Drifted across the lawn

posted in economy, environment, Wx |

And so, it blowed, and then it rained, and then it snowed. Through it all, I realized that having a heated house beats the worst that the local weather systems can throw at me. If we wait a few more weeks, even the snow (now drifted across the lawn) will disappear. The squirrel with his “go to the feeders” tunnel will be exposed to my ridicule, and the birds… there’ll always be birds.

Today is the first real day of competition in the 2019 Scotties, out of Sydney, NS. Let the record show that Team Homan came away with a win in their opener. All is right.

Something that I wouldn’t have noticed, nine months ago: the company in Ontario that manufactures Roadtrek RVs has just declared bankruptcy, with 900 employees now forced to reevaluate where the next meal will be coming from. Forget vacations. No brand loyalty here; I think it is wrong when the top executives walk away with the cash, leaving suppliers and the people on the factory floor in the lurch.

For those of you wondering how things are going on Day Two of the US National Emergency, take solace in learning that the big cheesy spent six hours on the golf course. That’s how you handle stress (that you’ve created). Hit a few little rubber balls, badly, on your personal course. Then charge the country for the use of the facility. Yes, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Another train carrying crude oil has derailed and leaked in MB. Funny, among all the chatter over rail vs pipeline that NOBODY offers to clean up the mess. Or even better, write such requirements into law.
