The Boeing X-32, left, and the Lockheed X-35 competed for the DoD contract to produce the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in 1997. Both companies received 0 million grants to build prototypes. The new single-engine, Mach-1 capable aircraft needed to be stealthy and provide robust situational awareness to the pilot during attacks on ground targets and when fighting in air-to-air engagements. It also needed to meet the specifications of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps as well as nation partners. Lockheed won the competition which would eventually produce the F-35 Lightning II.

 Why is internet so expensive in Canada? Updated on August 1 1 , 2021 Canadians benefit from high-quality internet networks that offer good reliability and speeds, but we pay more than other countries for the same level of service. Canada currently has the 2nd most expensive internet (only behind the US) of the G7 countries for speeds over 41 Mbps and has consistently been the 2nd or 3rd most expensive for at least the past 5 years. The Big 5 Canadian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) (Bell, Rogers, Telus, Shaw and Quebecor (Videotron)) receive 73.3% of the market's revenues and charge higher prices due to a lack of competition. •  The lack of competition is due to a wide variety of factors including the industry's high barrier to entry, large market share, restricted foreign investment, potential for price coordination and history of privatization and acquisitions. •  The national telecom companies have a go-to list of reasons why prices are high, commissioning their own...

  Well we are back again, long neglected it look's as if Blogs are generally in remission. I used emails for year's but decided to revert to being a Blogger again instead of deleting spam emails.

I know you can block the Spam email source but it's not long after another duplicate shows up. We have 2 desktops, and 1 Tablet, all receive SPAM. You can expect seeds of Wisdom about once a week.

 For those who do not know what living in Canada is like in the Winter - Here are pictures of our Street.

On New Years Eve, an old Irish tradition at midnight is to open the back door then the front door to let the Old Year Out and the New Year in. I think this year deserves the doors, windows, and garage doors to be open. Bye bye 2020.  Hope we never see a repeat.

Trump's Departure.  Thanks Judy.  

  Well at least it's a diversion from all this covid  talk. We received about 4 in. of snow over the  weekend. The kid that does our driveway waits for  the snow plow to do it's thing so he does not have t o do it twice. We do not shovel anymore, too dangerous for us old folks. This is our first Winter in 33 yrs. It's no wonder we went to Florida for 32 of them.Cheers.J&P

 

 

 Colours in North Bay have been exceptional this Fall. Pictures are from our street and two  adjacent streets. Here are a few to illustrate.
