CBC News - Canada - Battle over future of Fokker D.VII divides Knowlton, Que.




As some of you know, World War I & II aircraft are a real passion for me. The Fokker D. VII mentioned below was the best German fighter of the First World War and a whole generation of allied fighters were needed to counter it. It was the only aircraft mentioned by name in the Versailles Treaty.

Anyway, here's a very interesting story from the CBC about the only D. VII in the world in its orginal condition.

Sucess but no time

The first week of school went well. We are very busy but settling in to a hectic regualr schedule. Work is up for both us and both girls are back at the rink at Can Skate/Figure Skating.

I am at work, and have no time to write now. This is in part because we have a private showing of our house tonight at 5:30 and an open house for our place on Sunday.

The White Stripes - We're Going To Be Friends

This is the last night that we have a pre-schooler sleeping in our house. Brave, sweet Super Girl makes her way into Grade One tomorrow.

Here is my all-time favourite "back to school" song. A simple song for a more innocent time.


The Simpsons - Union Strike Song and Classical Gas

Happy Labour Day 2010
One of my favourite Simpsons moments.
