Happy Caturday Q sters,

The white stuff is falling at a fast pace. Roads are not good, then again, people don't know how to drive in it. Could be worst, we could be like Newfoundland. Hopefully Newiescreech is doing OK. Take care out there.

Did you know?


It was on this day in 2005 that the world's largest commercial jet, the Airbus A380, is unveiled in France. To date, Emirates Airlines is by far the world's largest A380 operator. Airbus has announced that the A380 production line is set to close in 2021.

Happy Blue Monday Q sters,

The sun is shining, that brightens the day up for me. Even tho it's cold now, it will warm up this afternoon. 2 months from today is the 1st day of Spring. The days are getting longer, not so dark at 5:30pm, when i leave work.
Have a great day!

Good morning fellow Canucks!

I didn't mind the snow on Saturday. I am very glad we didn't have the Newfoundland snow, but what we got was sufficient.
Why am I so happy about it? I was able to use the snow blower for the first time this season. Oh what fun! I went up and down the sidewalk for several doors down in either direction, if a neighbour was out shoveling, I would save their backs and use my toy on their driveways. One of my neighbours gave me a little bag of cookies!

This reminds me of a joke...

Q: Why was the snowman so happy?
A: He saw the snow blower coming

Here is another...

Q: What is the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman?
A: Snowballs

On that cheerful note, have a great day!

You’re likely unaware that this year is the 100th anniversary of Citroën. While doing some research I happened to stumble upon a fascinating bit of wartime Citroën lore. It involves screwing with Nazis in a genuinely clever and subtle way that nevertheless had big repercussions. I'll explain.

So, when France was occupied by the Germans in 1940, major French factories like Citroën were forced to produce equipment for the Nazis. Citroën president Pierre-Jules Boulanger knew he couldn't just refuse to produce anything, but he also knew there's no way in hell he's going to just roll over and build trucks for a bunch of filthy Nazis. Pierre had a plan.

John Reynold's book Citroën 2CVdescribes Boulanger's sabotage efforts. Of course, he instructed workers to set a nice, leisurely pace when building trucks (likely Citroën T45 trucks) for the Wehrmacht, but that's fairly obvious. What was brilliant was Boulanger's idea to move the little notch on the trucks' oil dipsticks that indicated the proper level of oil down just a bit lower.

By moving the notch down, the trucks would not have enough oil, but German mechanics would have no idea, because, hey, the little notch on the dipstick says its just fine. Then, after the truck has been used for a while and is out deployed somewhere crucial, whammo, the engine seizes up, and you've got a lot of angry, stranded, vulnerable Nazis, balling up their little fists and madly barking curses in German.



It's such a fantastic act of sabotage: it's extremely cheap to implement, it's subtle, there's no way to see something amiss is happening as the trucks are being built, and it delivers its blow away from the site of the sabotage and when it will cause the most inconvenience and trouble.

That's some mighty good sabotaging, Pierre.

Happy 100th Anniversary, Citroën.

The Free World thanks you.
