    This went into effect of NO SMOKING IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS & that means bars, to restanrants & such.

    Out come this new word of "Second Hand Tobacco Smoke" & of all things I am one of those but went through 65 yrs of my parents very heavy smokers, to my strange headaches to sometimes Migraine Headaches till when the air was clean I was free of second hand tobacco smoke.

    Now some parents are trying to smoke out of their homes & children NOT realize the stench of tobacco smoke on their clothing is somewhat harmful.

    A few yrs back in a gym I worked out in IF(?) a salesman bout to enter the gym to sell something, took his last smoke in his car, but was shocked when the owners told him to leave because of the smell of tobacco once it was smoked.

    Fashions of young women's clothing is more then eye catching & some good models as well.

    On Forum & where some of the most beautiful Asian women are showen, some of the shots of the gals shopping or whatever is ALSO an eye opener. For they have so many different variaions. Some we do no see in Western Canada & the smaller towns or cities.

    You are right about age wolfbiscuits, & to think that this old man sleeping on the bit of protection for the night, could be the results of several children in his family life.

    Unfortunately being old & drunk is not like a top rate athlete or other young sport star.

    Also when old you are not as nible as when in 20s to 50s I can assure you.

    It is a pity those teeners indangered that elderly drunk person.

    Having been a Certified Amateur Wrestling Coach for around 15 yrs it is nice to hear about this honest to gosh sport that is not only World Championship, but it can be open to other countries of closed to parts of some countries like Provinces in Canada and is held in the Olympics Games during the summer.

    Sakamoto looks enthused, but only because someone is holding her arm up while the Russian gal looks pooped out. Yet knowing about the above sports it can be exhausting to competitors that put in their best be they a winner of looser. Obviously both went all out to win in their weight class.

    It probably cost them a bit of money to have the wedding on the ice, but then they understand figure skating and this was so different rather then cost of a very costly wedding dress so many have.

    Believe me if my parents rented a room in that hotel, at my younger age, I would be glued to the railway system.

    I use to visit a friend of my father's in '39 or '39. As you came down the stair you had to lift one of he railway tressles or bridges & more to get to his main workshop where he was building more steam locamotives, to railway cars.

    Being only 8 or 9 yrs of age THAT was a true eye opener as he had so many different levels of railway lines, but he used all the basement for railway lines or sneaked some around a home heating stove, hot water tank & such.

    This chap was a fanatic for sure.

    Like smithinjapan & some others I felt this was a lovely action shot with a lot of contrast in it.

    Well even if she was out of retirement (do tennis players really retire??) having made he way up to where she was THAT was a challeng for the Russian players are a hard group of top rate tennis players in this world.

    Any man simply has to admire those two, for they are darn pretty & well dressed as well.

    Good shot of some action. I remember during the depression my Mother would haul me to a church to play the game there.

    Right now I have a friend, original from Germany, that plays the same game for tennis was way out of reach of most people. Also at over 65 yrs of age he is still doing well for he is not a light-weight man & does have a lot of muscle from his prior form of work.

    You could not drag me out of my cooler basement to see something like that for also in being with crowds of people I would feel the heat even more.

    I have had training in anti-tank weapons when in the Reserve Forces & besides the photos on the TV or in different mags with more detial tell you so much more about the various weapons.

    I agree that my 45ACP semi-auto 1911 mofided h/gun will NOT take down a tank, but do that weekly & you will feel the kick in the right hand to the elbow & that is all I need.

    That dress looks good on her & though she has some age it is still not that bad. After all some women take pretty good cage of themselves & with the money, they have earned, they have the help of others to stay attractive.

    I agree that the little girl should be given credit for crying out like that & same to the parents that tought her.

    We seem to have quite a bit of that going on in different parts of Canada & many of them actually are in the school or girls washrooms or your name it.

    I hope the chap looking at what he might get for food is NOT looking at a typical "greasy spoon" fast food place that are so common in Canada.

    I have a small kitchen, buy my groceries & cook up my own meals to my liking, to yes even my own tea or coffee.

    Here in Canada if Canada decides to fork out a mint of money to Pakistan is is not up to the common voter to say yes or no. It is done by the present Conservative Federal Govt & in turn tax the home owners to more taxes on food, clothing & such. We simply have to pay it up.

    Unfortunately the Cdn Govt will find ways to hand out MORE MONEY to the pockets of others & simply hike the taxes of the home owners or things like food, clothing, & just so much more. Basically because the President of the UN is asking for the impossible.

    One can hardly see the summit. When climing mountains in Alberta & B.C., from '47 till '60 it was lovely to see the crouds, but hardly any of the summits, but if so they were outstanding to our eyes.

    If we were not to far from farms, like many miles, it was so obvious to see the farm lands in sort of squares as so operated on.

    Yearly when I have done my Income Tax I always need a shredder to get rid of all the papers of the past. This might by my answer.
