Museum Piece?

Wonder when someone will want to put me into a museum?

I used to ride with my grandfather in a truck like this to visit his brother who had the only TV in the community. Guess I am beginning to think I am getting old but I don't feel that old yet. I still have not decided what I want to do when I grow up.

(We saw this truck in the Museum of Civilization in Ottawa last week.)

Scanner Testing

Thanks to Eglantine's daughter and son-in-law, we have a scanner. This was the first slide that I tried on the scanner and it worked well. This is a scan of a slide that I took while on an outdoor survival camp in February of 1978 up north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It was -30 on our camp out night.

Slow shutter speed but high highway speed equals strange figures.

Old Memory

This photo is so old that my beard is still dark. It's been a while since I played in whitewater but the memory is still good.

I put an 1980 date for the photo but I am really not sure. I just remember doing a lot of swimming on that weekend of "canoe" practice.

Finally!

The snow has been very slow to arrive this year. We almost have the ground covered now but there are only flurries in the forecast. I have been watching temperatures from our previous home places in Kansas and northern Ontario. So far this winter it has often been colder in Kansas than either here or in northern Ontario.
