WHERE TO NEXT? WE ARE READY TO MOVE ON DEC. 1991
As I said in my last post from Kuwait, I had escaped and was now back in Calgary. The time was late December 1991. From here I will continue my chronology of events in our life, as I now remember…
“SUMMER IS OVER TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK YOU OLD FOOL”
So with those words of encouragement in my head, I slink back into my cage and search for inspiration. I read back thru a few of my most recent posts and find little there to inspire anyone. No wonder my…
CATCH UP HOME MOVIES FROM NZ 1991
I’m still playing catch up with my home movies from NZ, Australia, Fiji and Hawaii from late May of 1991, just before I left for Kuwait. I know they are torture to watch, but if I don’t get them saved…

MY OPINION OF WHERE OUR WORLD IS GOING – AUGUST 2020
Will (Ariel) Durant once said “No great civilization has ever been conquered from without, until it has destroyed itself from within”. Prophetic, no? Where does it apply today. I guess unless you reside under a rock. You can see an…
A TURKEY SHOOT IN KUWAIT – 1991
As I mentioned earlier the group I was assigned to was in charge of rebuilding and restarting the “gathering centres” and “tank farms”. And this post is of a memory of my time spent working on these gathering centres. These…
AND THEN “BIG WIND” ARRIVES FROM HUNGARY – Q8 1991
Let’s say that at just past the midpoint, of the projected schedule for the firefighting efforts. In about October of 1991, we contracted the services of a wild well control group out of Hungary. And I must say, that the…
