Present! 1. Step back about six Inches to the Rear with the Right Foot, bring the left Toe to the Front; at the same time the Butt End of the Firelock must be brought to an equal Height with your Shoulder, placing the left Hand upon the Swell, and the Fore-Finger of the right Hand before the Tricker, sinking the Muzzle a little.

Incident at Dover Castle

Part way through the bayonet charge, I noticed that I had a French grenadier's bearskin stuck on my foot and I was kicking it across the parade square.

Modern Digital TV

With Digital TV there's no more snow!

No.. nowadays radio interference makes the picture break up into little squares, the screen stops on a single frame and/or the audio stutters or drops out entirely.

Old Fashioned Analog TV

In old fashioned analog tv, radio interference resulted in lines, "snow" and picture distortion. It also caused an annoying hiss on the audio track.

Little Dog Sign

This is my favourite highway sign. It's on Highway 10 between Franktown and Richmond Ontario at Ashton Station Road. I like it because it looks like a little dog standing on its hind legs. There are actually two little dog signs because the roads have just the right arrangement to make the same shape whether you are travelling east or west. It also reminds me of Oblio's dog Arrow in "The Point", even though Arrow is Blue and this sign dog is black and Arrow is much less arrow like than I remember. This dog is quite pointy though.
