- On Sunday afternoon, I drove Highway 97C from Merritt to Kelowna to see a dear old friend. It was a gorgeous day and the highway was empty. Having not been in the interior of the province for several years, I was stunned by its beauty.

No quibbles (Jun 24 2003 21:58 GMT) - I believe that, under normal circumstances, I am very patient.

- Poll: Majority Backs Use of Force in Iran (washingtonpost.com) I hope it never comes to war, but it's nice to know public support is there to be sure Iran never acquires nuclear weapons.

If it does come to war we're well positioned to attack from both Iraq and Afghanistan but, again, I would rather see the Iranians take care of it themselves. |
