W/ Regrets

The weather is cool to almost cold but we will warm up.
The fishing is / was slow ( that means I didn't catch much )

The World News by the numbers ( as seen in the Torstar )

Bleak and White in America

4         out of 5 U.S. adults have been jobless , near poverty or relied            on welfare at some point in their life

63       % of white respondents who categorized the U.S. economy
           as ' poor '

19       million whites below the poverty line of $ 23 , 021 for a                    family of 4. nearly double the number of poor blacks

1.5      million white single mother families in poverty in 2011. Same            number  for blacks

49       % of working class whites who think their children will do 
           better than they did. For blacks 67 % , think that.

In Japan - the numbers

86       million dollars spent to upgrade prisons w/ handrails and 
           ramps to accommodate the elderly population incarcerated

70       % of elderly crime that involved food theft


OK , this is going from bad to very bad. And we didn't even get to Kenya
