I don't always agree with Don Cherry. I respect him, though, in a strange way entirely reserved for Don Cherry. And I have to say, I think that he's got this particular issue neatly wrapped up. Don't our politicians have better things to worry about? Seriously, this kind of thing really pisses me off. And it looks like Doan didn't even say what they're fussing about. Someone got hold of a story and wanted a scapegoat and have blown it so out of proportion it makes everyone involved - except Doan himself - look like complete morons. I'm not saying that it was a nice thing to say, or appropriate. But from all the evidence, he didn't even say it. So it was a non-issue before it even got started.
There's other stuff to worry about. Global warming. Domestic violence. Obesity. Water quality. The fact that this is even on parliament's radar just blows my mind.

I love this but it also makes me sad. I really wish this sort of thing wasn't necessary. I'm having a kind of down-on-humanity couple of days. The litter flying everywhere after a wind storm, the dude in the parking lot of Tim Hortons who idled the entire time I parked, went inside, got my tea and my food, came back out... and was still idling when I left...
I want to yell at these people, or people in general, but I was in Tim Horton's getting my tea in a disposable cup, so that doesn't make me any better.
I just don't have a lot of hope for humans, really. Well, hope for the fact that we can turn things around. I think we can, but I suspect we won't. So I'm just going to keep going and do what I can, the small bit that it is.

One of the first things that has occurred to me upon moving is that I'm not sure I am going to be comfortable walking around in pjs anymore. It just feels too informal. I'm a homeowner now. Do homeowners walk around their homes in pjs?
Things are still in shambles here. But I have my own office, and that is cool. And the bedroom is mostly set up, and we have a great kitchen. Tonight we are too tired to use it, but it is going to be awesome.
Something else that is hilarious to me is that there is no way we can fit all of our kitchen stuff into this kitchen -- which is nearly three times the size of the apartment kitchen. Coffee mugs must breed when no one is looking.
