Islands

I like to stop by Vladi Private Islands once in a while, to daydream a bit. During the Bubble in '99, when me and my friends in Sydney actually took a business plan to a venture capital company (and thank christ we didn't end up following through on it, is all I can say), we never used to talk about getting rich, per se, we used to talk about 'buying an island'.

Maybe someday.

The reason I mention it is that American Island, on Stuart Lake, is for sale. I've been there dozens of times - my hometown is at the tip of Stuart Lake. Very cool - wish I had C$100,000 to spare.

sh-t, I wish I had C$100 to spare.
