To thine own self be true

The two women with their supportive dogs who claim they suffered great hardships at sea.
*We have to give Trump some credit for popularizing the term; it exists and has long existed. There are no shortage of cases where stories are ‘created’ and spun to draw attention to egos and agendas.

Apparently not, says Supreme Court today. Fed mountain development overrides tribal protest. Buckaroos override indigenous. A test case for sure.

Get more heated trailers in along the border for the continuing border crossings.

will go to those who can read and write well. People who actually know something about basically important stuff, who have common sense, who can critically think, and work on their own to get the crucial communications work done will be the most invaluable employees. Keyboarding, computer and IT skills as well as depth of pc-kowtowing will not, by themselves alone, be enough to lead to these jobs automatically. No, the most old-school literates, especially those who are imaginative and creative, will rise to the top and get the best jobs in government and many organizations.

This is not Vancouver. This is a winter city of cruel, harsh proportions, Canada’s northernmost burgh.
“[For snow clearing] the bike grid downtown has become a top priority.”
Totally out to lunch. More taxpayer millions siphoned off each year to pay for snow removal and repainting of lines in this bike boondoggle designed for less than 2% resident use from Oct.. to April.

City council has declared war on vehicle drivers beginning with these unnecessary, wasteful lanes, extending the war to tearing up many roads throughout the city this year without a sense of how this will affect traffic flow for years. The 30 km zones just added will bring winter traffic to gridlock. Next the city will spend more millions on signs reducing traffic in suburbia to 30 km everywhere. Absolutely nuts. It’s not drivers who are to blame for council’s ‘woes’; it is council itself in these major follies dooming one and all in what used to be a reasonably functioning city roadwise. No common sense and enormous waste of funds that could have been spent on truly worthwhile projects languishing elsewhere.

Officials researching what caused the NY terror attack on Halloween. Uh, terrorism.
Officials examining the Vegas shooter’s brain to find answers for his attack. Uh, he was crazy.
The failure to call the Edmonton terrorist a terrorist. Uh, he had an ISIL flag in his truck.
Like, Doh.
Searching for “an answer” or motivation in clear-cut cases is typical of our dumb, distracted society. Common sense and acceptance of common sense facts don’t live here anymore.

In AB, the Daylight Savings Time boondoggle which finally came to nothing. Killed several months and caused a lot of hand-wringing amongst Albertans who still have that precious commodity: common sense.

some imbibers will detect on a small number of 2017 vintages from Napa Valley. Fortunately, 90% of the crop had been harvested by the time the fires started up. The Napa Valley region is back and open BTW.
