Terremoto (circa 1993)

In order to aggregate some of the stories out there I've put together a few links on the Manitoba Sasquatch sighting that you my find interesting.

Check back regularly, no telling what little nugget of gnarled knowledge or whimsical wisdom you're going to unearth here but it could be an 'Sasquatch nugget' - I hear they're big and stink real bad.

One of the locals, Joey Robertson said, "Couple of my friends and cousins have seen it, and some of them, first didn't believe in anything like that. When they seen the video, it convinced them."

Anyhow..., there shouldn't be any question from this point forward as to where Norway House, Manitoba can be found on the map or who local ferry operator, Bobby Clarke is.

Anyhow..., please check back. I'm in the middle of switching this site over to a 'database driven dynamic' sort of thing and there could be a couple of speed bumps I've overlooked. In all likelihood there's going to be some potholes to go with the speed bumps.

As PCMag so nochalantly puts it, "One of the complaints we've heard from readers is that "protection" programs, like Norton Internet Security, are useful for safeguarding their systems. but slow their computers to a crawl. Dual-core Hyper-Threaded processors, such as the Pentium EE 840, can help, improving your computing experience because the processor's dual cores can process tasks simultaneously. While most of the system is "concentrating" on making sure your Internet or gaming experience is fulfilled in the foreground, the reserve power that the dual cores provide protects you in the background, running Norton or other antivirus or firewall programs."

Anyhow..., until I make a whole lot more money than I'm making off of this site the best I'm ever going to be able to hope for is an aging dual Alpha EV68/1.0 Ghz number cruncher. That would still be way more than what I would require to do what it is I do. Curiously enough, when Windows NT ran on dual processor Alphas one processor handled nothing but the GUI.

Curiously enough Alderman Craig Burrows has no problem with this extreme form of censorship. Burrows tells CBC News, "I think any time you go after the morale of a service or the morale of a city that takes pride in its service, the chief has a right to act." Fair enough, but that doesn't give Beaton the right to act like a bully.

Anyhow..., I guess I'm a bit of an Anarchist so that's why power, and especially it's abuse, irks me to no end. I'm pretty sure this isn't the last we'll hear of Police Chief Jack Beaton and his detractors.

Anyhow..., light has allowed me to read well past my bed time for nearly half a century. I already have a decent selection of LED flashlights so I'm interested to see what household lighting will look like when it's provided by the wonders of Light Emitting Diodes.

†"Death by misadventure" is the verdict delivered at a hearing into the death of Gareth Mason of England. While attempting to moon some imaginary passers-by he ended up doing the "drunk d00d wobble dance" through a plate glass window, skewering himself on a spiked fence. The coroner's report indicates that he was fairly well marinated at 292 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood - quadruple the limit for passable steering privileges. Strangely enough, he was eating kebab at the time. It's bad enough getting liquored-up and killing yourself but it's got to be hugely embarrassing finding yourself pinned to a spiked, wrought iron fence with your pants around your ankles.

I'm sure he'll be nominated for a Darwin Award by graciously removing himself from the gene pool in such spectacular fashion. There's a lesson here boys and girls and I don't think it requires much in the way of explanation. Remember - common sense will likely get you further down the twisty, rutted road of life than dollars and cents ever will.

Anyhow..., "Death by Misadventure" - I've dodged that puppy on more than a few occasions.
