Hello Campers!
I know that I have been off the air, so to speak, for some time. I've had to sit back to digest and reconcile the fact that quite possibly the vast majority of the Hugh-ess voting population must be brain dead. I say this because no-one in their right mind would ever put a corrupt racist fascist Tyrant in power for a second time!
GADZOOKS!
I was severely mistaken. The highly uneducated populace was duped enmasse placing the Orange Shit-gibbon back behind the Resolute Desk surrounded by his fawning Acolytes who will shank one another for the privilege of changing their leader's diaper.
Now, if we are very careful, we will only be singed as the Hugh-ess burns to the ground. And, that is all I will say on the topic. Film at eleven.
The Jr. Loin Fruit Saga continues...
As you know the Big K headed off to Basic Training at the end of September. In his 7th Week he stretched a ligament in a knee. This has set him back several weeks in his training and required him to be moved from CFB BOREDOM to BFC CHEESE CURDS. He's been there for a week and will be coming home on Saturday for the Christmas Break. In the New Year he will go back and hopefully be able to complete Basic. At this time we don't know when his Trades Course will start. There is also the possibility that he may have to under go surgery to fix the ligament. He will know more tomorrow when he is scheduled for an MRI.

I have been listening to a CBC podcast on Spotify called Someone Knows Something. It's a true crime investigation of cold cases. Missing persons, murders, etc. Pretty interesting and, I hate to say it, addictive. The last one was of a murdered 15 year old girl in Thompson, Mb. Very gripping.

Today is the 83rd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. It is also the day when our Jr Loin Fruit comes home for his Christmas Break. To say we are excited is an understatement. We have been busy, my Lobster and I, wrapping presents, prepping rooms, prepping foods and cleaning the Wayward Inn as if royalty was visiting.

Our Jr. Couch Monkey made it home on the 7th. His flight was delayed coming out of the Pacific Pearl for four hours. On top of that his journey started three hours earlier than it had to because some knucklehead he was sharing a cab with was super paranoid that he would miss his flight. His body is now adjusting to the time change. We are all happy that he's home for the Holidays. It's only for a month so we are enjoying every minute of it.
Yesterday our Sr. Loin Fruit underwent surgery to fix a deviated septum. It's been an issue since he was a kid. It couldn't be corrected until he was at least eighteen. At one point, several years ago, he was slated for surgery but life got in the way. He finally followed up with the ENT specialist had the procedure done. If all went well he'll be back pulling wires in a week.
My Lobster has only two days of work left and then she will be retired from her current job. It's been a long haul but she is looking forward to turning the page and doing some fun stuff. More puzzles, volunteer work, Thai Chi, who knows. I'm happy for her.
The Great Mail Strike of 2024 is still ongoing. We have prepped our Christmas cards but like everyone else in the Great White North nothing is moving. Even letters to Santa. Down Island some ladies in a neighborhood decided that it was very important that the local kids letters to the Jolly Olde Elf were delivered, or at least appeared to have been delivered so they set up a number of Santa's Mail Boxes, kind of like book houses, in their neighborhood. They have been reading and answering the letters as best as they can which I am sure will bring a smile to some little tots and relief to some parents too. Bravo Zulu.
What did you ask Santa for?
On the other side of the globe a dictator's regime has fallen and he has fled the country taking up asylum with another dictator. He was ousted by "rebels", who could be one any of a dozen factions who opposed his regime. It's good to see him gone as he was an extremely evil individual. And, since the new rulers are busy trying to consolidate power while eliminating any remaining leadership a neighbouring country has seized the opportunity to remove any military infrastructure - ships, bases, supply depots, communication suites, etc - that could be used against them in any future engagements. The whole area has been extremely volatile for the past 50 years with no end in sight. Some pundits are saying that this latest dust up could be the start of WWIII. Let's hope that cooler heads prevail.
