I'm in Richmond(just south of Vancouver) at my parents farm right now. Dad and I were walking the fields after the game. The hwy at the back of the farm was a steady stream of RCMP from the valley comming in as renforcements.
Three things. 1 - Congradulations to Boston for winning the Cup. 2 - We (the majority of people in BC) are absolutly disapointed by what we are seeing in downtown right now. We had such a good immage from the Olympic experiance. The actions of a few hundred people and the herd mentality (I think sheep are smarter than some of the people we have seen on TV tonight) has created a huge black eye on the city and province. 3 - The police have showed a great deal of restraint thus far. I have been very impressed with the way it has been handled, in fact I'm amased there has not been more violent confrontations with the police. I can only immagine how difficult it would be in that position.
As I am typing the rioting and looting are ongoing. What a joke. I am truly disapointed in this segment of society today. I was also in Vancouver in 94 durring the riot after Vancouver lost to the Rangers. I was 23 then and was amased at the stupidity of people my age then. Now I'm 40, I thought we learned something from that era. I guess not.
Please don't judge us all based on this event. Vancouver and BC overall is a beautiful, safe place. Hopefully there won't be many more injuries or fatalities, but I have my doubts. I'm so dissapointed...Grant

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
