Battleship, followed by Hot Tub Time Machine....I don't know how long your cruise is going to be, but I suspect it's going to seem long!- DNO

Birding - A Civilized Pastime
That's a great way to start birding. That's how my wife and I started birding several years ago. We just have a small backyard in a large urban area, yet we eventually had over 60 species of birds that had landed in our yard. We do have the advantage of being only 100 metres or so from Lake...- DNO

What Are You Reading
Like you, I've decided that I should know more about the Korean War. Motivated by the fact that my son is teaching English there, I've been picking up books on the war for the past little while. I have a decent collection now and I'm just waiting for the right mood to dive into them...- DNO

Though a long time collector of RCN and RN items, I don't usually pick up the occasional US Navy item that crosses my path but I found this one in a local thrift store for a couple of dollars and couldn't resist it. It's the Navy yearbook for 1944 and the ads in it are terrific. [/URL][/IMG]...- DNO

Today in History
On this very day in 1892 in the town of Falls River, Massachusetts, both Andrew and Abby Borden met their messy demise at the hands of an axe murderer. Police charged their argumentative daughter, Lizzie, with the crime and, despite the implied guilt bandied about in the nursery rhyme, she was...- DNO

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
No Butterscotch Ripple? Used to be my favourite when I was a kid. As far as quality, it seems most modern ice cream has become slop. There's a local maker, Kawartha Dairies, that still makes decent ice cream but it can be difficult to find.- DNO

Up here, that's a perfectly legitimate question. They're trying to cut back on the use of disposable plastic bags. Most people here now use their own cloth, reusable grocery bags. Most retailers will charge 5 cents a bag for the disposable ones...even the Sally Ann thrift shops!- DNO

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Nice looking accordion, R.S. This set of a fruit bowl with two candlesticks came from a local contents sale. They are Limoges lustre ware, from 1925. The house had a number of absolutely wonderful pieces of arts and crafts furniture, all going for a song...but I had neither room in the house...- DNO

Thanks...lucky find, again. Toronto has, fortunately, progressed from it's puritanical "Toronto-the-Good" past. Pretty well everything is open on Sundays now, although in the thrift shop vein, all the Salvation Army shops are still closed. 'They' are predicting a warmer than normal summer...- DNO
