First and foremost Happy Birthday my Globe Troting Friend. I am also following in some of your foot steps. But I am sad to Say it is too modern now; would have liked the days you treked.

I have been stomping (flying) over most of Asia for 4 years now with my base in Northeaster Thailland.

China, Korea, Mandalay(Olde Burma), Malaysia, Laos, Veit Nam and others too. Off to Sri Lanka in December. January back to the Cold B.C. coast...the love of my life!

Ok now the email.

There was not much new for Gary to tell me as the area was affected by those 2 nasty Hurricanes like all of Mexico and Caribean. They even had storms in the U.S. with big flooding and deaths too.

A Big Typhoon came through here too last weekend....nasty things with much flooding in the Central & Southern regions....damn water always seems to flow down...hmmm.

The last email with the info & video of U.C. that was fantastic YES...u think!

Seems the rainy season is finish or slowing down here and we have had sunshine for the 3rd day now so have to go and check on my irrigation system now and get ready for 6 months of NO rain for my Plantation.

We don't always have to expect info form U.C. all the time as there are days in all our lives that are the same with out lots of change.

But like an old Polish friend would tell me "After Bad times comes Good times" and he knew bad times during the war and Good times living in Victoria, B.C.

Not sure if you all look at other Venture or even other high Production stocks...they are all in the same Boat as U.C. Some are also dropping by the wayside never to trade again. We have money in the bank and we are grinding ore and producing enough to keep the wolves at bay.

This is Good Yes?

Cheers
