    Bedbugs.

    My neighbour has a blue LED mozzie zapping lamp,all you can hear when your sitting out there is snap,crackle and pop.I stayed in a hotel once that supplied a tennis racket mozzie zapper in the room,better than watching TV chasing mozzies around the room.
  4. Quick and easy to make bay-area pacific shrimp noodles,learnt it from a mate in San Francisco but spiced it up with a touch of Chillie,having it now as a late lunch.
  5. BLM stand with Palestine,I sense a fundraising scam.

    I once got invited to a party in Pakistan,one of the guests was a customs officer who turned up with a few bottles of whiskey,met another guy brewing illegal booze called Hunza water,let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
  9. Thanks gaz,and happy thanksgiving.A 60 would be unreal,had a 30 and that was fantastic,but a 60 and a halibut in the same week would be next level.I will have a chat with my kids about it,time passes quick,got memories to make.
  10. The local store has them in,good reviews,the passed the store earlier but didn’t have time to pop in,I will visit later this week and have a looksee.

  12. I had some purple pudding,almost like a purple moon cake type desert,it was ok.
  13. Thanksgiving here today,went to welcome mountain (not as good as when I went to murder mountain) to pick apples,got 20 kilos of different varieties as ‘er indoors is a proper Canuck and wants to make jam and apple pies,enjoyable day despite the rain,the orchard worker said they sometimes get black bears on the fields,got some warm apple and cinnamon doughnuts and a nice coffee.

    Just watching the news,a copper in Alexandria has just shot at tourists,killed two and a tourist guide.
  16. The shop name is a bit of a misnomer considering the state of it,pakeeza means pure/clean.
  17. I know Alston well,I got a sparrow hawk chick from there as a kid. I was at a party last night and got an invite to fish for trout in a few weeks from a lady who is a really good fisherman.Here’s a clip from a few weeks ago at a fish-counter.
