    1. The last Shuttle launch today...

    2. It looks like it the end of the "wet season", no Spring, straight into Summer.

    3. Happy Victoria Day Canada!

    4. Happy Anniversary to my wife. And although she will never visit this site and read this I do love her and I promise not to spend our retirement money on medals.

        In the long run, retirement money on medals will probably prove to be a better investment than a pension fund!!! You mark my words!! However its parting with them that will be the problem!!! Happy anniversary!

        Oh, I think you are right JimZ, but convincing the wife is the hard part. Besides, it's not a lot of money in the retirement account.

    5. Congratulations Prince William and Kate on your nuptials.

    6. Happy Easter!

        And to you and your Family Claudius. For most people Easter has lost it's original meaning - however, I still think it is a time for reflection.
        Best wishes Mervyn

        Thank you Mervyn. I hope you and yours had a great Easter as well. For me, Easter and the Christmas have become a time for renewal as my children begin to comprehend the meaning behind the candy, presents and celebrations.

    8. This AM: Because of all this heavy, hard snow I literally broke the handle on my new shovel. I don’t know if I should be unhappy that I have to buy another one or boast.

        hahaha...I think what happened is that Chris had to post a value, but actually wanted to list them on a per mag rate. Nevertheless, he got me with good "zinger" for my quip.

    12. snow...it can affect your life.

    13. Enough said. The Chairman's assertation is quite correct.

    14. I don't know for sure what Heaven or Hell is like, but I know GMIC rule 6.2 is alive and strongly enforced.

    15. Snowing again...it will be a white Christmas after all. :)

        I'd smile about a white Christmas too if I weren't still fighting my way across the European continent.

        no display of inconsideration was intended. I hope you make it home soon.

        Hey, Claudius - no offense taken! Enjoy the snow! Actually, my tribulations have been mild compared to many. Looks like I'll make it home today.

    16. Rock salt or sodium chloride used for deicing will not work in temperatures below 16 degrees F. Currently, the rock salt is not working. At certain intersections, my auto has become a toboggan.

        perhaps it's time to get some reindeer and hook 'em up to your auto :)

    17. Whoa -been watching events on Yeonpyeong Island. Should have bought N. Korean militaria before the prices go up. ;)

        It has been getting crazy over there. I hope that the North stops while they are ahead.

    18. Yesterday bought a PKO3...no I didn't, but I spent that much on a new dishwasher. -ugh

        What do you think how well a PKO3 wash dishes?

    19. Back from San Diego...saw sand, surf, scenery, SeaWorld, seals and USS Midway Museum.

        I think it is my favourite US City. The gaslight district is very special - and the World famous Zoo. Don't remember the Midway - is that new ? Mervyn

        It is outstanding. Check this out: http://www.midway.org/
        Funny story; I was heading for the "aircraft carrier" in S.D. bay when I discovered I had to choose from three! Both the Nimitz and Carl Vinson were also at dock. Both visible from the USS Midway.

    20. Casino 100 out of bankruptcy. In City Council offers to re-locate to their former site. The petitioners are defenestrated. ~finis~ Godspeed Lorenzo

    21. Hello Saumua;
      I see you recently joined GMiC. Welcome. That is a great piece you have. Do you collect Imperial German Colonial? If you do, I would love to see your other items.
      Regards,
      Brian (aka Claudius)
