It does not take an degree in Brain Surgery to determine, that we have been deserted by our own Government, that obviously couldn't care less what happens to Amateur Radio. Can Lawlessness be far away…? It's with us already, we have been cast adrift by the Beerocrats, that's obvious. I recall last years visit by an Govt. Official to the North Shore Club, who spoke for close to an hour and said nothing substantial. And what he did say, in regards to a "New Look" for Canadian Amateur Radio, turned out to be just absolute unadulterated rubbish, that died as soon as he left the room. Now, do we deserve this our Government? You decide…
Anyway, the Burnaby Swap Meet was an outstanding success, again…
Congratulations RUBBIES, well done…!
But the real Story fellow VAPOites played at the Annual Meeting of our beloved VAPO.The atmosphere of the Digital congregation was charged with billions of electrons, as the Elections of Officers approached. To the keen observer, one could tell there was suspense in the Surrey Air. The usual seating of the masses had taken on an entire different look from previous gatherings. One could detect possible trouble, when a former VPD. Officer remained in the background while the mystery man he was to guard, rose to move into the "front row". Experienced observers began to take notice of the well planned moves.
The War in the Falklands had not effected the man from the other side of the Strait of
Magellan. Yes trusted members, the Man from Tierra del Fuego had returned to his
roots…Yes, the legendary Agent Orange had made his move, returned to the Paquette battlefield of long ago…
Will he run for high office and dispose the Surreyites or just slip back into VAPOland …one could here the whispers of speculations as to what was to soon happen to the flock.
The tension reached fever pitch, when the ASman, in good APRS form, spoke to the
crowd and announced his intentions not to run for GAZETTE Editor.
You could have heard a pinhead drop…!
And before you could say "Argentinia", the Orange, accompanied by the cheers of his former East Vancouver Republican Guards, was unanimously acclaimed Gazette Editor.
Long live the Orange…!
And that folks is the end of the news… And to lighten up a bit, here's a quiz:
"If you go to bed nine hours before you have to wake up, and your wife wants to have
two hours of sex, how much sleep will you get?
Answer: 8 hours, 59 minutes to be exact.- who cares what she wants?"
And while we are having such a splendid time:
"What's the difference between dark and hard…?
Answer: "You can go to bed with the light on…"
Have you Paquetteers been to the Movies lately? Well, the Second World War is being fought on the Projectionist's strike bound screens again.
Yes it's Oscar Time. There's isn't enough violence on our streets anyway, so let's light up the Movie Screens.
Reminds me of several hundred years ago, when breaking into the Movie Biz, got a job going through millions of feet of war-time combat footage, looking for stock shots of the Allied Landings in France.
Boy, were the bosses surprised when we only found 36 secs. of actual 35mm film
