Around here the geese have it so good they hardly ever leave the ground. In Victoria, in the 60's, they told us to watch out for two things. One was flying spider season. Those little suckers would climb to the top of trees, run out a long filament and let go, sailing away over the countryside. Just as bad as ice on the wings. The other was hunters. They weren't allowed on the property but nothing stopped them from lining up around the fences and blasting away every time some poor sod took off and scared up a blimp of birds. Nowadays the big problem is Turkey Vultures. They finally figured out that Southern Vancouver Island is a very safe place to raise young and Pat Bay airport, aka Victoria International, is thermal city. Fortunately they're almost as big as airplanes thus fairly visible in the circuit. Oh, and you guys flying behind the geese, why don't you just take your place at either end of the V? :-) :-) and :-) Clif > Actually the geese and birds aren't too dangerous------but the bumper crop > of cell phone towers sure is some days. > Mike C. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:09:00 AM PST US in the 40's Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: popsicle sticks used to laminate Piet spar in the 40's in the 40's From: harvey.rule@bell.ca --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: harvey.rule@bell.ca Is the fire in Burns Bog posing any problems for you or is it just moving all the smoke inland.My Son ,who lives in Burnaby ,told me about the fire and last night on the news they said it had increased to 9 times it's size the day before.They can't seem to control it or put it out. -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Clif Dawson Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: popsicle sticks used to laminate Piet spar in the 40's --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Clif Dawson Just be glad no one's thought of running wires up under balloons ala WW 1.
