Hi Ted!

Thinking?  If I'd been thinking, I'd never have done it!  ;-)

Yeah, Ted... but (parachute jumping aside) you generally restrict 
yourself to traveling in vehicles with doors !

My biggest 'peeve' out of all of this is the lost shots... 

Sunday we drove up to Dominic Lake (population: 1) to visit a crusty old 
fellow to whom we owed a bottle of Yukon Hooch ( Rum)  for rescuing us 
after a huge windstorm.  Then it was off  (in a big GMC 4x4 ... with 
doors) to GreenStone Mountain - an old Forrest lookout, now used as a 
warm-up shack for snowmobiler's.  The views up there are spectacular!

Along the way we saw a Moose and his mate, Bald Eagles, Magpies, 
Pheasants and Squirrels, amongst others.  All leisurely sauntering 
around, standing in good light for minutes at a time, holding their feet 
or hooves to their faces and "thumbing their noses" at me, knowing full 
well I didn't have a camera!

Now, Ted... How many years have we known each other?  And you still 
believe that obviously erroneous assessment?  ;-)

Indeed, I am!

Rose has taken great care of me... but that's because "rich" isn't part 
of the equation if I make her a "rich widow"!  ;-)

Thanks... I'll try not to make a habit of this sort of thing.

The Sawbones says I'll be better in time for our planned, 3-week trip to 
Costa Rica at Christmas.

I'll try to bring back some decent shots with which to redeem myself. :-)

Thanks for your concern.
