    They've GOT to be kidding.....

    Living out of town, we have Bell Expressvu satellite TV. In cruising through the on-screen guide, I see they have now put up a "free Preview" of FauxNews channel, until September 1st. Does this mean they think Canadians would pay EXTRA for the blatantly bigotted, anti-Canadian bull-flop that...

    Hope tomorrow goes better...

    What is the deal? Waking up at the obscenity of 5:58 one morning, the "dirty" number of 7:12 today (I think it was)> I am seriously considering an Exorcism. "knocked back" a couple tonight - maybe that will help. If not, I might as well go back to work. Good Lord!!! What did I just say...

    05/05/05 !

    Sun-ava-biscuit!!! I just realized what Today IS!!! (well, I'm cheating a tad, out here. I'm staying up past Midnight, the night before.) This aint gonna happen for another 101 years (06/06/06)! I kinda think I might have other pressing commitments before that. But here's to the folks that...

    Back from the Lake

    Back from the lake, great time. Got my load of firewood stacked under the front of the unit, flower boxes planted with bedding plants (Marigolds, Asters and a Supertunia). Just ran into clouds as we were driving back, overcast and sprinkling now - couldn't have timed it better.

    Cops 1, B*stard 0

    Glad they nailed this SOB - not only a Helluva lot of explosives, but "well-known" to police and in a stolen truck - I don't think you need to be a rocket-scientist for this one.... http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/04/28/man-explosives050428.html

    A close call...

    WHEW!! Just barely dodged a bullet this morning - woke up at 7:02! Perilously close to getting up before SEVEN! I must exercise a bit more self-control, this could get out of hand. I didn't work all those damn years, only to retire and wind up in THAT kind of personal difficulty!

    Climate shock

    It's has been pushing 30 degrees the last couple days (though it's supposed to cool off for a few days). Last night, the Global News broadcast from Vancouver (they are very much aware that they broadcast to all of BC) noted on their Weather forecast that the weekend saw over one hundred record...

    Off for a few days

    My last session of checking threads and posting for a little while. Heading out this weekend for the first session at our new seasonal site at Shuswap Lake, took the 5th wheel out 2 weeks back but no hookups were available at the time. I have now built a sectional 8x12 deck/patio for it, and...

    Interesting, but useless, Trivia

    "Years ago, at age 20, Sakichi Toyoda, the son of a Shizouka carpenter, became interested in the mechanics of looms. Four years later, despite many challenges, he patented his first wooden loom that increased production by 50 percent. His obsession continued until he invented Type G looms, that...

    Our Seasonal Site

    I believe I posted several weeks ago that we have a "seasonal" at beautiful Shuswap Lake in the BC interior, about an hour from here. We went out to drop our unit off last weekend, and I'm in the process of building a "patio-deck" for it now. (you'll notice sticks and string along the side...

    Poli-Corr hits Cookie Monster

    OK, it's not exactly the most important story of the week but people sure have strong opinions about the news that Cookie Monster's will cut back on his namesake treats. Even the most vocal critics seem to agree that skyrocketing childhood obesity is a major problem -- they just don't think...
