** Two hours after I'd put the camera away, we had a visit at the house from Peel's finest wondering if there'd be a domestic dispute. Nothing like having two cruisers pull up out front during the dinner hour. Seems the cranky, busybodies behind us felt the incident warranted a call to the cops. Next time, I'll moon the neighbours.

A clue later....

UPDATE: Something in common with Jon Stewart

Heard really good things about the Foo Fighters gig at the Air Canada Centre back on Saturday night. One of the coolest moments had to have been when Dave Grohl welcomed both Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson to the stage for a little jam with Foo’s drummer Taylor Hawkins…which brings us to today’s photo. (shot over the weekend with the Nikon D300) 

Looking at this pic, I’m reminded of Rush actually. How about you? See anything here that might suggest a Rush album title?
