Good morning all, from the beautiful sunny West coast of Canada.
I think today I will give the grass its final cut for the year and that will also vapourize the few remaning leaves that have fallen.
The kid got a call last night for a spot on an upcoming episode of "Once Upon A Time". He thinks he will turn it down as it is right in the middle of exams and he takes his education very seriously. It is too bad as pay is good for the actual amount of work involved. He enjoys doing it as well, but has zero ambitions as far as doing it for a living. They may see if they can work around his exams, they were flexable when they wanted him for X-Men, so we will see.
I think the whole world is holding its collective breath as far as the U.S. election is concerned. It makes one shake their head to think that out of a country of over three hundred million people, those two were the best that you could get to run for the office.
Of course that is often the case in most countries from time to time, including Canada.
Chief, sorry to hear about your friends unfortunate passing. Was he in the U.S. at University on a sports scholarship? We have a few friends that attend U.S. schools on sports scholarships. It is the only way they could afford to attend University in the U.S. My Daughter is going to go into medicine (Neurosurgeon) and my son wants a Law degree with a business minor. The tuition will be about $7,000.00 a year each. With scholarships even that will drop considerably. Like most 1st world countries Canada will hopefully get down to free tuition for post secondary education at some point.
Have a great day all. This is one day most of us will want to be done with.
