The threads I started several years ago with instructions for Mickey Lamp Posts and Mickey Rope Lights have been pretty active lately. I'm glad to see the interest from all of the Do-It-Yourselfers! I don't think I ever posted this project. This one is very easy - and a great way to display all those Antenna Toppers! http://www.carol-anne.ca/Antenna%20Topper%20Rack.htm Have Fun!

I haven't seen a Minnie version either. I'd love to see a picture! The rope light that I normally use might be a bit too rigid to make tight curls for the bow, but I did buy one, an 18 footer, several years ago at Spirit Halloween that was a bit more flexible and might do the job! Show me a picture if you can, I'd like to try this out!

Here's one for you! A rack to display all those antenna toppers you own! http://www.carol-anne.ca/Antenna%20Topper%20Rack.htm

A hole saw is the way to go . . . but yes, they do cost $20 - $30. Good news - you only have to buy it once. When you use the hole saw, keep it flat to the surface of the globe and keep it moving at all times. Use light pressure, don't press too hard. I have found that it melts it's way through as much as it cuts it's way through. Just rub around the edges with a file or sandpaper to remove any beads of melted acrylic and you're ready to glue!

We were lucky to be Dave and Dee's neighbors at The Fort for a few weeks. We saw his amazing castle again and again and again . . . it just never gets old! Thanks Dave!

Thanks for sharing your pictures TCD! http://land.allears.net/blogs/guestblog/2013/11/in_progress_the_dragon_calliop.html An interesting blog on the missing calliope!

Great report . . . as always! Thanks

The overlays at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World are just amazing! I sure hope that the Jingle Cruise is a huge success and leads to more overlays at WDW.

Yup - 81 to 77 to 26 to 95 - that's our normal route. We live just across the Canadian border, about 25 miles from where I-81 ends. The only place my wife gets nervous is coming down that 7 mile hill from VA into NC. Dan, do you play cards with the cruise control on coming down there? :bugeyes:

In Australia McDonalds serves an "Aussie Burger" - it's a 1/4 Pounder with cheese plus a fried egg and a slice of beet. In New Zealand the "Aussie Burger" is called a "Kiwi Burger" but they are identical. They both sound pretty goofy . . . but they are good!

We use a Virgin Mobile MiFi . . . I think they use the Sprint network. Works just fine for us at the Fort.

Yes, that is the Olympic Stadium. The Expo's played MLB there for many years! The amusement park on those two islands in the St. Lawrence River is the site of EXPO 67 - the World's Fair which was held in Montreal in Canada's Centennial Year - 1967. The biosphere is a geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller - the same design as Spaceship earth. It was built for EXPO 67. As for the USA invading Quebec . . . give it your best shot! The rest of Canada has been fighting the French-Canadiens since 1750. We have defeated them dozens of times but they just won't quit fighting.

We go a few times a year . . . 1,405 miles to Fort Wilderness from our home in Canada.

While you were in Halifax did you hear about the explosion? During WW1 a ship loaded with munitions was in a collision in the harbor. It lost power, caught fire and drifted to the main dock before exploding. It was the biggest man-made explosion until the Enola Gay dropped her little bundle of fun on Hiroshima during WW2. Most of Halifax was levelled in the explosion!

Judy already covered the Parks Canada question quite well, but I'll add that we also have some amazing Provincial Parks - similar to State Parks in America. Sydney is a coal mining and steel making city. The coal mines have many shafts which stretch out a few miles under the Atlantic Ocean. They're a brave bunch, those coal miners who call themselves "Men of the Deeps". The walled fortress at Louisbourg was the site of several battles during the French and Indian War (1754–1763). Many New England soldiers and militiamen lost their lives at Louisbourg. It is a great "living museum" and
