... love to quote the author or source , but haven't a clue.
We do not love America and America certainly doesn't love us.
They like our money , God , do they need that.
The Americans live fast and busy. Someday , I might even meet a contented American. Like really , dude.
Review : our trip south
We spent 40 days ( and the requisite 40 nights ). Found the grocery stores ( and Target and Walmart ) loaded w/ great variety and generally lower prices than here.
The theatres were cheaper , seniors $ 8 during the day. Our Ohioan companions thought $8 was a little high.
The service in restaurants and shopping venues is better than home.
The wait staff e.g. are usually pretty happy to see you and are pleasant.
Fishing very satisfactory. Not large numbers but , as Fri night , I managed 3 silvers.
Flying home. Plane was late , by 20 minutes. But after that , all happened on schedule. Luggage came quickly , Customs was scan passports and declaration and walk out. Limo came on time.
On the plane , there was no broadcast TV for the American side of the flight and they provide free access to PayPer View movies.
I watched ' Gravity ' w/ Sandra Bullock and Geo Clooney.
If you enjoy hearing SB , breathe loud , its your kind of movie.
Technically , well done - special effects etc. After that , its pretty much downhill ( ha - ha , she ends up on Earth after all )
rating on the Redbox scale 0.3 out of 1 dollar. Do not buy this puppy but free from the library , it would be OK.
Please be aware that I was listening through earbuds and this fact just about guarantees that no movie can be good under the circumstances - they might just as well stuffed my ears w/ cotton batten
Home thoughts. crikey , who let the snow out. I'm assuming that the Federal Melting Agency will get right on this , and clear up the mess by June.
Glad to be home. Apparently , Rob Ford is a liar and a sly conniving deceiver. Do tell.
And they discovered all this while I was gone.
In the TorStar , a headline at the back ( natch ) , claims that Arctic warming may be responsible for our colder / snowier winters.
Shades of the ' Day After To-morrow '.
Time to shave and get normal
