As always there are/ will be a few stirrers,a few looney tunes and a few manipulative wealthy folk doing the agitating to make the issues so heated.if you took away social media trolls and ti foil hatters things would die down quickly. I'm not saying there aren't serious issues.but going to war against your fellow countrymen is very very unlikely to solve them at anything like an acceptable price. Just look to Ukraine right now to get an idea...that's putting families against each other and I'm stuffed if can see it ending well anytime soon.

We, both Americans and Canadians, can't vote in our best interest. Too paralyzed to make a choice beyond what we always done.

The likelihood of a revolution, of any type, in my opinion is somewhere close to 0%.

But that is enough politics for me.

PS like I said same same. Anything you say becomes a threat. Stay tuned...

Vince, it's hot here north of Toronto. How are things with you and the family?

Gidday Ron…family is doing well thanks mate. My 96 year old Mother-In-Law recently spent a week in hospital with horrendous arthritic pain down one side of her body, it she is doing ok now. Tricia is run off her backside looking after her Mum and our youngest daughter has decided a three week holiday in Amsterdam and Germany is in order, so she has jetted off again. I’m surviving, although the cold weather we have here, and it’s bloody cold getting below 0°C in many places, is reaping havoc on my arthritis.

Vince…Deb says “HI”. and how’s your “Better Half” ?

Hi Deb…how is life treating you? SWMBO (Tricia) is doing well thanks, although she’s run off her backside looking after her 96 year old Mum. The cold weather is getting to all three of us with a very cold snap bringing frost even to the tropics. Our 34 year old decided to “escape” to the warmer weather in Europe (Amsterdam and Germany) for three weeks…smart move. I’m surprised we haven’t had snow just South of us, but along with the cold weather has come a very dry period. Time to “moisten” things up a bit with a wee dram of Scotch methinks.

Dimitri makes a very good point as does Elvis. I have missed the sanity of the nut.
