 Breaking horses
to harness- Tuesday
March 16, 2004
Mistatim : It is so fitting to have a short story from
Mistatim about horsemanship. The town's name is the Cree word for "big dog"
the name the Cree gave horses.

March 17, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since automobile manufacturers have devoted
so much of the control of modern vehicles to computer controlled curcuits making
a minor accessory addition is sometimes a rather complex process. This story includes
a 580K QuickTime VR.

 The Queen's Right
to Rule- Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Philip Benwell
Sydney, NSW, Australia : Though we have had a little flap over the Governor Generals
expenses Canadians in general accept the idea of a monarchy. This is not a settled
matter in Australia as a British historian's book has called to question the rightful
heirs to the throne since 1485. Of course the book in typical English nit picking
tradition is baloney since Richard III had gained the throne for his four years of
kingship by murder in the midst of a civil war that he lost wishing he had a horse
(Shakespeare had him saying: "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.")
The history is interesting but not significant. However, in Australia this is a matter
of serious discussion. Be sure to look over the references because the who's who
of it all is a bit complex.

 Sneak Attack :
Heavy snow warning turns into late winter blizzard- Friday
March 19, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Environment Canada spotted the weather disturbance
making its way across the prairies and warned of heavy snow in the North and the
northern grain belt with storm warnings for the southern grain belt but as these
things sometimes develop they take on a life of their own and this one became a full
blown blizzard with ice, snow and blowing snow. Time to park.
