Well, the Doubke Whiskey Smoked turkey was a hit. The best turkey I've ever had and even my Lobster agrees with me. Of course there are tons of leftovers and that's the problem with holiday meals, especially in North America. Gluttony is a problem.

Well, this is a real piss off. Yesterday I had typed out a lot of stuff on this blog site and due to my error plus a change to the blog site itself nothing was saved. Just bloody perfect. So, let's see if I can recap.
My Aunt in the Frozen Centre of the Great White North dodged the massive power outage that left many thousands of users to rely on candles. That snow is now melting raising the river levels to near flood stage. The only bonus is that it is too cold for mosquitoes to hatch.
Did you vote?
My Lobster and I hit the advance polls on Saturday and the Couch Monkeys went on Sunday. According to the latest stats the advance polls have seen an increase of 21% over the last federal election. The race is tight between the top two parties with the balance of power being split amongst the rest. I'm thinking that we are looking at a minority government which may result in more work actually being accomplished than with a majority government.
Am I boring you? Well, too bad. Those who make up our government are people who work for you. If they are not doing what is best for you fire them by voting them out. As much as I hate the Hugh-ess political system their voting public is much more attuned to their voting rights and they vote for everything. The Prez,
Congress, the Senate, judges, sheriffs, mayors, district attorneys, councillors. All of these positions and more are decided by the public and believe me if they are not doing a good job they'll be out of office at the next election. Canadians are more laid back for some reason when it comes to voting and yet they love too bitch about the Monkeys on the Hill. In a recent federal election nearly half the eligible voters did not exercise their right to do so. This number really appalls me. And you know that these clowns scream the most when taxes or levies go up. I'm tired of trying to cajole people to vote. Hey, in the Land Down-Under all eligible voters are on a list and if they don't cast a ballot without due cause they are fined. Sounds like a plan to me! But, I would step it up a notch. In my books the second time that a registered eligible voter does not exercise their right that idiot should be forced to live in a country that does not have free and fair elections. I'm sure that you can imagine some of them.
It has been over a year since I was employed in the Animal Control position. Do I miss it? I miss helping the people. I dont miss being on call every second weekend that's for sure. My former workmate is now on my third replacement. Oh, well.
We recieved a flyer in the mail for a new nine lot development that is about a ten minute drive from the Wayward Inn. Now, I know that the amount of available land to build on, especially in my part of the Valley, is rapidly shrinking and is one of the reasons why the land speculators are making out like bandits. Any idea what the lot prices are? $350,000. Just the lot. No building. Crazy. You can buy half of Butt-F**k Prairieville for that price.
