    It's always great to put faces on monikers. Love that Scottish attire. A handsome bunch indeed, though I didn't know it was a requirement to wear a beard in BC. Also, it appears that the deck on which you are standing is listing to starboard. Thanks for posting the pic.

    An excellent group photo Rex.
    I have been fortunate to meet with RB51 and BruceBC and of course your good self during the course of my visits to Canada and it is good to be able to match the other usernames with faces via photos.

    Yes, indeed. It keeps the rain off your face.

    Now that you mention it, that makes a lot of sense. I lived in Seattle (Edmunds, actually) years ago, and it rained almost every day, and was cloudy pretty much every day. But, at that time I was too young to grow a beard.

    Never would have thought about Sasquatch. Glad I was but a wee prat.

    Sometimes, danger is what we crave.
