While waiting for the Ferry to Victoria, BC


What an amazing amount of cargo goes out of the port in Vancouver, BC. You could stay and watch them all day and not be bored. The Ferry we took was enormous. We had to have detailed instructions just to be able to find the bus on the boat!

Grampa's off checking on the El Camino and I'm a bit nervous because I'm soon to be off for a haircut. "Nervous about a haircut?" you say. Yes, most certainly. In June my lady hairdresser was using a new, longer pair of very sharp scissors and nipped my right ear! It bled so much is was awful. She even called me the next day to see if I was OK. Grampa wanted to answer the phone and tell her that I was at the hospital for a transfusion! It did take about 16 hours before we could take the band aid off. It didn't look bad after it stopped bleeding but a cut around the head even a little one really makes a mess! She's probably nervous too!

Have a new addition to the area around the JCSBank. As you drive in and to your left a brand, spanking new steel structure is going up. It'll be the Moosup Ambulance facility. Since it is more centrally located they'll be able to get places faster without screaming by our house to miss all of the lights when getting out of Moosup. Of course they'll probably have to come in to Moosup by our street! The town will be buying the JCSBank when the grant money comes through and turning it into a Central Library. Doesn't seem like a bad idea since only Moosup has a decent library and it's getting crowded in there. The bank will build a new home on the land to the right of its present location. Big goings on about town!
