Flying reindeer? It's possible! What a treat I got Sat.!! I was driving out in the country and saw about 20 deer crossing the road. First I saw a couple, then here comes a few more and more..... it was wonderful. About 5 or so went across the next road and I shot them out the windshield. Not the best, but you can see them jumping the fence here!!!
When the numbers don't add up, vacations remain a pipe dream. In Italy, 31.4% of people cannot afford a week away from home. Real incomes are falling, the prices of tourist services are rising, and vacations are getting shorter. The freedom to travel is becoming a privilege, not a possibility for everyone.

A close combat demonstration by troops of the 4th Canadian Division during an open house event brought approving looks by the supervising instructor. To add a little extra realism, pepper spray was used on the fellow with the helmet. Alley-oop!

From Reminiscences of World War Two by John C. McManus -
"I recall at least one combat mission in Alley Oop. Perhaps I flew other missions in that plane, but memory is getting a little too fuzzy to recall. However, I also remember flying Alley Oop home to the United States when the European War was over. Rather then a relaxed safe flight, the trip turned out to be as hazardous as most combat missions.
I was flying co-pilot with Dave Campbell. We left Gioia, Italy on June 6 1945. The first leg of the journey of 1.592 miles was to Marrakech, Morocco where we spent the night. The 1200 mile trip to the Azores Islands was also uneventful. But the 3rd leg to Newfoundland proved to be 1,750 miles of stress. Not only was the weather miserable, but the wings kept icing up. Remember, we had no de-icing equipment on our combat planes during the war. The wings would ice up to the point where we had to dive down to just a few feet above the ocean for a slow de-frost. The waves were extremely high and the wind was turbulent. When they defrosted, we climbed up to a more reasonable height until they iced up again. We kept up this routine until we reached Newfoundland 10 hours later.
On landing at Newfoundland, we heard that four of our returning airplanes did not make it, and had likely been lost at sea. We never heard who was lost because we left Newfoundland first thing in the morning to fly the final 765 miles to Bradley Field in Connecticut. The total flying time was 31 hours and 15 minutes. In Connecticut, we turned Alley Oop over to a transport crew who flew it to a B-24 graveyard some place in the Southwest - an ignoble ending for our old friend, Alley Oop."
A small puddle just before the wall gave extra slipperiness to this wallride. "No problem, wheels are dry enough when you hit the wall" was Kivi´s response to that issue.

Vans team rider Daniel Sandoval took the win today at the 2014 Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational as part of the 52nd Annual Coastal Edge East Coast Surfing Championships (CE-ECSC) in Virginia Beach, Virginia. CE-ECSC is the largest and most anticipated action sports festival on the East Coast and the action and energy on the BMX park course did not disappoint.
The course was expanded this year to allow for plenty of lines and variety to go with the huge tricks thrown down in previous years. The crowd and riders gave it their seal of approval by “cranking it to 11″ from start to finish.
Gary Young was the top rider in Prelims on Friday, yet all 18 riders in the event rode great, reflected by the fact that less than 10 points separated Gary from 18th place.
Jason Watts from Brisbane, Australia made the most of his summer in the states by following up his third place finish at the Van Doren Invitational with a solid fifth place finish here. Boomerang airs and brakeless nosemanuals flowed together with huge tricks over the box. Fellow Aussie Ryan Guettler landed in fourth place with a one-handed table flip, huge flair, and the transfer of the weekend – an alleyoop 720 from spine to box.
Despite tweaking his knee during his top scoring prelim run, Gary Young followed up his big win at the Van Doren Invitational with a third place finish in Virginia Beach. He blasted the quarter pipe higher than anyone while riding in typical Gary fashion – fast and flowing with unique lines the other riders were blown away by.
Scotty Cranmer’s runs were unreal. He finished .20 behind the winner, despite a fall at the end of his second run which was full of highlights – a massive double tailwhip flip over the box, a clean 720 over the spine straight into a fufanu to icepick to turndown on the wallride.
Last year’s second place rider, Daniel Sandoval, moved to the top of the podium this year. In addition to his big tricks over the box, Daniel did huge double whips on the quarter pipe, a double whip over the channel, a 900 and a vader scuff nosemanual to add some lip trick variety.
“I am so excited to take home the win,” said Daniel Sandoval. “After placing second last year, I was super fired up to come back to Virginia Beach this year. Thanks to Vans for supporting this event, it’s always great to come out and compete in such a fun city.”
The vibe throughout the week at the Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational was reminiscent of the Vans Triple Crown of BMX series that ran from 2001-2004. The insane level of riding was surpassed only by the amount of fun had by all.
This project was brought to life in 2016 by the City of Vancouver, the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association (DVBIA), as well as HCMA Architecture + Design.
The alley has one basketball hoop, but three were originally planned.
Pink Alley won the international award for Downtown Achievement Award of Excellence in 2017.
The entire alley extends to about 100 metres.

R. I. P. Jack Bender – A tribune to a gifted artist and a phenomenal man
My friend and Popeye's Pal Jack Bender passed away last Thursday January 5. He was in his early 90s. Jack began illustrating Alley Oop in 1991 with Dave Graue handling the writing duties. When Graue retired in 2001, Jack's wife Carole took over scripting the strip. Here's a picture of Jack as a little tyke in his Popeye Halloween costume in the late 1930s. Jack acquired a duplicate of this Popeye costume a few years ago, and Carole shared this boyhood photo of him
