The dictionary definition of flaneur is loafer or vagabond. I ascribe to the notion of flaneur as a wanderer and observer.
Long walks on the beach are not for me, however, if the invitation is an evening stroll over the Burrard Bridge to downtown Vancouver, then I'm in.
I find my flaneur site makes me question the changes that are constantly evolving the landscape of Vancouver.

skunk B gone
For the second time in as many years, skunks have moved under the garden shed. This is the way to get them to move along.
That sounds like a logical solution- light and sound. We had to evict a mom raccoon and her kits from our eaves last year. The raccoon man came and scared away the mom ,then went in to get the kits which he put in a box on the roof. He held one up so it would squeal and let mom know where it was. Then the mom came in the night to get her kits and move them to a safer location...away from our house which had been closed up with wire...and that cost 500$ Someone told us later that we could have put alcohol soaked rags in the eaves and that would have worked as well. hmmm- why didn't we google it? I also dealt with another wildlife eviction a couple of weeks ago- we had a bee swarm in the back yard: http://picasaweb.google.com/thyrza/BeeSwarmInOurBackYard# the bees have been moved to VanDusen Gardens- lucky damn bees

Excuse me . . . WHAT is the way? Play them bad music? Shine a light at them? Show them an axe? Inquiring minds want to know AGAIN!
