UAW, Throw’s their elders to the Lions.

I held off a bit,  until I was fairly sure it was true that the UAW would stoop to these levels.

What kind of an self serving, cowardly, underhanded organization,  throws thousands of it elders to the lions,  to save itself a small bit of comfort?  What kind of a government,  allows this type of deciet and dishonesty to flourish?   ANGRY RETIREE’S?  Yes I think so,    As far as I’m concerned,  the whole lot of them can,,,

LATE HARVEST

Posted by Greybeard on May 28th, 2009 in Fishing, Local | 0 comments

If you notice a 25ft SportCraft Fishmaster,  with the name,  “LATE HARVEST“,  look for a grey bearded pilot. 

I kicked around names for quite a while before finally picking “Late Harvest“.  I was leaning toward, “IASGAIR“,  pronounced “EE-UH-SKATH”  in Scot-Gaelic,  but considering that it would be my radio call sign,  and that very few people would recognize “ee-uh-skath”  as “Iasgair”,  I decided against it.  (By the way,  Iasgair,  means “fisherman”).

Fox and Kit’s

Posted by Greybeard on May 26th, 2009 in Local | 0 comments

Back in late winter/early spring,  I posted about a pair of Foxes playing and hunting on the other side of the river.  I posted a couple of poor photo’s  and stated that I thought the female may have been pregnant,  and if so I’d try to get a photo of the kit’s.   The photo above was a perfect opportunity to follow up that statement.   It was about a week ago and we noticed a Kit,  playing on the seawall.  By the time I grabbed the camera,  and took the photo,  all I can really make out is the mother,  sitting in the grass near the center of the picture.    She sat there watchfully,  as the Kit’s were playing.  We actually got to watch the two Kit’s play a bit,  before I ran for the camera.   I’m not sure if the Kit’s are visible in this photo,  I’m thinking I may have missed them. 

Network Down

Our Charter service has been down since last Thursday night.   We had a long holiday weekend without TV or Internet.   I don’t suppose it really hurt us any,  it was a good weekend.   

Socialist?

I suppose this is another effect of Political Correctness?

You can’t call a socialist,  a SOCIALIST!
