The Photography Of Al Popil
Hi Don,
Some snaps from Jurassic Forest north of Gibbons today.
Seems dinosaurs are more plentiful around here than the grizzlies in Alaska where I was.

I was wondering what happened to you Al. Sorry to hear Alaska was a bummer, but the neighbourhood beckons indeed.
About That Webbits Story On Wednesday
Re: Webbits: Sun wins justice on Nazi fiend.
I like to believe that "Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."
May I point out that Klaas Faber (now 88) was seventeen at outbreak of war in 1939, and 23 years old in 1945.
Please correct me if I'm wrong (our concepts of justice *do* confuse me). I understand that revenge and punishment, and even "example-setting" have been rejected as objects of Canadian justice. And that our object of justice is *reform*.
So ... where (by Canadian standards) is the sense in "reforming" an 88-year-old man for a crime committed (and not committed since) at least 65 years ago?

An excellent point Deane. Why a British paper would take delight in this is a mystery. It does indeed feel more like revenge, but then again, give it a few more years and they will have no one left alive to further torment.
