Well Karl,

I'm glad you could at least stop by long enough to say hello. How are the black flies? Have they found their way out of hiding yet? They say that this year is supposed to be bad for black flies & those pesky mosquitoes.

We'll have a welcome home party for you, when you get back.

Twin sisters in a Newfoundland Nursing Home were turning one hundred years old.

The editor of the local newspaper told a photographer to get over there and take
pictures of the two 100 year old twins. One of the twins was hard of hearing and
the other could hear quite well.

Once the photographer arrived he asked the sisters to sit on the sofa.

The deaf sister said to her twin, "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
"WE GOTTA SIT OVER THERE ON THE SOFA!", said the other.

"Now get a little closer together," said the cameraman.

Again, "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
"HE SAYS SQUEEZE TOGETHER A LITTLE."
So they wiggled up close to each other.

"Just hold on for a bit longer, I've got to focus a little," said the photographer.

Yet again, "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
"HE SAYS HE'S GONNA FOCUS!"

With a big grin, the deaf twin shouted out, "OH LARD GEEZ! BOTH OF US????"

Slash does his Hendrix imitation of the national anthem
at the start of the Kings game... pretty good, not too extreme.

Hi Everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the nice summer like day today!!! I've been out walking around my area since 8 a.m. My daughter and I thought we'd go look around at some of the yard sales and ended up walking around until 3 p.m. at which point we were starving so we stopped in a fish and chips place I've never been to on Queen Street down here - they were really good. We did pretty good at a few of the sales, she got some new designer items, bag, dress and pants for $13, some spanish tapes and books for nothing(good as she wants to learn Spanish and a few other things. I got a pet mate - le bistro - something that holds a lot of water for your pets in case your away for a couple of days (needed one as the other one got a crack in it), a new garlic press, new measuring cup, new cashmere sweater and some DVDS and CDS - all for $12. Not bad! They do the yardsale for the cure down here on this weekend every year. Then we walked over the Woofstock which is down here now. So many cute doggies!!!!! OMG!!! Then spent some time down by the lake.

In all the years I've worked in animal advocacy, I have to say that the treatment of pigs on this planet is, perhaps, the most deplorable. This particular group of beings suffers tremendously. And only one other group is responsible: Us. As Eckhart Tolle said to me, "Humanity is accruing an enormous debt of karma by its treatment of animals."


- well said - how anyone could not agree is totally beyond me - just try "living" like that - omg, omg!!!!

Happy Caturday Q sters,
What a totally awesome day today. weather was perfect & my new lawn tractor arrived this afternoon. i read all the instructions & was doing all the preliminary checks before using & noticed the right front tire was soft. added some air to it & finished off the checks & was getting ready to fire it up & noticed the tire was low again. Great, new mower & the tire won't stay inflated. called Sears & told this & they are sending a dude out on Mon or Tues to have a look. mean time i inflated it so i could get the hay field cut again. oooh, it was so nice & smooth & this new model comes with a beverage holder, nice. tomorrow will be crawling under the deck to repair the water line to get the pool open & garden watered. it will be even better weather wise tomorrow & Mon is suppose to have a humidex, YES!
BTW HG, meteor show is also going on tonight, if you missed it last night.

If you weren't late paying your insurance premium, you wouldn't have to run...

Cue the duck...........................Aflac!

LITTLE MANITOU LAKE
SOURCE: SASKATCHEWAN TOURISM

The Dead Sea in Israel is world-renowned. As one of the world’s first health resorts, people have traveled there for thousands of years, looking to experience that weird salty buoyancy or with fervent hopes of addressing various health ailments. But you don’t have to go all the way to the Mediterranean to seek relief or float in water while reading a book. You can go to Saskatchewan.
Wha? Many people — including Canadians — don’t know that Canada has its own Dead Sea. And in the heart of the prairies of all places. Little Manitou Lake, near Watrous, Saskatchewan, is the only saltwater lake in the country (and one of a handful in North America), and while it carries a lower salinity (more on that later), it is comparable to the Dead Sea and the Karlovy Vary hot springs in the Czech Republic.

Plus, the waters come with their own legend.

Located halfway between Regina and Saskatoon, Little Manitou Lake stretches 14 miles long by a mile wide. A tourist destination that has seen its popularity wax and wane, the area boasts a resurrected resort, the Manitou Springs Resort and Mineral Spa — with its brownish water pools in four different temperatures — campgrounds and other attractions related to the legendary lake.
So what makes a dead sea, well … dead? And why do we float instead of sink? Here’s a short lesson. Little Manitou is called a terminal lake (or, an endorheic basin, if you want to impress your friends with your ecological smarts). With rain and snow as its only source of water, it doesn’t flow out into rivers and streams. Without a steady flow, the water is calm for long periods, and as evaporation occurs, the salinity, or saltiness, near the bottom increases.
It reaches a point when the water can no longer hold the salt in a dissolved state. The resulting density of minerals — which, by the way, is approximately five times that of oceans — means that objects in saltwater are more buoyant than in fresh water. The saltier the water, the more buoyant any object in the water. So in salt lakes, it’s nearly impossible to sink. And extreme salinity means not much can grow in it, either.
