The day, water, sun, moon, night…
I do not have to purchase
these things with money.

Ease
The really efficient labourer
will be found not to crowd his day with work,
but will saunter to his task
surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure.

The shortest way to do many things
is to do only one thing at once.

Living
Don’t go around saying
the world owes you a living.
The world owes you nothing;
it was here first.

Congratulations to Reg Johnstone, the Bashaw Flash, and his outriders Butch Stewart and Wayne Wright, for winning the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede, driving the Blue Wave Energy outfit.

The obscure we see eventually.
The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

June 5, 2009 Chautauqua
From the Editor's Computer
In 1958 the Avro Arrow burst onto the aviation scene, and Canadians were hailed as taking the aerospace industry to unprecedented levels. The Avro Arrow, with a top speed of 1,650 mph, was the most sophisticated and fastest fighter plane the world had ever seen.
Then, just when Canada was poised to step into her own, the whole project was cancelled in 1959 by Prime Minister Diefenbaker and the 6 planes and all blue prints were destroyed. Note, they were not shelved or reworked, but totally destroyed.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of powered flight in Canada, and the 50th anniversary of the end of the Avro Arrow project, instructors and students from the Aircraft Structures program at NAIT are at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin to help to refurbish a full-scale model of the legendary Avro Arrow. The model should be ready for display in July.
How many of us, just as we are on the brink of completing a successful project in our own lives, allow fear to cancel our good effects as the government allowed fear to shut down the Arrow Project? How would our lives be different if we revived some of our past “almost” successes and showed them to the world?

Regrets
I have no regrets.
I wouldn’t have lived my life
the way I did
if I was going to worry about
what other people were going to say.

Momentum
The world is wide,
and I will not waste my life
in friction when it
could be turned into momentum.
