Bent out of Shape

     So Dear Readers...

     Did you vote?

     Not that there was any real change in the Political Spectrum here in the Great White. But I sincerely hope you did cast a ballot. The outcome was very similar to the outgoing Parliament. In fact it is so similar that the ele ton has been referred to as a $600 million cabinet shuffle. Once again the vast majority of the winning seats came from the central part of the country and the vast amount of the opposition seats are in the west. Several parts of the country are once again feeling very alienated from the rest of the country. As I have mentioned before, a means to defend against this unbalance is to have a Triple E senate - Equal, Elected and Effective. There would be an equal number of senators from each province regardless of their population size - EPI (Enlarged Potato Island) would have the same number of senators as La Belle Province or Sa-hatchewan or the Left Coast. The members would be elected - there would be no more padding g the Red Chamber with cronies who were now beholden to the ruling government. This new body would be effective. At least that's the belief.

     My friend the Great Ghiz is in town for a week. We went out to a local eatery to catch up, tell lies to each other and drink beer. The plan was to take him to see our mutual Friend from Over the Hump but Ghiz is working - babysitting in my opinion - the entire trip. So the trip is a no go. Tonight we are headed over to dine with Elric the Stalwart and his Lobster. We were asked to bring a salad. I'm also bringing a couple of specialty beers and a bottle of red elixir. They will certainly add to the pleasantness of the evening.

     I am awake for some unknown reason and so I am also vertical. Coffee is cooking. Breakfast yet to come. Last night the Great Ghiz came to the Wayward Inn.  Without breaking OpSec, the planned missions were a No Go and so my Lobster and I put on a spread. The Flame Pit was fired up for steaks, marinated chicken boobs, whole curried onions and a couple of veggie patties for the Jr. Couch Monkey. There was oven roasted yams and home grown potatoes and Timothy provided us with a pair of sourdough focaccia.With six of dining there was not a lot of leftovers.

     It was twenty-six years ago that my Lobster and I were married. And on the night before our wedding the Great Ghiz and my Brother from Another Mother accompanied me on a last night out. We were to be babysat by two of my Better Half's Cuz'n in-laws through the Nation's Capital. Hmmm...good luck with that. Last night we discussed the facts of that event that could be barely recalled over several craft sales. The Couch Monkeys were entertained and the Sr. Loin Fruit brought out this elixir called Tofino Espresso Vodka. Sounds horrible but we thought it was worth a try. The Great Ghiz stated he was going to have to pick some up to take home.

     I'm working today and my Better Half has several appointments to attend to. We have The Roof Guy coming back to identify, locate and repair the leak that appears to have not been fixed the last time he was at the Wayward Inn. The other night I was awakened to the sound of dripping water. I got up and wandered around trying to locate it. I thought that I was dreaming because the issue was supposed to have been fixed. Later, when everyone was up I checked the previous location and there was a fresh water stain on the Oma-nator's ceiling. Not impressed. 

     Our dear British friend is in hospital. She had taken a fall at home and now needs medical care. The timing could not be worse as her house has been sold and she was in the process of moving into a friend's suite while her new place in the Seniors Rabbit Hutch is completed. The rest of her household is in the process of moving deep into the Interior so this calamity has put a strain on them as well. My Better Half and I stopped in to see her. For being nearly a century old she's looking pretty good.

     Well Dear Readers I will close this out. I have to rustle up some breakfast and make my lunch for work. Take care and share the blog.
