Clearly there is; two educated and articulate people such as ourselves wouldn't engage in pointless jibery would we?

I recently called a retired engineer friend of mine and asked him what he was working on in his free time.

He replied that he was starting a new project "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminium, and steel under a constrained environment".

I was quite impressed until further questioning revealed that he was washing dishes in hot water under his wife's supervision. Sometimes its how you tell the story thats more important then the story!

I'm the "pressure differential particle separation engineer" at our house. Which means I run the vacuum cleaner.

Hey, has FujiDave been on lately? What made him come to mind was a Hitchcock episode filmed in Gr. Britain at Brighton and I think he lives more or less in that area.

He's still posting to his Flickr account but he has been scarce here.

You tricky bear!

There's hockey on!!! Replay of the game I came into in the middle this afternoon, World Junior Summer Showcase hosted by Team USA at their training facility/arena in Michigan. And there are - scouts!!! Nobody else much there watching, when a puck rang off the post did it echo! Brings back memories...

Nothing like some nice icy hockey on a hot summer's day.
