No, it's just crass and unsavory. Just because a politician shows
their family (which all do) doesn't provide license for it.

I guess we'll just have to disagree on that.

Seamonkey, a successor (along with FireFox) to the old Netscape
Navigator browser, has a WYSIWYG editor.

Yeah we had some fun. Just got home. A few thousand kilometers, shared
with good friends and for the time of year the weather was ok. Cool in
the mornings and until today, dry.

Here's a tip for you. If you are ever in Creston on a Friday, head for
the Kokanee Inn. They bring in fresh cod, Fridays only, and serve up
maybe the best fish and chips I have ever had. I am ready to go back
just for the food.

That sounds like a good deal for this time of the year.

Thanks for the tip on that place.

I've found the seafood good there too. We went to some kind of Irish
or Newfie bar on the edge of town there last summer because they had
all-you-can-eat shrimp meal for a pretty good price. Oh yeah, I
definitely ate all I could eat!
