The fall brings with it traditions. It can
be in the form of flying kites, admiring the
fall colours, pumpkins, or simply noticing
the sun’s rays piercing down through low
clouds of the autumn sky at earlier hours
then a few weeks prior. This is what I took
note of, as illustrated so well in the attached photo taken from a recent training flight in a C-172. Don’t rat me out, though….
as in a car, use of a cellphone during the
operation of a motor airplane is forbidden. Or at least, the one at the controls
shouldn’t be snapping pics. Still, I think
that such a violation of the rules is a lot
less dangerous in the air than in a car on
a busy highway. But look at the picture again. Who among us wouldn’t have
thought to capture the view for posterity?
that come before it. It’s the bottleneck
that could stop everything. The thought of
nothing going out is something we dearly
want to avoid. One thing that we can avoid
is overtaxing an already overtaxed packing
and mailing system any further. This leads
me to address the increasing volume of
questions as to when we will be holding
some sort of special offer event, an Afterparty, some other form of a sale, free postage.….and other goodies. Unfortunately,
Friends, we cannot afford to do to our system of operation the sort of things that an
Afterparty does under current conditions.
We have to endure, and live with the comfort of the thought of better times ahead
when such events can and will be held.
But, in an effort to uphold some of the
traditions that have developed over the
past several years, we have decided to announce this years’ Edoween, an event we
typically hold at the end of October and
into the beginning of November. But, in order to not contradict myself with respect
to the paragraph above, I have to say that
this year’s Edoween will be minus the sale
component.
The rest of it remains unchanged. We
have some 500 etches with the Edoween
theme associated with them, which are
illustrated down below. This year, the pieces will be in brass, the size and theme
of which remain unchanged. They will be
included with all internet orders that go
through our e-shop between November 1st
and 3rd, while supplies last.
So, at least with this, we can still get
a taste of tradition, and look forward to
the day with some optimism when we
won’t need to set any limiting restrictions. Let’s all hope that such days are
coming soon, with the days getting longer just around the corner. And I know
that you know what time of year I have
in mind. The sun, and the passing of the
year, have their own traditions that we,
people, with all our technical developments, our politics, our natural or artificial
viruses, sometimes are sadly unaware of.

This fall, and really, this whole year, has
given us something that no one wants to
become a tradition. You know exactly what
I am referring to. The abnormal winds that
have blown in, and the effects that it has
in conjunction with the apparent coming
apart at the seams of the world at large,
has meant a slew of restrictions, cancellations and ruined get togethers that have
adversely impacted the modelling community. This has also entered into our firm
with a set of restrictions and modifications that have needed to be implemented.
But even despite all this, we still want to
prepare new kits, new accessories, foster
new ideas, to design, to draw, to create and also to supply…. And it is the end
of all of those processes, the supply end of
it, that is in danger of limitation and impacting the usefulness of all those things
