Exploring a Recycling Plant


I’m at Kimco, a premiere recycling facility which the Canadian Recycling Association has awarded “The Most Outstanding Recycling Operation in Canada”.  The place is like ‘Giant Land’ in Super Mario 3.  
See that thing in the top photo?  That’s their brand-new, only-a-few-in-the-world-exist shredder.  A car goes in one end and then, with zero human help, gets separated into its parts (plastic / carpet / glass, etc). We’re gonna come back to see that.  And to weigh the studio, just for fun.august 21 2007

I know this sounds unthinkable, but I did not see the nightmare audio coming; most of the footage is un-useable.  Plus when I filmed this I hadn’t slept in 2 days so I’m more retarded than usual.  And what was I thinking wearing a black turtleneck?  Check out my disembodied-head look.

Exploring a Hell Hole


Not far from Centerville are the Hell Holes Nature Trails and Caves. You descend 25 feet into a giant, naturally formed cave that scares the crap out of you when you realize you’re all alone and haven’t seen anyone else outside anywhere.august 16 2007

After that there’s a 3.2km walk through different kinds of nature (hills, swamp, plain-y area) to return to your car, which I did not do well at because I’m not good at nature.

Exploring the Petroglyphs

Located in a forest not far from Peterborough, the Petroglyphs Provincial Park is one of Canada’s sacred sites. A petroglyph is a carving in a rock, usually a symbol or picture, that dates back a long time ago, in this case 600 – 1100 years.     august 10 2007 

PS – Just to say it, there is nothing I like about this episode, but according to the rules of my show I have to put it up.
