    Where the heck are you Marilyn. Somewhere on the Island.

    It does look a tad desolate all right.

    Anyway, sure hope you folks are all well and coping.

    Damn straight. Much like all of the USA

    MM that border bridge that hits US Customs is that NY state or are you further west?

    Looks like you're having a late spring there...Or is that normal?

    Thanks! I also love the water. I don't take it for granted. I realize I am very fortunate here compared to others. I appreciate a lot more now that I've travelled and lived in many places abroad. The clean air, the wide open spaces, and the safety net of the government.

    It is New York State, Skkin. This is pretty normal weather, maybe a tad cooler than normal. As we say, April showers bring May flowers.

    Hi Russ! Long time no see..where've you been? Last I saw you was on Ajarn. How's the west coast treating you? Hope all is well for you and your family.
    I explained on the other page about where I am.. biking on the TransCanada Trail (The Great Trail).

    Hi Marilyn. Im okay though I lost a log last summer. I do not see any familiar names around anymore on here. Happy biking. I am still in the Okanagan, these Canadian winters are too much for me now.

    I went to check out the old ajarn website today and note that it is now for sale...30,000 dollars.

    Nice Picks TB. Haven't seen deciduous trees for a long time, so it does make for a bit of a haunting landscape. The bridge reminds me of a scene in the handmaids tale. My Canadian mate sent me a picture of his town in Canada snowing last week in Spring,while the same day it was 30°C (86°F) in Autumn here in Queensland Oz. I haven't actually been in snow since I visited Mount Buller in Victoria mid Winter 30 years ago.

    Thanks, glad you enjoy. What town was your friend in? Somewhere out west, I'd imagine. I always missed snow when I lived in places that barely got any like Shanghai for example.

    Sunny day for a bike ride, but the wind was cool again.



    Buds are on the trees, hoping in a few weeks or so it will look more like Spring.





    The geese are practicing a bit of social distancing as well.

    A big fallen tree, reminded me of the song, "If a tree falls in the forest would anybody hear".

    This pillar was saved since the Seaway International Bridge was demolished just three years ago for a lower/smaller bridge to be built.



    RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force)




    An old plane, but not sure which kind or which year. Any TD'ers know?

    It's a Canadair CT-133 Silver Star III.

    They were first manufactured in 1952.

    ^Thank you so much! All these years going past and I always wondered. They have Christmas lights wrapped around it which you may not see in the picture.

    Do they flash on and off?

    How else to treat an air force jet, but put it up on a pedestal with flashing fairy lights wrapped around it.

    Perhaps they could still use the engines to inflate Minnie Mouse balloons.

    ^Yes, cheap ciggies that many people get. Unfortunately they don't always 100% know what's in them. Lots of smuggling over the years by car or boat.
