Another late night.
This shit has got to stop.
Does anyone ever check the time that I am writing this stuff? 

I hsd a really good rant all worked out for you but I think I'll sleep on it. I have some new shots of the WW II Spitfire Mechanic for you to see.

More later. G'night.

     So here's the deal.

     Yesterday I heard that the Obama administration has had a set back in its healthcare reform.  The US Supreme Court has ruled against the reform and now millions of citizens may have their health care nullified.

     Once again the 1% is getting their way.
Am I correct in thinking that the State's were founded in a protest against the 1% - English Rule. What if this becomes the catalyst for another US revolution. I could see it happening. Forces of those who don't have or can't afford healthcare certainty out number those who can.

     This is something to think about and be thankful that you are Canadian.

     Now that my invitational rant is off my chest there are other things of importance to discuss from here in the Valley.

     Our two Japanese students arrive this afternoon. Couch Monkey #2 has been relocated to the bonus room which means he has sole access to a large flat screen tv. It also means that I'll have to wear my headset when playing WORLD of TANKS - my latest favourite video game. And who wouldn't like this virtual operation of a steel dinosaur that spits hot lead. It is an absolute BLAST !

     Its an overcast day and drizzling slightly. Its all good as we need the respite from the heat. The rain, a constant light shower,  is greatly beneficial for the forest. Those of you who spend any time Out in the Weeds know what I am tslking about. This doesn't mean that the campfire ban will be lifted any time soon. It would take at least a week of precipitation to achieve that.

     I found a Bear Bell at Seal Bay Park.  A bear bell, it sounds like a sleigh bell, and is worn to alert a bear that a person is approaching and hopefully it departs the area.

     In places populated by both black and grizzly bears you can tell the difference by their scat. Black bear scat is about two or so inches in diameter,  piled about four inches high, is usually black in colour and contains undigested berry seeds. Grizzly bear scat is three inches or so in diameter, piled about five inches high, is usually black in colour and contains undigested bear bells.

     On a good note, a set of MY BOOK has arrived. The joy I am feeling is indescribable.
