Just the guys

     Just a heads up. My Better Half has returned to the Nation's Capital to attend the her aunt's funeral. She had been quite ill for quite some time and in my opinion her passing is now providing relief to her and her family. This has left myself and the Loin Fruits to look after ourselves. We're pretty self sufficient so it's not an issue.

     The Sages had been in the Peg for Thanksgiving. While there they visited with One of the Uncles and an aunt on the other side. They also went and saw the Canadian Museum of Human Rights. By all reports it's a fantastic display. My Better Half and I have been thinking about going back for a visit. It would have to be in the summer. I'd rather brave the bloodsuckers rather than the frozen prairie.

     Our neighbour, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia, has been moved by his kids to a facility in Capital City. There has been some concern of late of his ability to be on his own.

     The Big Swede sent me a message last week. It seems he went back to the Base Camp by himself - a lull in his work - and he had a night sighting of the big hairy monkey kind. From 140 feet away he had spotted eye shine that was close to eight feet off the ground. Pretty unnerving but the Swede held his ground at it left. He feels that it was just as shocked as he was. In his videk message you can see how stoked he was.

     We got rid of another rental cat last night. Our cats are very happy.

     The Sr. Loin Fruit is training for a second job. He's in a position where he feels like he is a key part of a team. This is a great boost for his person. There is nothing better than to feel like an essential part of an operation.

     Have the leaves turned colour where you live? We have started but we dont get the colors that they do down east. I'm sure the maples in the Nation's Capital are looking fantastic but I doubt if my Lobster has noticed them with all the traffic.

     Have you heard of the Saudi reporter who may have been assassinated by his own countrymen? Rumour has it a fifteen man hit squad took him out at the Saudi embassy in Turkey. He had been living in exile in the Hugh-Ess and had gone to the embassy to get some paperwork.

     There is a new wave that is about to hit the Great White North. In just four days cannabis will become legal to own and consume. Here in the Valley - which has been described as Hippy Central - I'm sure that the scent of burning weed will be very prevalent not that it isn't already. Another wave is that is about to take hold - and I hope that it is true - is the rise of the Democratic Party in the Mid Term elections. I hope that the Tangerine Tyrant is shaking on his golden throne.

     I've been struggling with getting my new book out. The Lady who uploaded my last book has suffered an injury and cannot operate a mouse for a computer. She gave me the names of individuals who could help me but I've decided to strike out on own. Our resident computer guru, the Sr. Couch Monkey, has helped with some of my glitches. Hopefully I can make the final corrections and get the damn thing uploaded. This new tome is 1.5 x the size of the last one at 463 pages. Not bad, really since my Better Half ethically screened out about 50 pages. She said those portions had to go as I would be facing a lawsuit or two. The last book is priced at $24.95 . If you have any ideas on what I should price this one at drop me a line. Once its uploaded I will order some copies for myself. I'll gift a dozen to the Air Museum here in the Valley for them to sell and keep the profits. I have to send a copy to a Hugh-Ess Air Force member who permitted me to use a quote and I'll be sending a copy to our PM & MND in the hope that they will wake the hell up.
Wish me luck.
