We've got about 9000 homeless in the area, and about half of them are
women and small children.

That, in a "red" state? You guys should practice what you preach.

Funny you mention the red state vs. blue state when talking about the
homeless.

Maryland is a blue state and I would assume that Harry is talking about it
because he lives there.

Washington D.C. is a blue state if you will and they have a very large
homeless problem.

Virginia is a red state and they don't seem to have the homeless problem
that Maryland or D.C. have.

I imagine they give homeless folks a metrocard if they will go across the
bridge.
The reality is homeless folks will cluster around the spigot where the welfare
money flows.

It's perfect weather in my perfect back yard, in my perfect town.
That's because I'm perfect. I can't figure out why my wife ran off on
me, maybe because I'm such a perfect person that she couldn't cope.


She ran off, because you kept doing identity theft!

Our weather has been low 30's in the morning, with thick tule fog.
Afternoon is mid to high 60's. And some sunshine. Fog is keeping me from
boating the Sacramento Delta.

Has a lot to do with the red state right-wing churches taking care of their
own...

While the godless libs in the blue states toss 'em out and want everyone
else to take car of them.

That should be good for some left-wing spittle on the keyboard!

Hi Bill:
You could not have picked any more beautiful area to take your
camping/fishing trip than Vancouver Island.

How many days do you have for your trip? There are so many things to see
and do on the Island that a trip up to the Sunshine Coast may be just too
far.

The Pacific Rim area of Vancouver Island is just spectacular! Tofino and
Ucluelet are lovely.

Unless you have lots of time, like several weeks, then my advice is to stay
on the Island.

Check this out. www.vancouverisland.com/towns.html this will give you
the milages and some explainations of "whats there"

Basically, the Sunshine Coast is the other side of Georgia Strait from
Nanaimo. Victoria is farther south. You might want to consider one of BC
Ferries' "Circle Tours" - you start on the Mainland, go to Victoria, north
up the Island, then across to the Sunshine Coast and back south.

Strathcona park is nice toward the north, Campbell River area. Or if
you're adventurous, Cape Scott Park at the northern tip ( ;) )

But be sure to check out "WCVI" (West Coast Vancouver Island)!

I have been to Vancouver Island before, but not for a lot of years. We took
the ferry boat to Prince Rupert in about 1971. Have only seen the mainland
side of the island. Taking the Truck with camper and I think the Jetcraft
boat. Probably 4-5 weeks. Semi-retired is nice. Take 4-5 days each way to
Canada. From San Francisco area. Visit friends in Portland and Salem, OR
as well as wife's relative in Seattle.
