It was a 5.5 magnitude quake centered about 61 km north of Ottawa. We felt it here! My whole building was shaking for about 10 seconds, but no damage - really weird!

We had nothing in Whitby. The mounds of paper on my desk remained undisturbed.

Default Fish-Face aka Mussel-Man ..

Alex - yes, I will see you there on Saturday - last stop before the east coast and the annual mussels and Moosehead hunt.

Bob Carriere - would you please add one more to the attendance list for Saturday - Wilf Alexander, a CMP wannabe owner will be coming with us - on the same meal plan as Barry and I are down for.

Cheers,

Brian

Bob, Rob,
Do you have the technology to show a VHS tape at the BBBBBBBBBBQ? If so I will bring along a tape I found of the 12 Manitoba Dragoons during WWII. It starts with the 1935 Armoured Car and the firing of its Vickers. There are tons of video footage of Staghounds (including the rocket-loaded Stag) and CMPs.
