Tim's Tip of the Day

Kevin's find of the day

Angry motorist saws clamped car in half
A British car owner left his Ford Fiesta two inches on a walk way and a clamp was put on it and he was issued a charge of about $400 to have the clamp removed. He was unhappy with the trreatment and took a metal saw and severed the vehicle into two parts inviting them to take away the offending piece.

May 6, 2008

April 30, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire, Images by Darlene Shire
Archerwill: Only slightly smaller than a bald eagle this carrion feeding aviator is most often sighted in flight where it glides in circles with the tips of its wings raised in a dihedral. Most of us have seen one thinking it was some kind of hawk but Darlene Shire photographed this one Saturday morning north of Archerwill.

Sandhill Cranes, Grus canadensis: Tuesday
April 29, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire, Images by Darlene Shire

Cover up is what brings down politicians: Monday
April 28, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria B.C.:The money laundering scam of the Conservative Party in the last election is truly a serious matter.

Interesting to note that the Esquimalt - Juan de fuca candidate is one of British Columbia's most prominent lawyers.
