Democracy in Trouble -

– “Politix As Usual” Romanian Style? ‘Coming Soon’ to a street corner near you? –

 

— I almost missed the above tweet – I’ve been avoiding Twitter and Facebook lately – && ***! – The European Union is instituting some strong Data Privacy legislation. – We probably need to do that here, too –

– 7:27 pm Web Cam Shot –

 

— Um, with all the political sleight of hand going on lately – I’m pretty much in the same boat with everybody else – I get a nightly “WTF?” reaction to the network news political reporters. …

 

— I started writing this ‘post’ to tell you about my latest possible insight into the Donald J Trump – Kim Jong-un circus. —> I can’t be 1,000% certain that I got this right, but it occurred to me that Kim Jong-un probably seemed a little too happy to announce the ‘denuclearization’ of Korea. — It hit me like a flash of lightning that he probably believed that his sabre-rattling tactics had won him a very clear { in his mind } victory and South Korea would ‘behave itself’ and not allow the big bad Amerikans to point their nuclear weapons at North Korea ever again. – I’m thinking that the Chinese probably guessed that he believed this and set him straight, saying, “No – if you go along with this – Donald Trump wins and you will have to give up all your nuclear ambitions and hand over all your nuclear weapons and allow United Nations inspectors free reign over all your future research.”

 

— Like I said, I can’t claim this is the pure Gospel Truth from the vocal chords of God Himself { or Herself } but it felt like a divine flash of insight when it occurred to me.

May Day, 2018 & “The Great White North” – isn’t as white (as in snow-covered) as it was last week-

Tuesday, May 1st, 2018  —>  +7˚C / +44˚F & ‘overcast’ in Atlantic Canada @ 12:34 pm —> on Rosalie { Née “Short” } and Sharon { Née “Woods” } -es Birthday 🙂 —

- Cathi's Outdoor Zen Corner.

– In the last couple years, this corner of our lot kept its snow until Mothers’ Day – This morning it was almost all gone already –

— Cathi’s outdoor ‘Zen Corner’ where last week we were happy to see just a little hint of the top of that square outdoor fireplace peeking above the remaining snow pack back there. I think the snow will probably be all gone before tomorrow morning.

Snow pack last week.

– This was at Sunrise last Monday, April 23rd – { Cousin Debra Ann -Née Austin-‘s Birthday } –

— & In case you haven’t noticed { Or if you live in the USA where too many weather maps don’t believe there’s anything north of your border – } the St John River through New Brunswick is approaching record High flood levels – They expect we may exceed 2008’s high water mark and come close to 1973’s. I think 1973 was the all time record – although I think an earlier flood took out a bridge from the south to the north side of Fredericton in the 1930’s (?) – The stone support things are still there and were almost covered in water the last time we drove anywhere near the river –

— Shrug —

— Enjoy whatever comes your way – Cathi said she read some horoscope stuff that looks very optimistic for the month of May 🙂 —

— xoxoxo —,
