The following photo's were sent by my son Christopher who lives in Vancouver.
Here's his explanation.
I took this a few weeks ago. I have lost the original so I cant show you the difference. but here is one similar. I messed with the simple little editing functions in iPhoto and "bam" the mountain popped out like this.
It's Mount Baker, Washington, taken from West Vancouver. In the photo is the tallest building in Vancouver right in front of the mountain.
Over the years as I have learned more and more about how vital liberty is to a good, just human community, I have encountered sizable not just opposition and skepticism but out and out ridicule for holding this position. Of course, there are those, like Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, who are unabashed fascists and make no pretense of any devotion to human freedom. Those like Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and North Korea's Kim Jong-il make no bones about supporting anything but a regime of individual liberty for all its citizens. But within countries like the United States of America there are few political players who do not in some measure claim to be advocates of human freedom, including economic freedom.

I’ve lectured to my son since he was old enough to understand about the importance of family and the sacred trust of rearing children. However, when he was 17 he had a child out of wedlock.
We had a serious heart to heart and his mother and me (and I) agreed to take him and his child in but let him know that if it happened again they would no longer be welcome in our house.
When I was teaching at Auburn University some publishing firms decided to lobby the Alabama government--some division of it supposedly concerned about ethics. They were asking that a ban be imposed on professors selling books they receive from publishers as unsolicited examination copies. And the government was on the verge of complying!
I learned of this and immediately contacted this ethics commission in Montgomery and went to testify about how such a ban amounts to restraint of free trade, something no government ought to encourage, let alone perpetrate. Governments are supposed to protect our liberties and not to violate them, and such a ban would clearly be a violation. When you receive gifts from others at their initiative, there can be no legally enforceable strings attached. (I won’t even return something I am sent unsolicited when asked to do so! I don’t work for these people!)
Former PLP candidate Mr. Jackson Ritchie is allegedly blaming the FNM government for the failure of his business.
Well blow me down.
Somehow he allegedly got away with not paying millions of dollars in taxes to the public treasury, and now that the government want to collect it all, which will reportedly cause him to close his business, it's all their fault?
