This really belongs in “History”, but there is more activity here. I was looking for something in one of my old history books and came across this. It’s not the same situation of course;...
...over here in the Toronto area: thirty-nine degrees at present. It's been like this for a few days and will continue for a few more. Reminds me of some older movies: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; Some Like...
I don't own a canal worthy mode of transportation or a hedgehog rummaging in my yard: therefore, this will not be a terribly interesting piece of cotton. Anyway, carry on as you were, so to speak:)...
This should perhaps be in Travel; however, there is more activity here. A friend of mine is the deputy editor of a Toronto newspaper and is going on an all expense one week visit to promote Scottish...

The 2015 Pan-Am Games are being held next month in the Toronto area (Not that I'm at all interested in them.). Participants come from North, Central, and South America. How many countries do you think...
We used to have these quite often in the "Good Old Days". Anything going to develop tonight, then? I have for rent, at reasonable costs, tin helmets, pea-shooters, portions of Anderson shelters,...
I just realized that I have been awarded a badge for "One Years Service". That's strange: I've been around for nine years. Anyway, I don' need no stinkin' bahdgees:)...
Here are some photos of my latest new watch that is 111 years old: http://i57.tinypic.com/2it1nj5.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/2lxte1h.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/syxmv9.jpg It's keeping pretty good time...
