An Open Letter to Blogit, Regarding .Dave

I am not in the habit of engaging in soap-box oratory, but I do feel compelled to add mine to the growing chorus of voices asking for the re-instatement of.Dave. Having been a member of Blogit for little more than a year-and-a-half, I have witnessed conduct that deserved to be met with expulsion and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Babe in Toyland

Aside from grazing on our plants and flowers, Bubbles likes to sit on chairs. One chair in particular, the kind that interior decorators drool over. Now the only drooling being done over it is Bubbles’. It’s no longer fit for human derrieres, nor would she allow attempts at repossession. She likes... Sign in to see full entry.

My Cat 'Bubbles'

Because all of you, as well as your uncles and aunts, are getting into the cat business, I have given in to the pressure and will introduce my cat, Bubbles. And sometimes I shall report on her activities. One of Bubbles' activities is grazing. But since she's not allowed outside, partly because of... Sign in to see full entry.

Other Life in the Universe

And here, finally, the results of my recent poll, Is There Other Life in the Universe? There were 27 respondents. (Not ‘responders’. For those, you have to go here: http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/490440 ) But I shall not bore you with numbers. Also, this cannot be said to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sign, Ah Yes, the Sign…(Dedicated to TAPS, who asked for this!)

In my previous post on this blog, I showed you among other things the sign that has recently been attached to the fence of the Pickering Nuclear Power Plant. Actually, there are many of those signs, all over. Fabulous! I approve of making this place secure. Which it hadn’t been for many years. But... Sign in to see full entry.

Come, ride with me…Part II (Final Part)

Having taken a little virtual rest, we’re in the saddle again, still heading West. At some point there is a pleasant view looking East, back to what we just passed. But looking ahead, we are faced with the massive Pickering Nuclear Power Plant, which, especially when seen from the water, shows... Sign in to see full entry.

Come, ride with me…Part I

The other day TAPS posted a beautiful picture and a charming little poem to go with it, entitled ‘Come, walk with me...’ and if you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely check it out. Now, I don’t walk much, nor do I write much poetry, but TAPS’ piece inspired me to take you along on one of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Today, on 9/11/ 2007, just a simple message...

To all those, Americans and those from other countries, who died in the terror attacks on this day six years ago; to their families and loved ones; and to the brave American soldiers and those of other nations, including my own, who are fighting Islamist terror in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts...

A Non-Blogger in the Water…

Why is he smiling? After having worked hard all morning, fate has dealt him a heavy blow - he just fell off the boat! But bravely he tries to convince us and possibly himself that this was, in fact, a planned event – a demonstration to once and for all put to rest the myth that sailors can’t swim....

The Inaugural Access Class World Championship

I haven’t been visiting many of you, haven’t read much, and written less! I've had a very busy few days, and I will continue to be busy until Wednesday. For me, this Labour Day weekend means Labour. I’ve been involved in the event named in the heading. What is an ‘Access Class’, you ask? In sailing,... Sign in to see full entry.
