Has anyone tried to buy a decent stereo system lately. I tried - even got one home - only to find the darn thing has a fan in it. They install dolby and then a fan ? The dolby cuts out noise and the fan adds 100 times what the dolby takes out .I could hear some toons and the fan. The fan was louder than my darn computer . End result is i took the sucker back. Now I got some piece of crap CD player and no way to crank up the vinal.

I used to ski race in mining towns in Northern Ontario back in the sixties. At all the places I skied at in those days there was gold or silver mining going on. Cobalt, Beardmore, Kirland Lake, Sault Ste. Marie and Timmins. There were kids on that circuit from Val D'Or and Rouyn Quebec, too. There is hardly any mining going on in these towns today, and downhill skiing has gone downhill in parallel to fracture a few puns. We were always billeted in people's homes in those days. In Timmins the homes we stayed at were heated by the mine air from the Hollinger Mine. The exhaust air from a mile deep was warm enough to reject heat to a heat exchanger and keep the homes toasty even in that weather. You could heat all the homes in Timmins from heat exchanging air from an operating mine, or even from the water. Cobalt Ontario was still thriving and I think about 6 silver mines were operating at that time. At one time there were 138 mine in operation and there were street cars running between the towns of New Liskeard and Cobalt. There were 29,000 people in Kirkland Lake back then and about 29 bars operating. In Geraldton Beardmore, the Leitch, and Macleod Mosher mines were still operating. In Timmins, the Delnite, Hollinger, McIntyre, Porcupine Paymaster, and Broulan Reef still operated. In Kirkland Lake the Lakeshore, Macassa, Wright Hargreaves, Upper Canada and Kerr Addison operated. 39 mines in Canada were operating under the EMGA or emergency gold mining assistance act which paid the operating profits of the mines over and above the 35 dollar gold price. Even if the mine could make a profit, it paid better often to raise costs to where more ore could be mined and profits came from government payment. I used to hear Peter Paul and Mary, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Steven Stills play at local folk houses in those days. Old Mine in the Hills Somewhere. EC<:-}
