Why does the Russian Navy build all its new ships with glass bottoms?

So it can see the old Russian Navy.

People sometimes wonder about the meaning of the “Z” in the current Russian wartime invasion of Ukraine.

It’s simple.

And you thought bait-and-switch was a sales tactic for homes and cars. But no, it applies to groceries too.

A case in point. I purchased these chocolate covered almonds a month ago for $5.99, which was a little rich for me but holy smokes they’re good. Then, for three days last week, they went on sale for $3.99.

It was absolutely brutal last night, but the opening ceremonies for the Ontario Winter Games went off without a hitch at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Thursday night, February 2.

Full credit to everyone involved, including athletes, speakers, hosts, singers, and choirs. Because last night, especially with the wind, was one of the coldest nights I can remember.

Action shot of me and Dolly! Funny how she’ll sit dead centre in the back looking forward like that. All she’s missing is the seatbelt.

She’s become a legitimate car dog now, in that she spends more time in the car than years past. Back in Papa George’s day, she spent all kinds of time in the car. She tolerates it well, other than those puking episodes and that one defecation.

Oh well, it’s the only way I can leave the house without her raising holy murder.

Where’s a banana peel when you need one? When Tucker Carlson was born, the doctor should have slapped his mother.

I’m sorry to his many fans, because I know he has a lot, but honestly, I think this guy’s dangerous in the damage he causes to trust in the democratic system.

To me, he seems to be the Jon Stewart of the right, intentionally or not I don’t know.

His widely popular show, which is almost exclusively political, is not classified as a news show, but rather an “entertainment” show, one of several that appear on FOX. Similar to Stewart, who ran The Daily Show as a virtual soap box while on Comedy Central.

His hatred for Stewart is right there on the surface, probably going all the way back to that CNN CROSSFIRE show where Stewart ridiculed Carlson in several exchanges that went viral. For the record, Stewart has no love for Carlson either.

But I don’t remember anyone in the media influencing public thinking the way Tucker Carlson has.

Is he an entertainer? A provocateur? A blue ribbon shit disturber? He seems to agitate a lot of people, many already agitated, so maybe he’s an agitator.

But he agitates toward anger. Toward outrage. People act upon that agitation. I don’t like the thought of worked-up people acting on anger.

So, this bag of chips has cost exactly $1.00 for at least a month. Today I show up and they’re going for $1.49 unless you bought three or more, in which case you’d pay $1.39 a bag.

Terrific.

I’ve always liked these photos, taken in the same session, late in her life. A tragic end to someone whom I’ve grown to respect for her talent, her intelligence, and personal nature.

So, it’s happened again, and again I haven’t the words to make sense of it.

Stacia was in my class for her Grade 7 year back in 1995-96. Rambunctious as all giddy-up and as funny as they come.

My thoughts are with parents Tom and Cathy as well as sisters Kathleen, Anne, and Mary. And to her little boy and all her many friends, my most profound condolences and best wishes.

So, you’re resentful of increases in immigration, because you feel these people come here and take jobs from “Canadians.” You’re afraid some are hell-bent on turning Canada into a reflection of themselves.

You’re sick and tired of cultural diversity and the “woke-ism” that’s popped up everywhere.
