Pensioners Rants - Jack Sakalauskas -

TODAY- The weather was warm yesterday and to-day. Right now being 21 C which is 70 F
YARD SALE - Actually there was a street sale yesterday. The more families that take part the better. Lots of peple wandering around and my wife was happy with the results.
VICUNAS - If you don't know what they are, here you go Peruvians Shear Vicunas in Annual Roundup What surprised me was how the population increased from 12,000 to 200,000. Maybe they are related to rabbits. But seriously, here is a national resource that was almost lost. A great example of using what you have available.
MICROSOFT - Paul Allen is the co-founder of Microsoft but you never hear his name mentioned. All you hear about is Bill gates. Why is that ? Vintage Warplanes Going Airborne Again
BIRD FLU - You don't hear much about it anymore. It is still going on and people are still dying. But the mid-east deserves more attention at this time.
More people being killed every day.
What I don't understand is why Americans and Canadians are working and living there. Sure, maybe you have relatives there etc, etc. But your family left there for a reason. And walking around with a Canadian flag and especially American flag on your shoulder isn't going to help much. When you sit on a powder keg, you are asking for trouble. And it is quite possible that soldiers can be killed trying to bring them out.
MOUNTIES - Heard to-day that those two mounties that got shot in Sask. died. It appears to me that more mounties seem to be getting shot. It never used to be like that. And the sad part is that many are shot just trying to break up a family fight.
