We spent the day over at Marble Lake, trying to keep cool. I was reminded of another, very hot day in Victoria, in the early 1970's. A group of us were making our way, on foot, to the local Dairy Queen - for an ice cream fix. Along the way, we passed the "Princess Machine Shop", an old building, with grimy windows that would look perfect in a classic movie. If you scraped the muck of the glass, you could see an old, roll top desk inside, covered with papers in piles so high they'd topple over at the merest hint of a breeze. It could have been right out of a cartoon! On the door was a sign which read: ON STRIKE! Demanding: - shorter hours - easier work - more (xxxx-d out and replaced with "some") profits. NEGOTIATING AT THE LAKE! Cheers! --- David Young, Logan Lake, CANADA Limited Edition Prints at: http://www.telyt.com/ Personal Web-site at: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt
