When I think of what Madame Currie died from, and remember too that not
so long along, we used to have those clocks that glowed in the dark
with numbers and hour markers and minute and hour hands, coated with 
radium.  A plant east of Toronto used to make them in the 1960s even
with the knowing that the employees were at risk.

  Aaaah yes....

   Somewhere I have a copy of the music written to remember the Napoleon
invasion of Russia.   The 1812 Overture ... great piece, and I enjoy
most of all the original scoring of the music, and all that went with
it to commenorate the great victory.

   One day, perhaps, we will know if President Bush's military advisors
had advised invading Iraq or not.  Sooner or later, bad or good the 
real history does surface, and I like that, rather then the stuff the
stuff they write which is "approved" to teach.     He certainly doesn't
display anything like a wartime leader would display.   Typical
politician , no brains.

  Our weather, mostly comes from the North-West.  Mostlikely why in
the summer, I don't need an air conditioner.  Light Nor westers keep
it cool at night.

 AK> What about the wind at Simcoe? Is it strong and northen? Do you have
 AK> calm days?

  Mostly from North-West, but we do have a few direction changes. When
I was out sailing. I tried to get out before 9:00AM to clean the coastal
effects, and I found around 12:00 noon, that the lake would become very
calm, and the boat would almost stop, which forced me into light air
sails, and looking for thermos.


  BTW... I am sorry I have been out of touch for sometime, I had the
Bprograms I use, self-destruct and when I went to re-instal they did not
want to run, so now I have them going with it seems only problems with
the Blue Wave offline Reader for the QWKmail.

  Take care ... catch you next time around....
