    Sketchy details, but heads up for Dylan fans.

    I have had this reminder note for about a month now.... gotta do this before I forget. Martin Scorcese has produced what I THINK is a mini-series movie about Bob Dylan called "No Direction Home", that will be on PBS sometime in September. I saw one ad (just one) back in early July, so I can't...

    Got back from 8 days at Shuswap Lake

    I'm not sure how well this will turn out, but to explain: There is a Beaver from a near-by creek, down at the beach in the evening, and a local female Golden Lab, who play Cat-and-Mouse every day. The beaver will swim away from the dog, but let her catch up until she's just about up to him...

    Pics of the view from my deck

    I may have posted the view from our deck before, but it was a dull day: this is much nicer. (I will have to play with the new Digi-cam I got for a bit, to get exposure-settings down.... this is a bit over.) btw - the large property in the right-hand pic is "Frank's" (forgot his last name)...

    Okay - so who are THESE clowns????

    This will probably stir up a hornets nest, but these folks apparently figure on all going to South Carolina, and are NOT ruling out setting up Independance. :roll: :roll: :roll: http://www.christianexodus.org/index.php?m...tWrap&page=home

    Drunken Pilots Get Prison

    ..................................................................................................... Hold on a sec, here.... "Cloyd's lawyer said the pilot ...... was still distraught by the death of his father in a plane crash years earlier." BEEP! Wrong answer, but thanks for playing...

    "Just In" on Vancouver News.

    No many details yet, but it sounds like a combined US/Canadian investigation has led to the discovery of a tunnel under our common border, between Sumas and Lynden (two small semi-rural towns east of Vancouver in BC and Washington, respectively.) It has been described by authorities as "large...

    Hate-Map

    Interesting.... is it just me, or is there some level of comparison to the "Red State / Blue State" maps, as well? http://www.tolerance.org/maps/hate/

    Ethics Test

    This test only has one question, but it's very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet...

    Dogs and Light Bulbs

    1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb? 2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code. 3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid...

    Eminent Domain ruling in the US

    What's one of your best Blond Moments?

    (I must preface this, that I have occasional allergies, and keep Dristan nasal spray at hand at all times. I ALSO wear glasses, and used to have an ammonia-based spray-cleaner for them nearby, in a similar squeeze-bottle.) Several years ago, I was watching TV one evening. With only my...

    Vietnam 2 Preflight check

    Vietnam 2 Preflight check 1. Cabal of oldsters who won’t listen to outside advice? Check. 2. No understanding of ethnicities of the many locals? Check. 3. Imposing country boundaries drawn in Europe, not by the locals? Check. 4. Unshakeable faith in our superior technology? Check. 5...

    A Nice Shot in the Arm

    Toyota spends 800 Million in Canada AS WELL! - "In March, General Motors announced it would spend $2.5 billion in a massive revamp of its Oshawa, Ont., operations. Ford of Canada is in the process of a $1.2-billion redevelopment of its Oakville, Ont., facilities."

    Five random things about you.

    I stole this idea from another forum - tell five random, unrelated things about you, that others would not be expect to know. Some people say simple things, like "I'm left-handed", but I tried to make mine more interesting" 1. I was born in Sask, but spent gr. 2 - 5 in Oregon, before moving to...

    Food

    Two things that out Atlantic Canada members will understand: 25 years ago, I was in Halifax and ran across Digby clams (breaded and fried) - what I wouldn't give for a big plateful of those! It's been that long, and I can still remember them. And DONAIRS? I think they have them in Ontario, too...

    Updated shot of the seasonal, with flower-boxes and "driveway" that I mentioned putting in. Our house. View from the deck with river below, too bad it wasn't a brighter day yesterday.
