Patrolling the Brandenburg Gate these days is a leader from a truly evil empire.

Here's the photographic evidence before you jump to conclusions.

I certainly thought twice before crossing over.

While in Germany, I wanted to enjoy some of that Bavarian culture we know from Oktoberfest. At Zum Haxnwirt, it's all about the beer and huge hunks of pork.

I sense wild boars were captured on the streets of Berlin and baked into schweinshaxe for my benefit. The knuckle of pork on my plate was absolutely massive. I think I ate this guy.

Oh... and they sold these out of a vending machine.

I haven't done a very good job posting my daily photo, but I should have more luck this week. Today's photo will give you a clue as to why.

I took this photo just before landing in Berlin, Germany. It was a connector flight from Frankfurt full of turbulence and chocolate. That's right, Lufthansa was unable to give us our usual snacks so they placated us with awesome German chocolate.

I'm going to try and take a photo every day, and share it here. My goal is to find beauty in the ordinary.

I took this photo on a long, brisk walk by the Humble Humber River in Etienne Brulé Park, definitely one of Toronto's best kept secrets. These overflow dams, by the way, are called weirs.

If you're visiting Redfish Studios in Etobicoke, you can now peer through the looking glass and watch the recording of Humble and Fred's podcasts. Don't come tomorrow, though... they're recording from Wayne Gretzky's.

It's that time of year. The boy practices on the big rink while we skate on the public side to keep warm. If you're looking for a public sheet of ice that isn't too busy, get your ass to High Park one evening.

They're filming Resident Evil 5 on a lot on Kipling just south of Norseman. I found this in the parking lot.

Here's the front view:

Walking the streets of north-west Mississauga, I came upon a touch-less street crossing button. You simply wave your hand in front of it, and it knows you want to cross.

Contagions be damned!

I lunched at Factory Girl on the Danforth this afternoon, and this is how they mark their men's room.

The pulled pork sandwich was excellent and this photo of Steven Tyler was perfectly androgynous.

This is one of two guest microphones found inside the studio where we record the Humble and Fred podcast each day. This photo was taken after the boys had gone home just prior to Alan Thicke borrowing the space to record a radio ad.
