Tonight I watched Merriton’s annual investment in civic pride. A most amazing display of fireworks held each Labour day weekend for the entertainment of all who watch. I watched it in awe from a most advantageous viewing point in my neighbours backyard which I snuck into as the view from mine is hampered by our …

The Federal NDP has a new Leader
Today the Federal NDP elected a charismatic Sikh as Federal leader of the NDP. I supported Niki Ashton because she stood for real change. She had policies that reflected the winning left policies that Jeromy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders stood for with such success. She in an economic and social sense was harking back to …
Popeye muscle
I have a pop up spinach fed Popeye looking bicept muscle. Showed it to Laurine and she said she did not get together with me because of my muscle. What really happened is I stopped something from falling and tore a ligament popping the muscle up. The other one is more normal.
The good, bad and awful – colonostopy
There are some days you wish would just end and I thought today would be one. Having a colonoscomy is sure to make one of those days. After a day and a half in which I was told I could only drink water or other clear liquids, c-day arrives and I had to get up …
A Better Choice – Ashton
Guy Caron was a good choice for NDP House leader but not the best choice. Niki Ashton would have been a better choice. Niki is a strong speaker and a more than capable woman for the job. As a feminist, playing a leadership role, she would provide a face and voice that would attract the …
Feeling old
Went down stairs and got a small (need to edit) glass of wine and started to watch the Lawrence Welk show with a bunch of old people dancing to his bands music. Gee I am starting to feel old!

Losing with 43.7 percent of …
Fun at Legion 17
Thorold had a blues music festival this past weekend. Plaudits to Thorold on this one. There was a mix of over 25 performers and bands in the city. Saturday night, Laurine and I went to the Thorold Legion 17 and we took in a performance by Brant Parker and Allstar Jam. Never heard of them …
Driverless cars
I am hoping the development of driverless cars occurs quickly before the time when I will assuredly lose my drivers licence for disabling senility or impairment. I question whether the licence police can take my drivers licence away disallowing me from driving a car that I am not driving.
Wet dreams
I find, these days, that I am having a lot of discomforting dreams like I cannot find my car as I continue walking around the parking lot till dawn. Laurine just told me she had a dream where she was flying through the sky. That got me remembering that I had that sort of dream …
