Funny, my first job out of school was in New Glasgow, right across the bay. Very odd that I never saw that, it looks like it’s hard to miss, although that may not have been the case in 1985!

That is truly terrible news, although it is not a total shock given the health issues he has been battling.

You’re right, I had it wrong. Funny, I’ve been in Pictou many times and don’t recall seeing their shop/factory. I’ve had their knives for 50+ years.

That’s the Russell Belt knife and I believe the other is their bird and trout, one Of my favorite blades. I believe Grohman bought them out. Canadian eh?

I don’t disagree with you, I don’t see the conflict. If you believe in creation, you have to believe in creator who could be the architect of evolution. My career was built on applied thermodynamics, in fact, two of my profs were Nobel laureates. The argument on the restrictions to the...

We’ll have to agree to disagree. I absolutely believe the second law applies. If you take it back to the ridiculous assertion that life Evolved from primordial ooze, there is no way that you can claim independence from the second law of thermodynamics in that system. The laws are Much broader...

I will fall back on science and leave it there, honestly test the THEORY of evolution with the three laws of thermodynamics and the zeroth law. Scientifically, evolution cannot happen. An external influence is required. To be clear, these laws are the foundation of all known science. They...

That’s a far cry from the evolution of sentient beings from primordial mud and would certainly not violate the laws of science. Leaving entropy out of it, in recorded history how many species have gone extinct and how many distinct species have come Into being? Evolution is not happening...

I like both but I’d definitely keep the freezout. Drop point blades are exceptionally versatile.

The kudu stand is a hunk of teak, the bookcase is a colonial piece from India.

Evolution is incompatible with science, among other things, entropy.

I think I’m going to start stocking up on tinfoil hats. It seems there may be quite a marketing opportunity in the near future.

Back to the war, China has issued an order to their energy sector to ignore US sanctions on Iranian crude. While an escalation in diplomatic terms, it has little to no practical effect. The only way Iran can bypass Hormuz is through Jask. It is only operating at 300,000 bpd and is likely...

Scotland, driven grouse on the glorious 12th Botswana, tracking hunt for wild lion Cameroon, tracking hunt for LDE

I have developed a lot of respect for him. He stands by what he believes to be right regardless of what the party line is. I wish we had more who would do the same.
