The dam's been opened

I'm practicing my new trick by sending more photos.  At the moment I'm in the Oak Bay library escaping the tense atmosphere at my parents' place as they await my brother's arrival on the ferry.  Today is the first day of real wind since I've been here and this adds to their level of concern.  Fortunately, they don't have internet access, so I was able to use the excuse of having to check something on eBay to get out for a walk in the wind and a trip to the library.  I actually am awaiting the end of the auction I entered.  The time will be up in 10 min.  Here are some pictures:

Bill, Barb and me on Mount MacKay

More anon.  As my mother would say, "Is that a threat or a promise?"
