“That’s how it works in this era of Internet preening, out-of-control partisanship and press-a-button punditry, when anything and everything becomes prompt for a plaint, a rant, a riff.” Frank Bruni; The Exploitation of Paris; The New York Times; Nov 14, 2015.

How do Molly Mop and Jakester feel about this? Their Indian cousins in Jaisalmer!
Tony Cottrell has stepped up to lead next Monday's hike to Roddy Meadows, near Summerland. So leave the IGA parking lot in Summerland at 9am and Pentictonites can carpool at Home Hardware at 8:40. After the hike we can converge on Good Omens for coffee or whatever. Pam Here's the revised list of attendees and their proposed contributions. Al sent me a note yesterday reminding me that the normal start time for this event is 1000h at the Summerland IGA, and therefore 0940 for Pentictonites wishing to car pool. I might not have given you the correct time in previous missives.

Al also indicated he has a previous family related engagement that morning and will be arriving later than the rest of us. This will necessitate, therefore, lighting the fire without Al's help. Do I have any volunteers for the role of OF Chief of Pyro?? Rick
Thanks for wonderful birthday card! Sorry I've not replied earlier. No excuses but plenty of reasons! Will be in touch shortly. We miss you two as well. Come on up and see the new Taj Mahal playing cards! Fondestos from Lady Darjeeling. Thanks again. Cheers, Patrizzio!
