Re: OT Canadian incident

Apparently the pair are still on the loose in my home town of Regina. The wife and I have taken the rolling Casa and are a couple of provinces away at the moment. Hopefully they are caught before we get home. Thanks for your concern. bill On Sun., Sep. 4, 2022, 11:17 p.m. mike wilson, wrote:

True. This was a new article I thought might be of interest. Also, I love the NPs so much, I always like to hear other's views. I will spare you the boredom of hearing my opinions yet again. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On

Probably not a good thing. I do think we should be making a clear effort not to exterminate ourselves. On 8/16/2022 2:49 PM, Underpaid N. Overpentaxed wrote: Some scientists contend we may have altered and polluted her enough to prevent the evolution of another lifeform similarly „intelligent“

Well, yes, but some of the tributaries dried up too so they’ll contribute their dry bits. > On 17 Aug 2022, at 07:05, mike wilson wrote: > > The river gets so much wider, it will only be a few millimetres long. >> On 16/08/2022 15:24 Bob Pdml wrote: >> >> >> It would be interesting to be

Some scientists contend we may have altered and polluted her enough to prevent the evolution of another lifeform similarly „intelligent“ as us in the time remaining until the expansion of the Sun puts and end to her habitability. Perhaps that’s a good thing. > On 11 Aug 2022, at 21:08, Ralf R

Talk about coincidence - a friend of mine who is a journalist at ITV Westcountry sent me this link - he did a piece on the river near the source of the Thames. He just got a new toy, an Insta360 so he was showing me its uses. Some here might find the video interesting, and again shows the

Re: OT: UK OK?
