Hi Pete (and all),

Ah yes, Hoosier Land, dead birds, the 500, but no Ian. <oops> (;->)

Hmmm, funny thing, I haven't seen TV ads for the usual October stuff but with 
cable and targeted advertizing plus not watching any OTA stations (even 
though "must carry" puts them on cable) I don't know if my old friend and his 
Abracadabra Magic Shop are still around. He started in a strip mall in 
Colonia, NJ around the corner from me and later moved to Manhattan, I haven't 
seen him since. (:-<) He at least used to run an ad on NY TV but like I said 
I don't watch it anymore. Ah the memories of theatrical costumes, movie 
themed Halloween parties and a basement full of Planet Apes. That's when I 
was introduced to two classic Vincent Price films, The Abominable Doctor 
Phibes and Phibes Rises Again. Since then I aquired them in digital format 
and since day one have been fascinated by the Abominable theme, Mendolsohn's 
War March of the Priests arranged for organ by Virgil Fox. I found the 
original recording of the full length version recorded at a cathedral in 
London, downloaded it to the archives too.

Oh, the generic Merry Christmas has nothing to do with that politically 
correct nonsense, it came about a couple of decades earlier. "They" got lazy 
and shortened it to Xmas, then lazier still they combined the holidays to 
"happy holidays" and "seasons greetings". They would be happy if they had 
names and frankly I never greeted seasonings I put on the Christmas meal. Eh, 
I don't consider it a religious holiday since I'm not a Pagan celebrating a 
birthday at the wrong time of year so I'm Alfred E. Neumann on that one.

Oh those classic leather bomber jackets, they HAD to be warm at Arctic 
temperatures encountered at cruising altitude with no pressure or heat in the 
aircraft. That real wool was fleece, sheep know how to keep warm. I don't 
know about the US gubmint but it's a fair guess Canada had quite a surpulus 
after the war and issued them to employees. Therein lies the difference, 
instead of giving them they were issued so they remained GI and they can do 
with their property as they please even if it means distroying it. Lately the 
US military has been destroying obsolete radios and electronics rather than 
auctioning it off as in times past. At least the UK still declassifies and 
demilitarizes it allowing hams to utilize the old Clansman radios. Hey, not 
the KKK since it's UK, they have the Scottish Highland Clans. (;->)

"Have no clue as to the Honey Bee situation..."
That's why I stress PLEASE don't connect it with Monsanto as nobody else has. 
The European ban on GMO foods has NOTHING to do with bees and neither does 
other countries allowing them and none of it has anything to do with money 
when the reason is public health. It's like the German beer purity law, 
Europeans simply don't like messing with their food. I see where you're 
coming from as I agree that just because something is legal doesn't make it 
right, that makes it easy to go off on a tangent in the wrong direction. Just 
be careful what you believe so you don't get caught in the conspiracy 
theorists' net and become one of them.

Sure, I know figure skating doesn't make wimps or homosexuals but father had 
some screwy ideas and that was just one of them. You mentioned power skating, 
I was at my best in figure skates because they fit properly, the hocky skates 
didn't and I fell on my butt if I was lucky, my face when I wasn't. Can't 
argue with him, especially when he bought them, you may as well talk to a 
stone. The Parks Department operated an indoor refrigerated rink in a park 
the next town over but too far to walk and bikes can be stolen so I stuck 
with the lake nearby until those ill fitting hockey skates came along. I 
mentioned the skate house, a windowless hut with a wood stove going bye bye, 
the rink soon followed for the same reason, Italian Disease. What, you never 
heard of lacafunza? <groan>

Double smoked ham, eh? Here's one for YOU!
