The pictures below were taken the week of
April 26, 1999,
at the Health Level-Seven meeting in Toronto, Ontario.

The view from my hotel room. The curved building
is the Toronto City Hall. The big mushroom growing in the center is where the Assembly
meets. Toronto is ethnically very diverse; the parade in the picture was a Sikh
celebration. The distinctive architecture made this picture an interesting subject for
PhotoShop experimentation. Click here for the results. |

Woody Beeler sent along
pictures that he took with his Nikon CP 900. He contributes a rare thing to these pages, a
picture of Wes himself. Even rarer, a picture of Wes smiling! It's heredity. Even the oil
painting, hanging in the antechamber of the Rishel Castle, of the First Earl of Rishel
Pudding, shows a smile that looks like the Earl is trying to cure his constipation.
Of course, Wes doctored up the picture a little.
For truth in advertising, here is the original: |

What was I telling John Quinn? It had to do with what the mama saw, when
me and Julio were down by the schoolyard. |
