bingo bingo bingo....you found me, Tul. Hey, did you see Grace (ring) anywhere down there in Mexico lately?

Sandia Peak Tramway - from that wacky wiki place again



The Sandia Peak Tramway, located adjacent to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, is the world's longest passenger aerial tramway. It also has the world's third longest single span. It stretches from the Northeast edge of the city to the crestline of the Sandia Mountains.





You're up, Tul. Go hide.

No, sorry have not seen Grace. Of course I'm not sure I'd know her if I did see her. Remember seeing photos she's taken but none of herself. Sorry, wonder where she went?

Ok, where be I?

Frankord, Ont?

I spent many a summer there as a kid and had a fantastic time, fishing and swimming in the Trent River and local creeks and ponds, running around all the farms, chasing the pigs out of their pen so we could use it as our fort...I wonder if Betty still lives there? < I don't mean in the pig pen, her dad was the town doctor so she was comfortable playing doctor...and her mom always gave us rhubarb dipped in sugar.

Nick, no.

Phil, it's listed as "part of a municipality." It has it's own library, airport, community center etc... I can not find a pop listing, if I had to guess I'd say less then 5K.

Are you at the Sarnia Golf and Curling Club?



That was the first live, in-person curling I ever saw. Perfect place, unc can golf while Tul and I throw stones, unless you'd rather sweep, Tul; afterwards we sit in the club and enjoy some brewskis.

Is there a reason this place you are might recently have been in the news?

Phil, not sure what you define as "near." I'd say I'm within a 250 mile radius.
