The reality is, "Reggie" is one of the master trolls of this newsgroup.
Perhaps you are not familiar with his record here, in which he posted
with something like 50 different aliases, and like the others with
nothing to contribute, came by (and still comes by) only to drop off
fresh turds.

In other words, he didn't agree with everything Harry said. Nor did he like
Harry's constant name-calling.

I keep waiting for Tom to drop in and say something to Harry about that.
But, maybe some form of immunity exists for those who can't control
themselves.

I gave up John.

If only because of things like the above.

You, Harry, Don, Dan, Dingle, Berry and all the rest just can't stop -
it's in your blood - it will never end because nobody has the
discipline to just let it go and get on with things.

In a lot of ways, Chuck is right - the group has gone to hell in a
hand basket. I've tried to keep things light, break up the little
spit fests and shoe peeing contests with a little humor, fool around a
little, but you and the usual suspects are like addicts - you have no
wish to reform or even try.

Unfortunate.

You give up too soon.

The irony of all this...JohnH was a *self appointed sheriff* who claimed
that he wanted to improve the newsgroup.
Finally, it's about time someone set the record straight and exposed the
real trolls and agitators.

Well, Don, I let things slide pretty far for me, but the only REAL
troll, I know of is the self appointed cement expert.

To show that I am a law abidin' peace loving man, I have a little 'good news
story' re USS Wasp visit.
Local paper reports that 20 crew members from the USS Wasp volunteered to do
landscaping work on Dead Man's Island where about 160 American prisoners
from the war of 1812 are buried.
Last month a small contigent of Americam service men held a memorial there
and I suspect it will now be a yearly function.
Deadman's Island is just below the Armdale Yacht Club on Melville Island
where the old military prison was located.

Going to take that trip next week, dad wants to hang in Digby and
Rosey's Cove? IIrc. Hope the food is good, if not I will be ****ed and
have to give your whole country a purple nurple and that could take a
while.

mmmmm.... fresh Digby scallops! That's about a 2.5 hour drive from here.
We had a nice trip down early May to see my sister and we continued on to
the breeders to get our Springer Spaniel 's hair cut.

Now Rosey's Cove??? I'll have to dig out my provincial atlas to see where
that is.

BTW If you're anywhere near Halifax from July 01-08, I'd recommend catching
a performance of the Tattoo.

Wife and I have been invited to the July1 opening night performance in my
brother-in-laws 'skybox'.

Almost forgot...if you're a bagpipe fan...run, don't walk here for the July
08 'Pipefest'
If 1000 marching pipers don't get your heart beating double time, you'd
better check your pulse...it may already be too late!

Maybe it's just me, but don't some people ever open an atlas, even

Absolutely true story.

I'm in the Post Office and talking Red Sox with the Post Master. In
walks this well dressed guy and asks where Woodstock, CT is.

Now on his way into town (and I know this because I saw him drive into
the parking lot) there are twelve signs saying something about
Woodstock. For instance, right at the Putnam/Woodstock town line
there is a HUGE sign waying welcome to Woodstock. He had to pass
Woodstock Plaza - another big sign. He had to drive past the
Woodstock Fair Grounds which you can't miss. The huge Woodstock
Community Bulletin Board which posts things like retirements,
homecomings for troops, town events, etc., named oddly enough, the
Woodstock Community BB, Woodstock Commons. And as he pulls into the
PO parking lot, there is a huge sign that says USPS Woodstock, CT, S.
Woodstock annex.

Now get this. He's looking for NEPS (a local handicapped/rehab place
that does work with the more challenged of lifes's inhabitants) in
which the S. Woodstock PO is located - another big sign right next to
the car.

Here's the funny part. The Post Master looks at me, I looked at him
with this "WTF?" look and the Post Master says "I have no idea". So
the guy thanks him, turns and walks out, gets in his car and leaves!!

Abut two minutes later, he pulls back in, gets out, slams the car door
shut and stomps into NEPS. :)


Canadian?


Hey, excuse the interruption, but...your pictures 'over there' were
great!
You must have had a blast. Where were you flying?

I flew out of Buchanan Field, Concord. We flew on the back side of Mt.
Diablo. The Sacramento Delta to the North, SF Bay to the West, the
mountain
to the south and Los Vaqueros Reservoir to the east.



OK. I though it may have been the Long Beach area with all the tanks, but
I
couldn't spot anything familiar. Now I know why!

We did a some of the flying over the old Port Chicago Weapons Station.
