All around disappointing. Neither they nor we can gain from an across the border feud. Stupid.

I think what is being labeled as socialism is really just ridiculous levels of inflation.

I really hope it happens.

Lucy tells Charlie Brown that she’ll hold the football. Come kick it. He says no you won’t, you’ll pull it away. She assures him she wouldn’t do that. So Charlie takes her at her word and does a running charge at the ball. He gets close. Lucy pulls it away at the last second. Flying thru the air, Charlie Brown goes “Aaaugh!”
Thus also goes any promise to fix a year-round time - standard or dst.
“Aaaugh!”

Poutine

Went to Quebec this summer. Loved it. Had poutine - am no big fan of that now but glad I at least tried it. Dual Canada/US citizenship gives the benefit of a gargantuan geographic region to disappear off the grid into, if so needed or desired.

Detective/spy genre works great. There are tons of book series that are out with multiple stories and proven interesting.

Right! I love Slow Horses and can’t wait for next season. Another great series is on AMC+ called Dark Winds and is based on Hillerman’s Navajo cop settings. Right now has 4 seasons. Season 5 comes out in 2027. 28 books total.

It’s “the beautiful game,” and for most of my adult life I’ve been patiently informed, usually by someone who calls it fútbol, that I simply lack the sophistication to appreciate it.

This is the one really real accurate statement. IMHO, there is so much blatantly elitist “futbol snobbery” amongst the self-styled sophisticates, it turns my stomach. It is my notion that especially European futbollers would self-destruct if Americans ever embrace “their” sport. Hordes of American soccer/futbol fans would be one of their two worst nightmares. The other would be Team USA winning the WC.
