November 10, 2008

Saskatoon: Gerald and Doreen are over their colds and out meeting people as they encounter folks from their community at every turn. Gerald tells us a good story about a lady and her dog. He is happy to see the end of political ads but is still ticked off with Trudeau over the metric system.

- Of gloves and snow shovels, winter's here
- Thursday
November 13, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This morning the van was covered with frozen snow and I was forced to put on my gloves for the first time, knowing full well that each time I emerge from the house I will wear them until March or April brings some signs of spring. Less industrious than many of my neighbours I still haven't position the snow shovel near the door but this is yet another thing I will have to do. You see, no matter how much denial I indulge in winter is definitely here.

- Obamanisation, to make a more perfect union and yes we canism
- Friday
November 14, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Like so many I was riveted by the television spectacle of the American presidential election. I was moved to see Jesse Jackson with tears streaming down his cheeks and listen to the president-elect declare that Americans must work together to bring about a more perfect union then chant "yes we can." God bless Americans and their enthusiasm to become civilised but the reality is that the United States his hardly a model of democracy and trails far behind almost every other developed country in the way it serves its people.
