We don't have many traditions in the west but Halloween is one along with and Christmas and Thanksgiving. Last year I made a satirical post claiming
Israel dropped candies on Gaza for the children. Can you imagine if that was true? Can you imagine what a different reaction they would get from their neighbours?
Instead they dropped bombs and all those children have been suffering for an entire year.
That punitive cruelty diminishes all of us.
Today at work we updated our United Way payroll deduction. This time I requested that my donations go to a specific cause - the Canadian Red Cross.
That's one way to donate to Gaza without the criminals stealing it. I always thought if I ever served another mission it would be with the Red Cross. That's one organization
I see as completely sincere.
Meanwhile back on the ranch we had fun in my crib. Lots of kids.
That's what it's all about.
I think you will find this CBC article interesting:

How can a high profile murder suspect escape federal custody? Also, how does Wheels hide? It is not like it is easy to get around in a chair.
Not federal. It was pre trial
DeleteGood point. Robby's escape was fishy as f*ck. Why would they break him out and not Larry. Doesn't make sense and as you say, how does a guy in a wheelchair hide. Maybe they teamed up with Jamie Bacon in the program.

Boom,Boom ! I miss blowing up my pumpkins from my garden after Halloween. Being firecrackers n barebangers are illegal now , I started putting the squash out front for kids too( kick me written on them)....they never lasted past day 2 .I'm sure they all had a hoot
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean bearbangers are illegal? In the city? You can still buy them for hiking can't you? You can buy fireworks in other jurisdictions still. When I was a kid we'd just stomp on screechers and flatten them out. That made them explode like a fire cracker. There are sure a lot of fireworks on Diwali in Surrey and a lot of firecrackers on the Lunar New Year.
