Hi Leonard, with Gordie Lightfoot coming out of big speakers, - LOL like in Kelly's Heroes on Donald Sutherland's tank :o) Saltspring being pulled off line for white powder - I bought some cake flour late last night at the Dominion. I plunked it down on the runner and poof ! white powder. I'm waiting for the 911 call when the white powder turns out to be coke :o) strangely mutated Neo-McCarthyism. - I seem to be seeing it already around SI :o( Gordie Knott ? - That is sooo close to gordion knot.... When they were told what to look for, they found it. - then looking in the mirror might not be advisable :o) regards Kastel a cute and cuddly Canadian (staying mostly on the lighter side tonight)

Today there was Buck Owens on the radio singing 'excuse me i think i've got a heartache' and my wife [still working on her english] thought it was 'excuse me i think i've got a hardon' .... that could likely be worked into an essay on 'friendly fire', but some other time ...... somewhere on the net there is a page that lists dozens of the grosser mistakes and accidents in WWII, the B25 flying into the Empire State building among them, but by no means the worst ..... not this page, but - 'Friendly Fire. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, US army personnel started digging trenches along the beaches in anticipation of a seabourne invasion. Every fifty feet or so along the beach, a gun crew with 30 caliber machine guns took up their positions. At around 8pm on December 7th, seven planes were seen trying to land on an airstrip on Ford Island. Misjudging the length of the runway the pilots decided to go around again for a second try. As the planes came around again the gunners, thinking they were Japanese, opened fire and shot down all seven. The planes were their own aircraft from the carriers at sea. ' members.iinet.net.au ... other friendly fire bits way down the page, along with a chap from Connecticut about to jump on D-day finding that his mother had inspected the packing of his chute ... when it all gets active and crazy, a lot of stuff happens .. [edit] [from much later, that page is addictive] - 'Justice. In Amsterdam, now under the control of the Canadians, two German navy deserters, Bruno Dorfer, aged 20, and Rainer Beck, aged 28, were executed on the rifle range at Schellingwoode by a firing squad of German Navy prisoners of war! Their rifles were supplied by the Canadian Army. The firing squad then surrendered their guns and were marched back to their POW cage. This German Courts Martial had the approval of the 1st.Canadian Army!!. ' Wheat from México, well i dunno ... maybe we could ship the taliban some DF tapwater in Evian bottles -g- Salt Spring - [it's two words, don't get that wrong there] - a variety of white powders have been known there ... and not all old seagull droppings ..... hysteria not entirely unknown there either - i'll never forget the day my favourite pizza joint went non-smoking Your Knott-navy story, i dimly recall that, no detail though and google is not being helpful ... along the way however it did provide this fascinating piece on the virtues of piracy - eco-action.org '“Is this Utopian? A map of the world which does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopias.”—Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism ' Politics ... when current events are too depressing you can always relax with the old ones. nab.v - i was told about this one when it was first out of the gate near two years ago ... could have bought it for .65 or so, it then went to 4.00 or 5.00 ... i have no opinion on it now, but it did have a competent look about it right from the start .... same guy mentioned urmp.ob a while ago, fwiw ... he's had losers too, of course, but i do plan to look at urmp, it's a canadian oil play listed down south ite.to - hard to imagine what would move it eh ... back to resources with the last few nickels, lol ... that's actually not funny, but it is nxs.to - Granma Lee's ... way too much paper out, that's the first thing you notice ... that and a few posts on its stockhouse thread each time it caught my eye was all i ever needed ... well good luck to 'em
