Ah Fudge !!!


Man I’m ticked
All day I was anticipating watching the Grey Cup game between SASKATCHEWAN and Montreal .
Imagine my disappointement when I discovered that the CBC, CTV or Global was not caring the game
I have the most basic of cable services, but not to be able to watch the Canadian football classic…. Shame on them all
Oh I figured it out though, the CBC isn’t covering the game because Toronto isn’t competing.
At that rate we wouldn’t see the Stanley Cup either.

I Love to Take the Photographs


Today I am saddened
There’s been a death.
There will be no more Kodachrome film.
I worked in photo retail for over 35 years and never thought I would see this day. Kodachrome had to be sent to Toronto and took and least one week to return in its familiar yellow box.
There was when I started Kodachrome 25 & Kodachrome 64, depending on the ASA you needed. Then there was no 25 to be had.
Paul Simon sung about Kodachrome, a song which was banned in the UK because it contained commercial names such as Kodachrome and Nikon.
The end of Kodachrome will pass like a thief in the night, like Beta and VHS
With the end of Kodachrome can the dust accumulation on you Kodak Carousel, be far away ( if you can still find an ELH bulb)
Remember? Kodachrome was processing included and Ektachrome was not.
Geeze Im old !!

...and the Piper Played Amazing Grace


Forty-six years ago today, my “9/11” happened.
The President of the United States of America was assassinated. I could go on and on of where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news. All of that is unimportant now.
Today were he still alive he’d be ninety-two, instead he has been dead as long as he lived.
Did I agree with his politics? I don’t know I was a mere thirteen.
The three days of his funeral, the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby the Sunday morning following the assassination, and John John’s salute to his father’s cortege as it passed, in the street although years past remain as fresh in my mind as time will allow.
R.I.P. J.F.K.

You Called me a What ?? :)


I’m not sure why, but I am officially a “twit”
I joined the social networking thingy yesterday. I can now "follow" friends family and others I choose to.
It’s kinnda like your status on Facebook, but you are supposed to change it more often.
So if you are a "Twit" you can follow me on Twitter I’m KeithBussey
After all these years of mom & dad calling me a twit, I am one.
My Granny Shaw said I was daft but that's another story.

The Blue Triangle


A lady walked into a pharmacy and spoke to the pharmacist. She asked, "Do you have Viagra?"

"Yes," he answered.

She asked, "Does it work?"

"Yes," he answered.

"Can you get it over the counter?" she asked.

"I can if I take two," he answered.
