Vancouver's Laughing Statues Saved!


The statues that greet visitors to Vancouver's English Bay Beach have been saved by a donation by Lululemon founder Chip Wilson.  The bronze sculptures have been a popular attraction at the corner of Denman and David Street in the city's West End. The statues are a 'must see' for tourists to Vancouver.










Firewood or Wood Fire?

This is an excellent idea that I had to share. It was posted and send around on Facebook.
