    Gigartina Stellata... and the Skookumchuk.

    Now pretty much anyone on the coast of British Columbia has probably heard of the Skookumchuk. Even up here, it is, if not legendary, then certainly renowned and well known for the ferocity of its

    Gigartine Stellata

    Gigartina Stellata.. In 1969, I was at the University of Victoria, in my final year. I was completing a 4 year course with the intent of working in the marine biology, or some such related field. [As it happened, I wound up employed as a pulmonary function tech at Victoria General Hospital

    Been really busy that last couple of days... The fire has grown to about 900 acres...

    While the forestry people are still advocating their victories over the fire, we are still skeptical about their promises. So, we are just staying close and making certain that everything that could burn, is well watered or removed. At times, the smoke is so bad, we cannot even see the highway...

    The art of the insult!!!!

    These glorious insults are from an era when cleverness with words was still valued, before a great portion of the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words, not to mention waving middle fingers. The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor: She said, "If you were my husband I'd give...

    WWII airman trivia...

    You would think by now that every significant, or even modestly interesting, fact about World War II had been unearthed and posted on the Internet. You might have to do some digging, of course, but somewhere in Cyberland, you can find out the brand name of Field Marshal Montgomery's favorite...

    Not my usual diving story... but one on the affirmation of life

    This story is a true one that happened about 4 years back. I was driving, today, up to the snowshoe gravel pit to shovel in some pit run and happened to remember this story since part of it occurred at this pit. For the record, this is an absolutely true story. Rusty is a gentleman who lives on...

    Like Dan, I feel the need to apologize for my lack of input lately..

    I know that being busy is a common excuse, but I have no other. :): We have been babysitting our grandkids 5 days a week while our daughter is teaching at school. That plus the usual farm chores and trying disparately to get the cabin up have been occupying much of our time. I will try to do...

    Damn bears!!! :):

    Just got in from a major fence repair. We were sitting on the front porch having cuppa and just relaxing after the mornings work. As we are sitting there, we hear a screeeaaach... ping! Looking up, we see, at the front of the driveway, a large black bear, ping-ponging between the fences at the...

    I posted this last year.. but I still wanted to share this with my family here..

    It was 39 years ago today, that the young couple walked, with trembling feet and uncertain hearts, down the aisle towards a future together. They were not sure of their future together, [he had not job, nor any prospects at the time; she only did part time work gardening]. However, with love...

    Another good walk today... After we got the car really stuck in the mud!! :):

    Went up to Bridges point today and we tried to drive right out to it. BIG MISTAKE!!!. The frost is coming out of the ground and the roadway there was a mire. So, naturally, we got slimed in. However, with some diligent pushing, and wrangling, we freed up the car, moved it to higher ground and...
