Alpo has a crush? Or is he stalking her?

Naw, but it will power the entire home, using everything at once; and it runs on natural gas. ~100 hours of run time before they recommend an oil change and I keep a couple of kits on hand, just in case. It's kept us comfy a few times.

OK, that's cold.

Well, I think I solved that potential problem!

As we here in Canada have had demonstrated to us: Registration Leads to Confiscation. And we are now facing the imminent demise of ALL the shooting sports.

Not a good idea.

You forgot I'm stuck reside in Canada, where the politicians think banning licensed legal handguns from legally registered users, will stop criminal use of smuggled handguns by unlicensed users, whose business is dealing drugs, robbing individuals, home invasions et. al. *Kinda makes a person wonder just who these politicians are working for don't it?

Too bad you Pards ain't up here. I could've fixed ya right up: any time, Day or Night! And my rates are good!

I'm OK with the needles and vein sticks, but I have cataract surgery coming up soon and THAT'S got me a bit apprehensive. I've always been a bit shy about things around my eyes and the procedure has me a bit ........................concerned. The long, wide, yellow streak down my back has been glowing brightly.

I've been clearing out stuff we accumulated over the years or inherited. One of the things is a Funk & Wagnalls "New Encyclopedia" circa 1980/1990 What to do with it? Recycle it for the paper? Any suggestions?

I'm considering it, or alternatively, since I'm Alberta Born and Raised, I'm looking at returning there if something develops over the next year or so. The downside issue is my age (nearly 82) for a move either direction.

You Pards just have these information threads to make Canadians feel bad don't ya? The only non-LEO people who get to carry in Canada are the drug dealers, home invaders and other assorted thieves and thugs.

Just glad I was born in Alberta and can prove it with my birth certificate. Hopefully, I'll have "The Right To Return!"

OK for you guys to laugh at these **** for brains! Here in Canada, they form the (mis)government and are busy trying to scoop up most firearms and banning the rest.

Here, in Ontario Canada, wine and liquor, (until recently) was usually sold in government run stores. (Liquor Control Board of Ontario, LCBO for short) Even at a youthful looking 82, I don't get asked for Proof of Majority! (I'm offended!) I even go clean shaven to look younger and trigger an age check, but no takers.

Now you've given our (mis)government an idea.

What a pretty woman Angie Dickinson is.

One more: The sound of a rotary engine in a Beaver on take-off.

Escaping Law Enforcement Authorities is one thing. Getting away with it is another. We had one here that embezzled from the bank he worked at and made it to Mexico, but his face was plastered all over Canada and the US. He returned a while later to give himself up after he was recognized by "others" in Mexico. He told the Crown Attorney he was terrified, after "they" almost caught him a few times in Mexico.

From our tent, in Jasper, Park, sitting beside my wife, drinking fresh perked coffee, while looking out at the mountains around us with the scent of pine in the air.

I had a problem with recoil a few decades ago and mostly solved it with Mercury Recoil Reducers I bought from Brownells. Worked pretty good until my shoulder recovered enough to handle the heavy stuff. I hunted that fall; even got a moose that year and a nice doe a month later.

All that hysteria makes you sound like one of our left wing Canadian politicians. Or a soccer mom from Toronto.

PFFTT! Your still a youngster at 75! Got ya beat by around 7 years. As for natural climate change, I sincerely believe you are correct. At least according to ancient tree rings and other geological evidence, from long before man even appeared on the scene. But maybe it was the dinosaur industrial complex or Sabre Tooth Tiger Industries.

Thanks, We do or have done a lot of innovative things; some that work and a few that didn't. Our snow fighting process is a model for other cities on this parallel. EPOKE was partner in a lot of the R&D and I imagine still is.

So you want a gripe session do ya? OK then: What's with morons in parking lots? Pedestrians, can't see the driver's face at the wheel, which means the driver can't see them, see the back-up lights on, rush behind the car. Trying to get hit maybe? Or the drivers, in the parking lot driving at near road speed when people are walking and cars are backing out. Or the $#^#$^&*^&( who park in the Emergency Lane waiting while someone has to run in and "Pick up something and will only be a minute!" Or the subset &*^%$$ who parks in front of the sloped ramp leading from the grocery store, effectively blocking the grocery carts. Or the )&%$^* (*^%/ who parks in the handicapped slots without being handicapped, or isn't ferrying the person in whose name the handicapped sticker was issued. There. I feel better. Thanks
