I know and love Vancouver/Granville Island.  Picked up some great inuit
soapstone (greenstone) carvings a decade ago at a tourist shop on Granville
IS that have probably doubled in value. The whale, walrus and bear carvings
are my favorites.  Since then have acquired shark and otter carvings on
ebay and some ptarmigan and assorted older art from shops in Winnipeg.
Very hard habit to break...

The pumpkin starts, watermelon starts and broccoli and greens all got

The O'Henry Peach tree was starting to have some leaf curl troubles, and
as luck would have it, I still have a whole bottle of the now banned Sulfur

that section of the garden while I had them out on the lawn this

I departed Orlando on a Saturday afternoon, spent a goodly portion of the next 
day in Ashville, NC, then headed west on long day drives.  I was held up in SLC 
for most of a day, but still made it home in time for lunch Thursday.  

The drive east on I-90 took six days because I had to stop at a place of 
interest at least once each day for the navigator (10yr old #1 boy) to get 
some learning.  Mt. Rushmore, Petrified forest, Custer battle field, corn 
palace and Wall Drug, St. Louis Arch, Devils Mount, Picketts fort, Gettysburg.

Well if Andrew wants to 'nap a kid, he can take two weeks of his 
gen'rus gummit vacation to do the trip in 6 days out and 6 days back, 
and a couple days there to sightsee.  Boeing plants are cool, as are 
the related musei.  Then there is the Granville Island market in 
vancouver.  Better than that piddly thing in seattle that's overrun 
by kollyfornyuns.


Still would be good exercise for a TD.

of the next day in Ashville, NC, then headed west on long day 
drives.  I was held up in SLC for most of a day, but still made it

2 days of 1000 miles per day and one day of only 700.  Maybe a squash 
player isn't in great shape after all?  A Handball player could do
