1960 Impala sedan as seen on Thursday, November 18 at 4:39
1960 Chevrolet Impala
Friday
November 19, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Looking at this fifty year old car reminds us how conservative automotive design has become especially when you consider that the 1960 Chevrolet was considerably toned down from the over the top 1959 version. At the time the GM cars were all much less flamboyant than the Chrysler machines with their huge vertical fins, torsion bar suspension and push button transmissions..

Tim's Tip of the Day

If you don't have winter tires on your vehicle you should have. They increase your margin of safety considerably not just on snow and ice but temperatures below +5ºC the winter tires give you more control and better breaking. Fairburn Tire still has stock available and can get the size you might need. (Click thumbnail to see full size.)

Happenings In Tisdale:

Technological overload and the iPad
Thursday
November 18, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Regular readers of this web site will have noticed that in the last two month we have reduced the number of weekly posts to two or sometimes only one a week. Two factors have contributed to this situation. The first is the editor's insatiable appetite for world news and the second is the remarkable tool for exploration of the world's media, the Apple iPad. There just isn't enough time to read it all and still get an Ensign issue posted.
Winter has settled in

by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: it has been -7ºC for all of today and off and on there has been just a light dusting of snow. Interesting but the robot of Environment Canada's station in Nipawin did not notice the snow, but it was about an inch and a half during the day. This is winter, with snow and ice everywhere.

Tisdale: Each November we wear poppies on the left lapel of our jackets and the news media tells war stories and talks a lot about ultimate sacrifices. But Remembrance Day gets caught up in the attempt by everyone who thinks about it as we try to find a way to celebrate a part of life that really and truly is more about regret and incredible waste of lives. At the same time, we force ourselves to try to get a glimpse into the mindset of those who serve.
