People go by, things go by… Ugly dog who is well-loved by someone. My fat guys weren’t fat enough.

The King of Rue Chapleau
By Jack Ruttan in cats, montreal, ruttan's placeI’ve seen this cat every morning for years now, when I walk up rue Chapleau to the corner store at Hochelaga to get a banana or a beer. His owner called him “The King” once, so he’s the King of the block. Getting on in years now (think he’s about 16-18 years old), but still […]

An empty fence. No trace of the sign: no shreds of plastic board anywhere nearby, not even loose attachments […]

Look Out for Speeding Kiddies
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, ruttan's placeConsider if you will, an experiment. The police put up this safety sign this afternoon on the schoolyard fence across the street from me. I want to see how long it takes before the pristine surface is defaced with graffiti of some kind, or torn down entirely. You can watch and keep track with me. […]

A Tree Grows in my Living Room
By Jack Ruttan in ruttan's placeI’m mesmerized by this huge plant a neighbour donated to me. It’s beautiful, but the cats can’t chew on it. So far, no problem.
