    Some folks buy snow blowers, some buy ................

    leaf blowers, here in Victoria, we like to think we could use blossom blowers ! Lot of our trees are finishing early due to too much heavy rain, tons of other flora going strong though. Some Rhodos showing nicely, daffodils are putting on a show too. I've cut my lawns just once, should have done...

    Hillary bashing .......... a new take on political mud slinging ?

    Funny site, but seriously, have never seen this sort of an organized take down before. Not sure I like it; opens up Pandora's Box big time ! Not my place to comment on US politics though. I'm sure there will shortly be other similar, but anti-R. sites springing up. I just used Google and...

    Elson, a little anecdote for you and your good lady ........

    ...saw an interview several years back on TV. An elderly actress was being interviewed by a youngish woman, who commented on her recent 50th anniversary. She found 50 years of marriage to be an incredibly long time.She asked, if in all those years, had she not even once considered divorce ? The...

    Polar bear licence plate ......

    Spent several years in Inuvik, N.W.T. ( grab an atlas folks,it is in the western corner of Canada's Northwest Territories) In the office I took over in '76,a desk drawer gave up an envelope holding a set of plates, that were never on a vehicle. I kept this one and gave the other to an elderly...

    Gen. Ray ..... Re; California ... and idle, nothing better to do, winter comments ...

    Thought I'd put on a new post, to catch your eye. California was OK but I did notice folks were too numerous and seemed to be determined to be so darn ........Californian! I would likely find the NW and N central states more to my 'ol farmboy nature. Starting to think that I might even fit in...

    How cold was it ? ...............

    Waaaaay too cold for probably everyone on the forum except for Vernon in his Alaska days. Have to chuckle at how some of you cringe at -15 F. Mind though, that after some years here on balmy Vancouver Island, I would whine and complain too at -15F ! We were living in Inuvik,in Canada's...

    Past finds ......golden moments ......... "sigh".........

    Forum seemed a bit slow last few days and I did recently say I would post some photos; problem is, I was hoping to post RECENT finds of some good stuff. NADA, nothing, ZIP !

    Ooops ! Re: my post on Helo rescue .......

    :canadaflag:.....meant to add that this is an incredible display of skill. Density altitude (altitude & temperature), partial ground effect on a steep slope, a bang on partial hover, placing just enough weight on a risky structure to aid stability.I'm just an 'ol private fixed wing kind of guy...

    Old US coins I find up here on Vancouver Island .......

    well, not often, but they are neat finds. Found a 1905 V nickel a couple of days back, on a local salt water beach. This one was in quite good shape;several others found over the years were usually impossible to date. I have also added some Buffalo nickels and 2 or 3 Shields to my iffy...

    .........include my daughter's wee Ruby in the pic to dilute the impact on sensitive eyes.
