     Today, for any of you history buffs, is Black Friday. It was on this day in 1959 that the Diefenbaker lead Parliament cancelled the CF-105 Avro Arrow program. All five flying aircraft, all aircraft in production, all tooling and equipment was to be immediately scrapped.  And it was. Very few portions of the program exists today. A landing gear and a nose  cone. It should be noted that prior to building the Arrow the RCAF had conducted a fact finding mission whereby they had viewed the F-101 being built by MacDonald Douglas. The aircraft was rejected stating "at it would never meet Canada's air defence requirements". After  the cancellation of the Arrow the RCAF took possession of more than sixty F-101's. The Voodoos served Canada well but they were not the Arrow that Canadians had designed and built.

     Here at THE WAYWARD INN my BETTER HALF and I spent some time cleaning windows, inside and out. Mind you the insides look better than outsides. I'll have to do them again.

     The renovations to THE WAYWARD INN will soon be completed. The doors may be mounted tomorrow and the electrician is supposedly showing up as well. We brought the living room furniture back in so now we have a second place to relax away from Loin Fruit #1. Next Tuesday should be lots of fun...Report Card Day.
