The other morning, a long beachcomb after the winds of Sunday. Turning up a fishhook (paleolithic), scrapers, flints, and a whole host of other assorted rocks.
Also found a loonie, used for scale. Some knobs of tourmaline schist to the left Kootenay Argillite in the center (the greenish-to-greyish material) in the right.
Above the loonie, top, orange, no local material (jasper) that had me stumped - a drill? - but a bit of searching informed me it was likely a fishhook. Clearly worked to a sharp point it would have been attached to a stick via the indents.
Below that a heavily worked scraper.
The early bird...

This morning, after a record stint of days off, shit, shower and shave at Kokanee creek and early to work.
The rain on Monday and Tuesday will be sure to have exposed some treasures.
And, sure enough, just in the water lapping the shore:
This could almost make me want to go to work...
Other than this; a few flakes, couple of large pieces of flint/jasper, one worked into a scraper.
I would not object to it raining all summer.

His inimitable style, taken to it's logical extreme. Masterful color palette, direction, sets, stellar cast (all of Hollywood by now is begging the most trifling of cameos), clever story, witty dialogue.
5/5 stars. He's nothing profound to say, but he says it with such charm...

3 Fatal Drug "Poisonings" (or OD's, not sure what they mean there) in Nelson in one week.
Bloody hell. That's a big number for a small town.
