I couldn’t get a picture

but I saw a PBV Catalina ( I assume it was a PBV and not a PBY since it was in Canada, which would, I think, make it an OA-10)

Man, it was pretty. I saw it on the ground in the Kincardine airport, and in the air over Owen Sound. There was also a DeHavilland Beaver flying around. A tight DHC-2 Beaver is a half million bucks, I have no idea what the PBV costs or costs to operate- an 18 ton (empty!) aircraft with two 14 cylinder pratt-whitney radials?

Someone still has some money.

One thing I have to say about the Canuckistanis

Is they are the walkingest bunch of motherfuckers you ever saw.

Sure, we got people who walk or ride their bikes in the states, but outside of obvious hippie enclaves, the only reason anyone walks is too many DUI’s. In Canuckistan, people with perfectly good cars, who are not obviously broke or poor, will walk to a store and buy stuff, or walk to a friend’s house to visit.

Freaky.

Lots of skinny people, possibly as a result of this, possibly some meth use thrown in there by the appearance of teeth.

My brotherinlaw’s next door neighbor is moving from his childhood home and residence of some 60 years. It pisses him off because he won’t be able to walk to his hockey games, he’s creeping up on 65 and still plays hockey 5 days a week.

I sduppose if I could hunt for aq couple hours a day I would, so I guess that’s not all that strange. Still, hockey! goofball.
