No T Shirt2149 viewsBeen there,done that, no "T" Shirt.
One of every "Airdale's" dreaded duties, if you flew out of Elizabeth City, NC was to fly Ice Patrol from Argentia, Newfoundland. About the equivelent of a thirty day sentence in a freezer.
We actually located and plotted Ice Bergs and forecast their course.

Cougar?2102 viewsDo Cougars have rings around their tails and wear a mask?
This very day, Sep. 7 2011 two cougars were killed by the Wildlife folks very near our location.
One News report stated they were backed up by the RCMP for crowd control ??? What the heck were they doing, preventing a stampede back to Victoria?
Actually, old Wally here (a name I gave to this obviously dangerous critter) showed up on our B&B lawn and started to explain the rules of engagement to BJ and Myself.
BJ defended her crew, namely me, admirably.
