/> -Willie P. Bennett</p><p>These are some women who work at Chu Shing, across the street from my house. I like this picture because it&#8217;s brightly coloured and confusing.</p><p><img
id="image2324" alt=theotherroom2.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/theotherroom2.jpg" /></p><p>Although I&#8217;m tired of leaves, and I agree that the purpose of seasons is to give photographers something new to photograph, I can&#8217;t resist a couple more. Here&#8217;s a tree like a lollipop.</p><p><img
id="image2328" alt=lollipop.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/lollipop.jpg" /></p><p>And two of leaves against the sky.</p><p>Yellow<br

id="image2330" alt=orange1.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/orange1.jpg" /></p><p>I&#8217;ve solved a mystery. On <a
href="http://www.robink.ca/blog/lady-in-pink/"><strong>January 6, 2007</strong></a> I asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s on the other end of this rope?&#8221; It was frozen into the ice on the boardwalk at Dow&#8217;s Lake.</p><p><img
id="image2326" alt=iceline.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/iceline.jpg" /></p><p>Here&#8217;s the answer. It&#8217;s a rope to nowhere. Somehow solving this mystery wasn&#8217;t very satisfying. There must be more to it!</p><p><img
id="image2327" alt=anchor.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/anchor.jpg" /></p><p><H2>What else?</H2></p><p><H3>Leaves</H3><br
/> I really am tired of leaves, so I will try to bring back one good picture I can post that doesn&#8217;t have leaves in it. Well, it might have leaves IN it, but it won&#8217;t be OF leaves. (That picture up top doesn&#8217;t have leaves in it, but it isn&#8217;t that good a picture.)</p><p><H3>7 random things meme</H3><br
/> <a
href="http://knitnut.net/?p=507"><strong>I was tagged for the 7 random things meme.</strong></a> I tried to give it away, but I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s going to stick.</p><p>Maybe I&#8217;ll do the meme. Maybe not. Definitely I won&#8217;t be tagging 7 others. There aren&#8217;t 7 bloggers left to tag.</p><p>Not tagging anyone else feels a bit like breaking a chain letter, which I always do. I refuse to be held hostage by chain letters. I know the random things meme isn&#8217;t a chain letter, but it feels like one.</p><p>Zoom has resorted to tagging non-bloggers, who seem to like it. But they haven&#8217;t been blurting out random things about themselves on blogs for the last couple of years. They&#8217;ve got hundreds of random things cluttering up their brains. I think they should get them out by posting them as comments on Zoom&#8217;s blog.</p><p><H3>Facebook Scrabble</H3><br
/> I&#8217;m playing too much Scrabble on facebook. How much is too much? Over 900 games is too much.</p><p>Not that I think there&#8217;s anything wrong with playing Scrabble. It&#8217;s good for you. But it takes up time when you could be doing something else, such as watching movies and posting reviews of them on the other part of this blog.</p><p>I&#8217;ve watched four or five movies this month, but I haven&#8217;t managed to post reviews of them. I hope to do this before the end of October. And start watching more. I love movies when beastly Scrabble doesn&#8217;t get in the way.</p><p>I&#8217;m quite competitive about Scrabble. My stats for the 900 games are that I win 80% of the time. This is mostly playing against random strangers. When I play someone who is a known good player, I only expect to win around 50% of the time, which isn&#8217;t good for my stats. So I don&#8217;t play against known good players very often.</p><p>I think this is a bit sick. Maybe I need an intervention.</p><p>That&#8217;s it. I&#8217;ll try and bring back that picture. Goodbye!</p><hr
