Lest We Forget

No Friday Funnies today. Just rememberance of Martin Cooper, who flew Catalinas on the Iceland run. And Dad,(John Thomas Cooper) who built pipelines and roads to Alaska then served in the RCAF until 1948. Eugene (Robbie)Bain who served with the RCAF from 1938 to 1968. And Alistair "Scotty" Bain who went to Korea with the Army, came home and joined the Navy in 1965 to spend 20 years in SAR. They all came back to stand at the cenotaphs for their friends - and time has now claimed them all. So it falls to us to remember. And the flag they fought for. At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the elventh month stop to remember.

A Pittance of Time

When the technician arrived on May 9, he installed a landline, the TELUS TV hookup, and the Fibre Internet. Still, he had not switched the telephone number over from my old location at that time; he said that he had placed an order to have it switched over on May 14.  On that day, May 10, the network technicians at TELUS were unable to switch the landline to my new location because they discovered an error in the address and cancelled the order. They then left a message on the voicemail of my old telephone number, telling me that the move had been postponed until the 14th, when I called.  I called T...
