We've just come down another notch as of yesterday so a lot more is opening up. We've had only one new infection detected nationwide over the past 4 or 5 days so hopefully we'll be back to normality soon. We can even get takeaways now :) If things go well then we'll be able to open our

I'm glad to see that Ricoh is continuing to release Pentax DSLRs but unfortunately the major competition for this camera will be the K-3 and K-3II, and even the K-5 series, and with some reservations the K-P.  I'd say that they are capable of 90% of anything anyone wants to do in general

The Canadian air force has an aerobatic team flying incredibly old jet trainers, Canadair CT-114 Tutors. These planes were put into service in the early 1960s, and while retired as training jets, are still being used by the Snowbirds. They are doing a cross country flyover, and today they flew
