    Halifax- The Herald building

    Was that the place with the Tim Hortons? Shameful that that's how it's familiar to me. Good bye, squarish monstrosity! Never again will I sip coffee in thy lower floor (assuming that is the locatin in question).

    Tetley, please! One sugar and two milk, or black. Tout ou rien.

    Canadians in the Lounge?

    Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Foggy all the time and sweltering hot and sunny today. I loves it.

    my imagination or did i wake up in the wrong time

    I think you hit the nail square on the head right here. Every generation thinks the youth of their day is hell-bound. I once read a paper that quoted a person from every century saying the same thing. I've been told I was born in the wrong time, and I've been asked many times when I would...

    High School Senior Pics

    I understand the practicality of adding growing room for a growing boy, but I advise against it. Whether he grows or not, that picture is going to last forever, and he'll look much better if he's wearing clothes that are intended to fit him now - not later. I'm a little bitter on the...

    What Are You Reading

    The Adventures of Robin Hood by Paul Creswick. Very cool reprint by Reader's Digest of a 1903 edition. Great illustrations as well. Strangely enough, you can read the entire thing online here: http://sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/rh/index.htm

    Dixon, I did mean the S-38! The one in the picture there is Osa's Ark, isn't it?

    do you have a vintage partner? Show us your mate

    This is about as vintage as my wife gets! She did her hair up to surprise me one day. What a gal.

    Golden Era Aircraft

    I love the Sikorsky S98. Beautiful plane, and something kind of romantic about it too.

    Who Does Without TV?

    I don't think I have ever not owned a television at all, except for a brief time when I was in university, but I have never had cable, satellite, etc, and have always dealt exclusively with "Peasant Vision", the two channels that come over the air, although I don't watching them. I have my TV...

    Does anyone listen to the radio any more?

    Does the US have a radio station similar to the BBC, or CBC?

    Does anyone listen to the radio any more?

    Perhaps this is the difference. In SW Nova Scotia, I can only receive a few stations. One comes from the town I live in. In fact, the studio is only a five minute walk from my apartment. The other comes from a town a couple of hours away, and the third big one is CBC radio. I love CBC, and...

    Tips for best "all weather" hat

    I have been on the very edge of ordering a Fed IV for weeks. All I hear is good, and this post is very informative in particular because I am back packing Europe this fall for a month and I plan to wear the hat! Weather, as you can imagine, is thus very important.

    Do you have a nickname?

    I have been called Matty (obvious), Red (because of my hair), Skeeter (I have no clue, and I'm glad it's dead), and I am usually just called Verge. At sea, I am usually referred to as, "Observer", "Hey you", or "Young feller." I prefer the last one.

    What Are You Reading

    Mr Boyer, I cannot recommend Lord Peter Whimsy enough. You and him will become fast friends, I am sure, as he and I have! I regret that I did not begin them at the very first, but they were loaned by a good friend and she did not have them in order. I plan to start new, from the...
