Behold...

 ...the conquering hero comes!!!
Max has completed and survived his grueling African rally.

 He returned to us for one night - today he's off to Winnipeg but hopes to return soon.

We celebrated his survival at the bar (X- Luc's) and at the only restro in town (X-T-Rex)

Plus it was Janet's birthday, another cause to party...

Most of the tribe were out, including the rarely spotted Padge seen here with John's chin. Lots of photies, most of them unusable - I quite like this rather odd one of Claudinne, taken in the morning  at the coffee break. She has returned to the fold with a brand new titanium knee and is very happy with it.

The thought crossed my mind that future archaeologists will be charmed by the metal carried in our bodies and then I thought - oops, most people want to be cremated after death (NOT me BTW)  So is the metal extracted before cremation or does it go through with the corpse and if so does it melt??
Just askin'.
