Campfires cause deep thoughts. Dreams come alive in the smoke. Another beer, please. (Haiku: three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables)

Be sure you have eaten a while before this..... Today I popped each and every key, a few at a time, out of my "eggshell Ivory" keyboard out (WHY do they make them that colour???) and cleaned them off with a papertowel soaked in Windex. (Bear in mind I'm a smoker, so even the grime that a...

I stumbled onto a documentary about this on TV this evening - first I have ever heard of it. Did an atomic bomb fall in Canada? http://www.portaec.net/library/peace/1950_bomber_crash_in_bc.html http://www.cowtown.net/proweb/brokenarrow2.htm

Thu, March 17, 2005 Cops 'rescue' stranded crackhead By CARY CASTAGNA, POLICE REPORTER It's further proof that you don't have to be intelligent to be a criminal. A 27-year-old Winnipeg man who ran out of gas on a North End street earlier this week flagged down a police cruiser for help --...

Non-Canadians will be mystified by this, but true Canadians will be cheering! (For all you Non-Canadians, I offer my condolences. Life's a B**ch.) I also offer an explanation: The Rhinoscerous Party was a protest party in Canada, made up of every joker that could be found. They constantly...

My two sons are in or pushing their Thirties now, but when my first son was between two and three (iirc), we decided we should let him learn to talk on the phone - this became a big hit with my folks. One day, my Mom called to chat... and after a few minutes, she asked if she could talk to...

Takes a while to load up, and the image could be better, but it's worth the effort! http://www.extremefunnypictures.com/funnypic556.htm

Can someone fix the clock here for me? It's out about 10 or 12 minutes - bugs the shyte out of an old "bean-counter" like me. :wink:

Just got back from Magna Bay, on the beautiful north shore of Shuswap Lake. We have paid for a seasonal site at the RV park there. A nice 30x40 site, on the END of the row - a large grassy area for a couple hundred feet to look out on. It's also shaded at the west side by three tall cedar trees...

I can think of poorer excuses for a day that people stop and think about something... Like what the Hell is the fuss about St. Patricks day, compared to this? TUESDAY is International Women's Day - I'm not a "bleeding heart", but History has shown us far too many examples of how women have...

It's just after lunch, sunny with a few puffy white clouds - and I have the sliding glass door to the deck OPEN! Damn, if you have to live in Canada over winter, there's no place like BC! (sorry, gang - more shameless bragging... I know, I know)

Tougher than nails - raised on a sod-buster's farm northeast of Regina, near a place called Avonhurst, that doesnt even exist now. Being in the middle of 8 or 9 kids, ruled by a miseriable old Prussian-German who thought BEATING kids was the way to raise them, she stood up to the "Old Man" for...

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05058/463081.stm Interesting read....

Nice sunny day, so on the way back from town we stopped at a car lot to "kick tires" on a few pick-up trucks. As I was walking along, something flew up in front of my face and then landed on the cab of a truck next to me. I looked at it and are you ready for this? you sure? It...

Just over three weeks away....

missle "defence"? $130 Billion into it, $50 Billion more to come, and the program only has a .500 batting record - on top of which, iirc, the "successes" involved target missles with a transmitter aboard that essentially shouted out "HERE I AM!", a favour that I think Korea is somehow unlikely...
