I just notice this on the wire that Marlon Brando has died of lung failure. I was never a big fan of the much respected actor, being too young when "On The Waterfront" and "Streetcar Named Desire" came out but I'll never forget his rivetting portrayal of Kurtz in "Apocalypse Now". Then there is his signature role as Don Corlioni in the "Godfather" films which I guess he will be remembered for most. So, another one of the greats, gone at 80.
We enjoyed the Canada Day fireworks last night as the following picture attests.

The weather was great yesterday for the festivities, not too hot and yet warm enough to be comfortable. We had more fireworks of a differnt kind this afternoon as thundershowers rolled into the area and gave us torrents of much needed moisture. But boy, was it noisy. At one point we had to shut down the computer network as the power was spiking on and off at random. Hopefully the lawn will be thankfull for our sacrifice.
