Won't be what?

Won't be beat? What is wrong with 'beaten'?

What will we have next?

• Please be seat. (Not seated)
• I have already ate. (Forget eaten)
• Let's go off the beat track.
• He has went. (No, not 'gone')

Suggestions welcome.

Chemical Philosophy?

A relative on my wife's side received her Ph. D. in Chemistry yesterday. Was wondering what philosophy (as in Doctorate in Philosophy - Ph. D.) has to do with Chemistry. Mayhap, pH D would be more apt.

My own Boswell

In a lone corner of Toronto airport, where I had gone to see the glorious sunset, I simply turned around and shot myself, and thankfully, not in the foot.


This is my first shadow photo of myself, most of my other auto-pics have been reflections, like this one off a bathroom tap:

Sunset Boulevard

Sunsets fascinate me. Most of them disappoint by happening behind the clouds. A much-hyped poet imaginatively described the red hue of the sky at sunset as the sky blushing as everybody looks on when she changes clothes from bright to dark:
இது ஒரு பொன் மாலைப் பொழுது
வான மகள் நாணுகிறாள், வேறு உடை பூணுகிறாள்

Sunrises are good too. Too bad for them that I don't wake up that early to catch them. Here is a view of a glorious sunset as viewed from Toronto airport.

Bar, no bar

I will let you read it yourself. That is the name of a bar. A bit brazen, I think. Looks like, in Canada, there is no bar on what names you can give to your establishment. Bar, no bar.
