     The question is : Are You Ready for  This!

     Are you really?

     Up here in Lotusland we are content with our socialized medicine, the lack of gun toting hot headed low brows in our midst (they're still there but are invisible because they aren't allowed to open carry), the mediocrity of our politics. But South of the 49th today will be the start of the Great Un-doing. Anything and everything even remotely progressive or empowering to those who are marginalized will be erased or reversed. The Stone Ages have returned with the horde of club swinging pussy grabbing Cavemen now occupying your Capital.

     I drove to Hub City yesterday to pick up Loin Fruit #1 and he asked if I was ready for the end of the earth. He may not be far off. But, I do have the ability to feed my family (and I hope they like rabbit). I'm not into this whole prepping thing but I do believe that some basic skills and supplies should be on hand if for nothing else but when the Big Shake happens,  a zombie apocalypse or if The Donald torques off Kim Jun IL who launches his missles at Seattle and they fall short into Victoria. No big deal, as long as the wind is an off shore breeze.

     A friend of mine, who lives overlooking Marina Park, has been documenting some  weird buildings being constructed on the western side of the park. When I asked what they were he replied that it was a "Tim Horton's Walk Through!  LOL". I haven't heard what it will be. Speaking of buildings going up the condos / apartments behind the government offices by the Courtenay River are well on their way as well. And the new hospital is still underway. It's all the interior work left now. I'm sure the landscaping will be finished this spring too. There's been a pause on the new road on Headquarters over the Tsolum River.  The east side is constructed but not paved.  I would expect that the west side has to be done before the bridge is built. Maybe, that's the next step, to build the abutments. Hey,  I'm not an engineer. Anything after Lego is beyond me.

     My Lobster is back from the Nation's Capital. The weather was just terrible while she was there but other than that she was able to meet with a number of relatives, friends and ex-coworkers. Lots of visiting and lots of running around.

     I'm still looking for people to review portions of my new tome. After the last one I think people got scared off. If anyone is interested in a little light reading give me a shout.
