    Looking for a variety of new Forums

    NOT because of this one - this is fine, and I will be spending more time here from now on. But because I have to end a long-standing relationship, there are a couple of Forums that I will have to stop going to. I like discussing current events and politics, particularly Canadian vs American...

    I nearly ruined my Life...

    It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then-- just to loosen up. Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone -- "to relax," I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true. Thinking became more...

    Kicking Horse Pass bridge ready for traffic.

    Any of you who have travelled west from Banff/Lake Louise on the Trans-Canada Highway will doubtless remember the western portion of the Kicking Horse Pass - a treacherous, winding, horrible two-lane road, clinging against near-vertical cliffs in some places, "rock-catcher" netting above you in...

    And the worm turns yet again...

    Pat Buchanan sure as Hell ain't at the top of my Christmas list, but this is still interesting.... I remember something similar almost 40 years ago, involving Vietnam.

    Sorry if I'm kinda quiet for a while.

    My lower back is causing Hell with my sciatic nerves, down the front of my thighs - I can only sit in front of the computer for 15 or 20 minutes. The back problem is because of a large weight-gain (fluid retention) in my gut lately... gone from a 38" waist to over 50", since early Fall. To cap...

    How often does this site go down?
