    I agree that the photographer gave a lot of thought, on lens opening, speed & such to get a photo as eye-catching as that one. My compliments to the photographer.

    Since my old stove gave up a few yrs ago & since I do not cook lovely suppers for myself. A low on cost Black & Decker sort of oven has done the job for me especially in frozen foods.

    Panasonic is something I can use for small extra things, to be warmed up, at the same time & this is my 2nd Panosonic in something like back in '77, though admit this new Panasonic was purchased 4 yrs ago.

    I think I will stick with the above though not that great.

    I came from a Sunday indoor handgun shooting sport, I usually run, & the skies were brown with smoke from such a distance away. Fortunately we had our short downpower of rain, but not near enough to help the people in putting out the many Provincial wild forest fires that are so common to this Province.

    Unfortunately the water-bomber aircraft was in some bad gullies & with a bit of wind they ran into dramatic trouble. Just a few years ago in the same area, a chopper went down in trying to help put out some of the many fires & believe me we have a LOT of wild fires in this Province of B.C.

    Unfortunately the above crashed water-bomber ALSO started ANOTHER of many forest fires in some very tough terrain.

    A tourist will also find out that campfires are not only half the normal size, but not to be permitted. Also that smoking is a fine not only in the dry terrain, but also on the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean or the many lakes sandy shores.

    I can see a properly built electric scooter as going over well ESPECIALLY as it will only require 110 volt plug in to build up the battery.

    Problem with most scooters of 49cc is that they are two-stroke & people do not know how to pre-mix the fuel. Now with an automatic lubricating system in it then it would gain again, but in some countries they are downing 2-stroke in lawnmore, power saw, compressore, & so much more.

    Both Yamaha have a much better outlook in the world of m/cs to scooters as they have established parts to repair shops almost in every city around Canada. Something the Chinese do NOT have & it is hard to obtain parts let alone any shop service which is not like any of the big four m/c makers like Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, & Kawasaki HAVE.

    It is a pity one chap mentioned how his battery broke-down in just one season. I ride m/cs & all are hooked up to a system called Battery Tender meaning as soon as I come home the bike is blugged in, for its battery, & the Battery Tender will charge up fully, but not overcharge. Meanining I am getting well over 9 yrs of use for my m/c batteries even in the Winter months of where the bikes are NOT used.

    Saw this last evening on TV & wondered as to why this was of such an interest, but then though a maze of people would be pushing in to see, photography & smell it rotting away. Sorry but not of interest to me as it has been to others.

    Lovely photo & the costume is with a maze of interesting patterns & colours in it. So it is outstanding for Japan & this young woman. I wish her the best.

    Agree only a fool would be sitting in this sun. As for the beer, well the gals look fine, but I have never touched any form of liquor in my life.

    The photographer came up with the ideal shot. Still if that is a float it simply amazes me for there must be 32 men in-on it. Opps probably more for I did not realize more were on top of the sort of roof.

    Yes we remember Dennis Rodman to his attempts at movies, but also remember Michal Jordan as well. Both stars to all of us in basketball.

    And to think they have found a maze of one type of dinosaurs in just one new part of Alberta. Mostly vegitable dinasaurs, but then fighters as well yet they seemed to move into this terrain yearly & so much is to be learned about their history & why such a big breed of them in such an area.

    Nice to see the team with a good crowd. As a team they did far better then most would have assumed. So they deserve the crowd welcoming them back to home.

    Tom Cruise is an interesting actor that can excell if he wants. Take for instance his delight in handeling a bow & arrow, but ashamed he was hopless with a long sword, but besides his interest in bow & air he did well when it came to using a sword.

    An interesting actor I must admit, but that one as a mail man was sort of in another world when it came to the movie & acting, not to mention some of his earler plays as a young western cowboy with two h/guns.

    Seemed that most of the people were with sun shades on while only a few at the front had the real 3-D glasses. Possibly that is because of the strobe or flash
