Good morning sweet Soo! Good morning Bounder!
All is well out in third line west. My spouse and step kids spent a hectic eve packing for their trip to London to support her sister and her husband who is suffering from ALS. May the snow gods show mercy and the boys of I-75 be on top of their game. I tried to convince her to take the suv, it is equipped with studded snows but they are illegal in Michigan. I don't buy gas in the US but have been guilty of ignoring their highway laws when the roads are snow packed and icy. Thing is if the customs area is bare, sneaking up on them is nigh impossible. The sound is like cats claws sliding down a tin roof. I have told her to plead ignorance and give it a shot (catlick upbringing) but she's a good Baptist girl so it's the soccer Mom van with all seasonal's and a quick stop in to see Status for a quick once over.
Besides I am trying to think like her - Let's see a quick pit stop at Costco and a swing over to Ikea. No brainer. Seven passenger soccer mom van of course and you dummy it has a bigger gas tank, jeez why didn't I think of that. I will look after the home front, still attached to the umbilical chord at the SAH. Special heart felt thanks for my neighbour down the street who comes down on his open air tractor to blow my driveway when I'm up at the Barn. And more beautiful friends who have temporarily taken my brace of maltese sled dogs into their home while I focus on what's in front of me interspersed with naps. Let's have atter!

Good Morning Skipper Dave and all the sleepy heads
Skipper I pray to the highway god's all the time. My son travels from Sudbury every second Friday to the Soo area to pick up his girls and turns right around and goes right back to Sudbury to have his weekend with them ,then two days later, he makes the same trip to return them to their mom.. he does this every second weekend without fail. I am very proud of his commitment but it is hard on the nerves.
I must say .. I am a bit jealous of your sweety going to Costco and Ikea.. hope she loads up the soccor mom van
Have a great Friday everyone

It would be great if all these tax increases were going to actually make a difference in the U.S. financial struggles but the way the spending is out of control it won't do squat.
Sad, but it does make the persecutors of the "rich" feel better I suppose.
Forget sad it's pathetic.

You nailed it, rw.
Without DEEP spending cuts, the US is, um, f___ed!
Therefore, barring some unexpected sea change in the Dems way of thinking, with Obie Hope and Changey at the helm, the US is, um, royaly f___ed!
The "tax the rich" thing plays well with the masses, but does not affect the bottom line. Rather it's nothing but window dressing playing on emotions, which is all the lefty politicians usually care about.
As long as it "feels good", that's what counts to them.
Poor friggin' America.

Golly. Another politico stepped in it today.
This time it's Jim Flaherty - lending his name and cred to an FM station application in his home riding.
Come now.
He's a hack. Small timer in a big boy world.
Notwithstanding the fact that he's screwed up in both federal and provincial politics that boyo is bullet-proof.
The PM will bail him out. He'll soon join the Rob Ford flatulent farm and take a golden parachute to an adviser's job somewhere.
He doesn't even do graft well.

Went out to clear the 120' of driveway.
Hopped on riding snowblower and drove out of garage. Engaged the impeller..belt jumped off pulley and tangled itself in the innards of the snowblower. Why does it only do this if it sees a big amount of snow ahead of it. Naturally every shop that could fix it is backed up to February. I shall go out and kick it and swear at it...maybe it will fix itself

WHAT A JOKE
Hayes had nothing to do with the sub-contract China Steel got...hell they are 3 companies removed. How the hell can hayes take credit for that?? While his party's cut backs lead to the losing of over 500,000 names and personal information and Hayes lets dozens of well paying federal jobs leave this community. What an ass!!

Jimbo Flaherty should have taken lessons on corruption from former New Orleans' mayor Ray Nagin.
He was the mayor during Hurricane Katrina and the clean-up.
He was indicted today on 30 counts of corruption.Lovely.
Go big or go home Jimmy.
Sheesh...

the comparison is good, except that, in the US, the government actually gets to prosecute the crooks.

Forget Jim Flaherty. It appears that obummers' VP put both of his feet in his pearly white yap claiming that he was golfing near the Amish school shooting a few years back. He said he clearly heard the shots although the golf club has no record of him being there and it is situated 5 miles away from the school. Poor Biden-senility is truly a bitch kitty.

Best to always keep a spare belt or two...If they have to come out, it takes less time for the snow to melt than for them to actually make it out...
