A Bigger World

To-day , we will go global and local and national.

In Egypt , they dumped their President who was Islamist and picked a court official  B/c , this is Friday , there are tense times , a tradition has sprung up in Egypt for riots and violence to flare after prayers on Fri.
To Western ideology , going to prayers and coming out rioting seems oxy-moronic. The deposed government was based on the Islamist Brotherhood , so maybe praying to Allah and then supporting the boys makes some kind of sense.

Home Grown terrorism. In B.C. , a couple was arrested after a five month sting op. The charges are conspiracy to blow up the BC legislature. You've got to know that BC is reknowned for laid back pot smoking life. Its a stereotype , yes , but the people are calm out there , maybe they should do dope in Egypt.
On the other hand , I think the mounties and CSIS get bored and jump on some unsuspecting slobbos , for a lark.

The news announced the latest data shows that T.O. home sales fell 1 % and house prices rose 4.7 %. There are indications that an inevitable rise in interest rates ( 3.2 % , as of now ) will kill the decade long run on house prices and sales. Lately , five yr mortgages have started to approach 5 %.

I'm typing and drinking coffee in our ' sunroom '. Some people build an addition ( as did the next door neighbour , to the west ). ' We ' had the tree removed , its a different room. The kitchen has cathedral ceilings , w/ slot windows on the east , and sliding patio doors plus a 4 ft x 3 ft crank out window over the sink on that N wall. That is tons of window or glass BUT take away that tree on the east and bingo bongo a SUNROOM is born.
We were so grateful we paid 40 % of the removal cost much to the reluctant surprise of our eastern neighbours. They need to realize what they've done for our house. Yippee.

Warm and humid , again , rain a constant threat.

No upper dentures for Mom , checked almost everything in her room. The dentist is offering to replace the upper denture for $ 580.
I figure that it means , it will only cost me 120 dollars a day to keep my Mom in teeth if she keeps losing the dentures      ( or 580 divided by 5 ). Me thinks that she better get used to pablum. You can buy a lot of pablum for 120 dollars a day.

The universe continues to unfold, and unfold and unfold.........
