Good Morning. It’s a cloudy, snowy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. These specialists called for snow with high winds overnight, but it didn’t amount to anything. Today however could be a different story. We will have to see as the day moves forward. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -3.6 C | 25.52 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is right now. Highway 522 is bare at the moment, with a few icy sections throughout.
On another note, my wife and I went to town yesterday to pick up a few things in the grocery department. Other than a bit of wind, we had a great trip there and back. It’s good to get away now and then. But in saying that, it is getting expensive with the price of gas these days. Yesterday we paid 1.65 a litre, and they say if things keep going as they are now we could reach the 2.00 mark. I am thinking it is going to make it real hard for folks to travel this summer. But we will see. If people stop travelling, these huge corporations will eventually have to drop their price. They hate to lose money.
Another thing is all this environmental stuff. Going green is fine, but if you don’t have the resources to back things up, what have you got? More hardships, that’s what.
It’s fine for these folks to say we have to go green, we have to do that, we have to do this … but when all said and done nothing really gets done. Other than a whole mess of idle chatter, along with taking more money out of the working man’s pocket. And with the price of food and things right now, it isn’t looking all that good in that department neither. A lot of folks are hurting real bad with business’s closing down and folks out of work. And another thing is, Canada has shown its true colours over the past two years, and other countries are now seeing what we are really about. Which isn’t all that good.
Anyway, enough of all that. One has to do what they have to do and get on with their life. There is no way in fighting these so-called Powers that Be. They have had their way for centuries, and I don’t suspect things will change no matter what we do.
With that, I am off for a boiled egg with a couple slices of bacon that my lovely wife is preparing for me. Have a great day.
