No , this isn't like approaching 800 goals in hockey , or 800  straight games in baseball. However , I did allude to the fact that the next 6 blogs in blogspots after mine are really vacant sites.  As well , I've noticed other blogs had fallen silent when I've accessed them.

Thus , we need to address  - consistency 
Oscar Wilde , oft quoted libertarain , said ' consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative '  Pleasant fellow , wasn't he.

I should get some points for staying w/ it. You , the reader , are aware that I may need this therapy device , way more than Oscar Wilde ever did.

Painting the bedroom. Finally, a beginning. Only we've been going for four days.
 The ceiling is white. Of course , the ceiling started white , so , it's whiter or cleaner. Will anyone notice ??? Will we notice as we stare up just before nodding off or numbly drag our carcasses out of the sack ?? Dunno. The can and paint girl said ' high hide - one coat ' but white on white is not the test. Pale blue ??? on pink will be.

We discovered as well , that our 4 poster pine bedstead doesn't appreciate being dragged around like a rag doll. One post was sagging last night , as well as us, and we found one bracket was bent. I was tired but managed to clear the offending tang and the bracket is holding w/ 2  of  3 slots engaged.
The bedroom suite was our first purchase to - gether. And , it was a revelation that people could pay as much for a furniture as I paid for a car.
Boy , was I naive. However , 28 years later , a bracket failed , so really alls good.

Weather , as predicted , hot and humid and increasing til to - morrow , kinda a sticky ending to the July 1, Canada Day. The rain was epic last night. Gushing gutters and a solid wall of noise for about 1 / 2 hr.
BTW - Canada is 139 yrs old to - morrow. Founded in 1865 , a hodge podge of everything right and wrong w/ the world.
We are safe and secure and the largest diaspora for approx 60 cultures and nationalities. We celebrate more independence days on our calendar  than any other country.
P.S. - I made that last one up - but I'm probably , not wrong either.

Have a beer to - morrow , and salute the hodge podge nation to your north

Happy Canada day  !! Y'all
