Congratulations to my dad who enjoyed his first official day of retirement today - I don't think the weekend counts since he wouldn't normally be working on a weekend anyway. Also he would not be working in the summer holidays either, so I guess his retirement could really start in September. Hmmm. Anyway. My dad has been working my whole life. I am sure that supporting a family of 6 on one income is no small feat, and he did it. At age 64, he has retired from teaching grades 3 and 4 at Oaklands Elementary for well over 2 decades. Before that, he was supporting the family on a substitute teacher income. I don't know how that is even possible. He deserves a bit of a rest, though I am sure he will not be idle for very long, if at all.
On one of our photogroffee trips this weekend past, we came across this Intertype linecasting machine at Whipple Tree Junction. It looked like it had been there for quite some time. I have posted a few more shots of this in my latest GDC post. More shots in this post after the cut.
