The Falcon has flown for a whole year without any lubricating updates on the blog. Part of this was disappointment that photos kept disappearing en route, a phenomenon that is, hopefully, a thing of the past. In summer months, the Falcon stays parked most of the time, other than a trip to Ponoka AB that is coming up at the end of June. This is a combined golf/rodeo/social event and has taken place annually, other than last year (the year of the new hip) for almost a decade. This year's journey to Arizona was pretty much a carbon copy of the preceding year, so regular blog viewers (would that there were such an animal) will have missed nothing, or, if they were on the "list" they would have received regular group e-mails. Anyway, as the purpose of this exercise is to massage the blog and get my blogger status reinstated, plus fill in the form for a Google account, I shall now attempt to post a pic and abandon it until inspiration strikes again. The picture shows some recent visitors to my Shuswap cabin, including, but not limited to, some highland cattle accompanied by the Mountain sheep ram who believes himself to be a cow.
