Here's what Gerry is building in England for New Zealanders:

A Pinzgauer parting the sea.

 

 

And speaking of England, here is a favorite framed picture I took of Mom Flo and Mary in London

at Christmas, 1984.

 

 

Her great granddaughters at 9 months, Emma on the left and Morgan.

Their three quarters birthday!

 

 

And from their Uncle Brian in Kentucky,

Woke up this morning and saw this.

 Only predicted light flurries but got close to 5 inches overnight.

German Coast Guard:

2.5 meg video

 

 

 

I had an interesting week with a major news organization asking me how I felt about the Cheney shooting.

The previous V.P. to shoot someone was of course Aaron Burr.

I enjoyed going to a local cocktail party and having friends come up and say to me:

We read about you and Aaron Burr in the local paper.

We asked "Is that our Peter they are quoting?"

Yes I said, part of my 15 minutes of shame - I mean fame.
