Come on Clive, don't be so cynical. The reason we now have penguins in the Arctic, is quite simple -- penguins are migratory birds. It has to be true since I saw it on TV (migrating penguins). Terry

I've wondered the same thing, but haven't any experience that would indicate one way or the other. However, I've sure seen the fishing go south on a lake when loons start hanging around. Terry

I'm odd -- 3wt, 5wt, and 7wt. Terry

Harps, he must have been thinking about the marshy area between Blairmore and Coleman. You're right, there is no marsh area within Blairmore. Terry

Come on Chris -- you know the problem is that most Flames fans (you not included ) have broken legs and are having trouble trying to crawl back on the wagon. Terry

I can bring my saxophone -- well, maybe not. Terry

DBT -- I vote to give BBB a break, and stretch the deadline. It's a long time since I've written exams (maybe a couple of centuries), but I'd have hated to have something as important as a KOTV round happen concurrently. And it's been such a great contest so far, no sense giving anyone, especially me, a free pass to the next round. Terry

Better hurry -- with this weather, it's going to muddy up pretty soon. Terry

Great pictures Jeff, thanks for posting. Here's a few from yesterday -- it was one gorgeous day. The snow and ice won't be there for much longer. Terry

DrBT -- you didn't answer BBB's question. Can participants vote outside their brackets? Terry

I usually get polarized prescription glasses (plastic lenses) every time I have my regular prescription renewed. If you recylce your frames, it's not that expensive in the longrun. And yes, you can get prescription polaroids. Terry

Happy Birthday Clive!!!! Only 61, I thought you were an old fart . Have a great day. Terry.

Forget the vice time and focus on the vise time -- we're all chompin at the bit and ready to go. Terry

Saw an otter on the Crow last summer, so they're around. Couldn't believe my eyes, but there was no mistaking it. Terry

Happy Birthday Brian -- I hope you get to hit the water today. Terry

Dare I send this to my brother-in-law who is Irish and was a bricklayer? Tempting, but probably not. Terry

So, the geezers won't be going to head to head after all -- just as well, now that I've seen your entry Clive. Terry

Dryfly against TerryH!!!!!!!!!! Is that the Old Farts Round or what? Just kidding -- may the best old fart win. Hey Clive, what's a stonefly? Terry

I feel so much better today . The Oilers went out with class -- play to win at all costs, even if it helps the Flames. Better still, is the fact that with Nashville winning, the Oilers are out of the playoffs regardless of whether or not they had won against the Flames on Tuesday -- i.e. Calgary can't claim to have knocked the Oilers out. Let the playoffs begin -- can't wait. BBT, would you like me to send you an Oilers jersey, now that you're on the Oilers wagon? Terry

Brian, if you read back in the thread, you'll see it was deathly quiet after the Oilers beat the Flames on Saturday, and then again after the Flames lost to the Nucks on Sunday. Most of the Flamer fans didn't emerge until the Flames eeked out a victory on Tuesday . Terry

I now have a full bore case of fly box envy. I feel even more guilty for not doing all the tying I had planned for this winter. Nicely done BBB. Terry

This has to be an April fools gag. One Oilers fan can easily handle four Flames fans, so the story has no credibility. Ain't that right BBT? Did you hear CBC radio's story this morning on how Canada's metric commissioner is going to force the CFL to switch from yards to meters. The commissioner, Charles Foot (why didn't he change his name to Charles Meter?) wasn't available for comment. Terry

I guess now we've got the answer. Terry

Tako, your prize is a complete playoff ticket package for the Leaf's 2008 playoff season. Congratulations. Clive -- those goose take off shots are too neat. They seem to confirm the theory re mystery picture #1. Terry
