Mid-winter sports break
My take on winter is that you have to have a few traditions. Apart from piling and re-piling accumulated precipitation. Or avoiding near occasions of frostbite.
Anyhow, my biggest nod is to sports. In particular, that mid-winter war, otherwise known as the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Ruthless rock throwing. My preference for the Scotties has nothing to do with paper products and everything to do with the absence of testosterone. Check it out, before things end (after many ends) in just over a week. And may the best team win.
Can somebody give our government leaders access to a dictionary, or at least a Wikipedia feed. The foiling of a terrorist plot in Halifax, in which the plot involved a half-handful of Columbine wanna-be kids, and nothing to do with religion or culture or ethnicity. No, we don’t need any new (and improved) statutes to deal with idiocy.
Happened across an interview between Peter Mansbridge and Hillary Clinton. She seems reasonable. Maybe it’s time for the neighbours to go for a matriarchal society; the current model hasn’t worked out that well for, well, anybody. A few years of reasonable (and reasoned) peace wouldn’t hurt. Go ahead, folks. Give it a try. Please.
Just read an article about how to up the personal storage space available “in the cloud”. Should I decide to head that way, could we pair it with better access to Internet service, without usage caps? All I need is to commit my life scraps to a service that I can’t access, because someone watched one too many Netflix flicks in the last couple of weeks.
