Good Morning Dear Readers!
That's right. Here in the Great White North Happy Turkey Day is almost upon us - the folks down in the Hugh-ess are a month or so behind us and unless you were living in a cave during the 1980's then you should be able to recall when the title words of this blog were spoken by the General Manager of WKRP in Cincinnati. If you can't recall ever seeing this I am truly saddened at the fact that you haven't seen one of the funniest bits on a sitcom ever. It's almost as funny as Abbot and Costello's Who's on First? I said amost as funny because in my opinion nothing can top that routine. So, Dear Readers, I want you you to go to your Googlemachine and type in the words "WKRP turkey drop". You can watch the the five minute video but for the full story i would suggest you watch the full version.
How are you celebrating Turkey Day? This is the second one since the Beer Flu hit the world and unfortunately some people didn't get the message about restricting the size of your holiday social gatherings and as a result the virus had the opportunity to spread exponentially wherever stupid people gathered to dine with others. This year the size of the gatherings will vary from province to province depending on the infection rate in each location. Here on the Left Coast we can have up to ten individuals sitting down to the feast and we have 82% of the population vaccinated. In the Redneck province next door and in Sa-hatchewan the rules are different. Up to twenty people next door and fifteen individuals at a private gathering in the Wheat Province. In both provinces almost 70% of their population has been fully vaccinated but it's the 30% who are hold up in their bunkers who are refusing to get vaccinated and it is these idiots who are being hospitalized when they get sick and are keeping the virus alive and putting their neighbours at risk by not getting vaccinated. I have no sympathy for those assholes who eventually, intubated in their hospital bed, will profess their ignorance before begging and pleading for all those who hear their message to take the shots.

Today is our Turkey Day. I have been bringing a turkey breast and a couple of huge drumsticks for two days. They'll be going into the smoker at about 13:30 hrs for three and a half hours at 250 degrees. I may put the stuffing in the smoker too. We'll be having assorted veggies and yesterday I made a pumpkin roll for dessert. I gave the Oma-nator a sample and she gave her approval.
I have all but abandoned "Who let the Goats out?" as it needs a completed rewrite. I will get it done eventually but in the meantime I am focusing on my cook book. I have decided on the title "How to cook your way out of a wet paper bag". My Lobster doesn't like the title nut cannot come up with a different one. If you have a suggestion drop me a line. The original idea was to pass on the kitchen knowledge I have gained to those who a single and just starting out on their own. I would include some simple recipes - even family favorites - that would up the reader's game. I think my Better Half thought that this would be a family recipe cook book and that's why she feels that title doesn't fit. I am planning on placing some special family recipes in another book but the scope of this book is still aimed at the young adults who are striking out on their own.

Out on my walk I spotted an elderly gentleman walking his cat on a leash. He said the cat was quite used to it as she was 18 years old. That's a long time to be on a leash. Mind you .....
Today might be a holiday but the minions are busy working on the new rabbit hutches. Not all the workers are in. Those who are in are probably playing catchup so the rest of the crew can get a fresh start tomorrow. Of course, the stupid bridge project downtown is still dragging on and will continue for another couple of months. Some other changes have taken place in the Valley. A major car dealership has relocated to a place up the hill by the Big Box Store. There is talk that the former site may become another Rabbit Hutch. If its affordable for first time buyers I'm all for it. Another dealership is going to relocate to the bottom of the hill at the site of the former Crappy Tire store. It's about time. The place has sat empty for years.

Snap, Crackle, and Pop!
You know you're getting old when these are the sounds you hear when you get up to go to work!
In the news, if you haven't heard, our Illustrious Leader is still backpedaling and licking his nuts after his massive hypothetical faux pas last week. Good! Maybe this will show his Party's Faithful that he is just all smiles and empty promises. On top of that there is the additional scandal where the The Holy C was supposed to pay out some 25M to the survivors of the Rez Schools but didn't. The two other denominations involved scraped up their share and ponied up. It seems that in Sa-hatchewan The Holy C had a friend in the Courts who ruled that the instructions the gave to the Rez students was payment enough. The Feds appealed this decision because it was bullshit - and everyone knows it. But, less than a week into JT's previous term someone authorized some second grade numpty in the Justice(?) Department to quietly drop the appeal. It wasn't even brought to the attention of the Ministry. Why? Maybe because she's a First Nations person and would have wanted to pursue the case. Well, I'll tell you one thing that slowly numpty would not have done this on his own. Someone much higher up the food chain was calling the shots.
Have you seen the Shit Storm building in the Hugh-ess? Ex-Presidents think and acting and telling every GOP zombie who will listen that he still is the Prez. These clowns are going to come out in force during the mid-terms in 22 and at the general election in 24. And when I mean in force I don't just mean at the polls. They will be armed and they may attempt to take the current administration by force. There are 120.5 guns for every 100 persons in the Hugh-ess. That's over 400 million privately owned weapons that the government knows about. They are owned by about 42% of the population who in all likelihood vote for the GOP.
Have a nice day.
