Hello folks
I had forgotten about this blog since last year, hence no postings.
It is now the end of May 2010. I'm at the Honda dealer waiting for an emmision test on my 2003 Accord. It has been a great car and I plan on keeping it until either it or I expire. I suspect I'll be the first to go.
Otherwise I'm still doing the same thing as last year. Nothing much has changed.
It seems to me that some bad things are happening in the world although not to me. I, for one, will be glad to see Canadian soldiers out of Afghanistan next year and I gather the British government is considering pulling out too. Why not let the Afghans just settle things themselves and the last one standing can turn off the lights.
They are not ready for democracy as we know it and probably don't want it anyway. The same can be said for most of the countries in the middle east and elsewhere that are Muslim. At one time centuries ago Islam was a centre of knowledge when the west was recovering from the collapse of the Roman Empire. Since then they regressed into religious totalitarianism. That's fine with me as long as they keep it out of Europe and the Americas.
That's it for now. Bye for now and if I sound bigotted maybe I am or maybe I'm just realistic.
