Bunkey

And here ya thought we was all equal eh Bunkey. Yep hospital board members are when it comes to gettin the pig flu shot,the rich and the feckless are , no lining up with the common herd for them, NHL hokey players are and maybe they have a case when ya see them blowing the snot out of their nostrils on camera. Ta hell with the preggies and the rug rats eh. I'm all right,Jack. Equality? Bah Humbug!!

Trawna is such a city of losers that they think that getting the Pan Am games makes em a winner.

And here ya thought farmers and the rest of us rural folks go around bumpin off each other in big numbers with long guns like certain of them city folks do with their unregistered handguns ,eh Bunkey. Well it t'aint so! And now them Cons,Libs and Dippers finally figured that one out.

And here ya thought that brainin folks on the ice is manly and part of da game ,eh Bunkey .Well you wait till there is a couple of killins on that venue some night and see what happens. I can see the civil suits.

The Lost Symbol

The Lost Symbol like the other two books by Dan Brown that I have read sticks to his by now boring formula. The professor of symbology flies off to Paris ,Rome Washington this time and in due course meets a beautiful and brainy chick who ends up in peril from a sadistic villain till rescued by professor. Twists and turns in the plot are thrown in with some red herrings.Along the way interesting facts and theories are also tossed out there to intrigue the reader.

Washington will probably benefit from tourists visiting all the sites mentioned in The Lost Symbol.I don't think the Masons should worry about their treatment in the book. Opus Dei came off a lot worse in another of his books.

A fact mentioned in the Lost Symbol that I found fascinating is that the human spine has 33 vertebrae in a ladder like ascent to the brain which is the repository of our mind.Could this be the reason why Mason's attach importance to the number 33 as in the highest degree of achievement in Masonry being the 33rd Degree Another thing,in the Bible when God created Adam in his image Brown thinks that it was not God's physical image that was meant but that it was God's mind image. Plausible giving the known untapped potential of the human mind.

Googling various things that I came upon in reading Brown's latest opus led me down a path strewn with some fascinating ,some plausible and some screwy theories.

Fun stuff.

Update

I love this poem and what true Canadian wouldn't:

It's winter in Canada And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.
Oh, how I love Canada
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Canada

I'm frozen to the friggin' ground!

The fireplace arrived already assembled and it also came by courier,a very pleasant surprise. After I unboxed it the driver helped me bring it into our unit .That was kind of him.

Now that things in my life have settled down I am going to return to my fitness regime which I have had to neglect.Maybe in a month or so a svelte GFB will emerge lol.

The wife and I took advantage of the nice sunny Sunday to finish cleaning up our flower garden and to cover "rhoda" and place a wooden shelter over her on account of the above mentioned winds we sometime get here in the winter.

I just finished reading the Lost Symbol. Maybe I will write a review of it but right now I have to get out on the trail

She's Back

I havent opened up Blogger for a few days and what a pleasant surprise it was to see Kay back in action. Wahooo!!

Got an email Friday that the fireplace has been shipped and now just waiting for a call from Kingsway to arrange a drop off time.Because the beast weighs in at 120LBs it must come by them instead of Purolator. Also the shipment must be opened and inspected for damage at time of delivery before I sign the delivery receipt. Holding up the driver whilst doing this should be tense...lol.

I read an issue of Cosmopolitan today. Yes guys Cosmo. The issue was dated dated 1898. Inside was a breathless account of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany's court with pictures. Kaiser Willy was one of the perps of World WarI. There were short stories appealing to the ladies. There was an article about a cartridge factory,US Army cavalry gathering at the old Civil War battlefield of Chickamauga prior to leaving for Cuba. The ads in the back had no auto companies in them since the auto was not common yet. Interestingly there was an ad for weight loss pills made by the Hall Chemical Co of St.Louis MO. and an ad for wrinkle removers. Nothing new under the sun ,eh lol.

With number three son here I was taken out Friday evening with a bunch of family for a belated Fathers Day and birthday dinner. The upshot was I got to wear a funny birthday topper and a big slice of delicious free double chocolate cake all the while serenaded by the staff and the customers with happy birthday to you. Lotsa laughter.

Whats wrong with the Leafs? Nothin that a winning streak wont cure. Will that happen? Yes it will just after shrimps learning to whistle.
