Gus finally got some bird pictures past our self appointed censor- EmmyLou. Only about four or five of the 127 he posted survived the blood letting. When she goes to the mall shopping with her friends I will undelete them and hide them in a password protected hidden folder. I have a separate folder in my Documents labelled "Hidden files and naughty Pics" To ensure the privacy there is also a stern warning to stay out, no peeking allowed!

I also keep racy and riskay jokes there. The French always seem to be able to come up with a word that says bad things in a nice way. English does not have a equivalent to the French word "riskay". I love the way EmmyLou mispronounces "riskay". It comes out like ris ka' with the emphasis on the 'a'. The Canadians in the Gaspe region got it right. It is 'risk eh'! Eh?
It is almost lewd and sometimes gets me going through my naughty files checking on old Austin car starting procedures.

So far I only have one 'riskay' joke in my Naughty Pic Folder.

Paddy is stopped at a guard checkpoint, he is taken into the station on suspicion of drinking and driving. The copper produces a breathalyzer at which point Paddy slaps his laddie on the counter and says: "Try putting it on that as its the only thing I'll be driving home tonight!!!!"

Hehehehee. I will tell that one to Gus when he gets back.

Here are the Birds BTW. (Emmy's SO learns quickly).

I saw in the Newspaper where scientists from the University of Bath in England had discovered how insects fly, bringing bee-sized surveillance aircraft closer to reality.
The Experts found bee wings were rigid at the front and flexible at the back. This structure generates the most lift.
The miniature aircraft could be used for traffic monitoring, border surveillance or even spying. Gus would be excited about that. I can see my Naughty Folder getting filled up very quickly. All those miniature spy flights in the Baths at the University.

Well we too have been working on manned flight. We have not perfected it yet but hope to before Gus returns. It will be a nice surprise for him to see me winging it alongside his Air Canada Boeing 767, down the glide path to touchdown at Vancouver International Airport.
