little post way back in 2006. Most of the time back then, I wasn't even using photos on the posts.
As promised on its header, the blog has gone all over the place, with everything from rants about Site C (there are several, you just need to use the 'search' feature up in the corner).
Not all the posts are political rants, I promise. One that currently brings a mix of pleasure and sadness was a celebratory poetry event where a whole bunch of poets read their poems that had been selected to ride around on the bus for a year. I have to say sadness as well because it was only a week ago that Sandy Shreve died. She was the poet who served as the driving force behind the establishment of the Poetry in Transit tradition (which yes, still endures).
Sometimes I just raved about movies, and occasionally even food (though most of the foodie posts remain on my other old blog, What's fer supper?).
But here it's the 16th of February again, the second anniversary of Alexey Navalny's death in a Russian prison camp. It's only this week that the cause of his death, a poison, has finally been revealed. No surprise, but that doesn't make it any better. I can only imagine what a better world this would be if he had somehow become the president of that country.
But, like the photo says, for now it's adios, as I'm calling it the end.
