Hey, check out Kurofune, top right link on this page. Getting great reviews…if I do say so myself. here is one:
“GREAT BOOK” John, couldn’t put it down. Loved the way you wove in the military, historical and personal aspects of this very important part of WW II. Your descriptions of the battle from a marines prospectus really made me appreciate the sacrifices these young men made. Also really enjoyed the way you interwove the personal stories of the family on Siapan (sic) and Ted Culp, showing the huge and lasting consequence of War on peoples lives. Well done, a must read and I can see a movie coming out of this. Marijke would have been very proud.”
Marijke was my wife. She died 08 December 2017 from cancer.
What is the old saying? “Life is tough but when you are stupid it’s horrendous.” And here in BC we are all stupid in believing the BC government’s Carbon Tax is revenue neutral. What does the average Dude or Dudess on the street say about that:
Say it ain’t so. We are all being neutralized to the tune of over 6 bucks a fill-up for this so called revenue neutral Carbon Tax.. If anyone reads this from another country do not fall for this government “sleight of hand” in your own country less you be defined by your actions as a really stupid electorate. It is a huge fraud!
What do government officials in BC have to say about this discovery?
“Seriously folks. Listen to me Canadians. This Carbon Tax is revenue neutral and will help us save the planet:”
Meanwhile, as heard in the government “Caucus:”
“And then I said…hahahahahah, and this is the best part….that it is….hahahahahahahah….revenue neutral! Can you believe it? hahahahahahah..They fell for it…Hahahaaha..Life is so good when you are me.”
“Oh Jus-ton. You are one ton of Carbon laughs… dude.”
“No David, that is…..hahahahahahah…50 tons man”
Meanwhile, from the unintended consequences file come this (thanks Maggie’s farm):
“Finland Ends its Basic Income Experiment.”
“So what’s the problem?” someone asked
“We couldn’t get anybody to work the programme!”
And from my “I know you were just dying to hear this bit of fluff” file comes this:
“Monkees are having inter-species sex.” Climate Change to Blame.
“We are? News to us. By the way, what is climate change?”
It is getting so bad now that beggars on Victoria’s downtown streets are now asking pedestrians for climate change. Failing that! Bitcoins.
“Life is tough! When you’re stupid it’s horrendous.” I love that quote.
Just too many lies… people. Do not fall for it. Kick these guys and gals out at your next election. Demand common sense policies:
“If it doesn’t make sense then it is nonsense.”
Song of the day: State of Confusion in this Land of Confusion.

Wow, only in the UK. Teenager says selling her virginity online ruined her life, Aleexandra stated. Aleexandra? What sort of name is that? I can see Alexandra but Aleexandra with two e’s. Why? Is that to say she leaks? Or to differentiate herself from Alex? But the “dra” would have done that for sure.
She goes on to say that the sale didn’t occur and that she recovered emotionally through the support of her husband. Yup, she sold her virginity to him and he will be paying for the rest of their married life….a couple of years perhaps in this me,me,me generation we live in….geesh. Her 15 seconds of shame!
Kinder Morgan pipeline? Dead in the water. Do not believe Trudeau and his rhetoric that he supports this and it will be a “go” because it is in our national interest. In France recently he touted that the energy sector in Canada is an embarrassment to the world. One he is personally ashamed of and that he would love to get Canada off of the energy teat as quickly as possible.
So he and Macron have great synergy on this file. Kinder Morgan will soon raise the “white flag” and abandon this venture – a move that the French will applaud as it is a sign of the new “white flag” economy, one that France has much experience with.
Trudeau beamed then asked Macron where the closest Barista “joint” was.
As with solar energy, wind power and other forms of alternative energy like “Beano” or “Pork n Beans,” (forever popular in the Muslim world) the stats on electric / hybrid car sales are pretty poor if not consistent at about 2-3% over the past decade. The environ – mental whackos would have us think differently.
Only in Canada: Child Molesters can change their names to begin a “new” life. Provincial governments approve….disgusting!
I think this is one issue Trudeau could wrap his arms around and sort things out.
“This completely changes everyone’s thinking about how the immune system works – and it solves this problem of telling the difference between invaders and self,” Goodnow told The Australian Financial Review.
What’s so exciting here is that the adaptation essentially represents a new kind of immunity we never knew about.
This finding could pave the way to discovering new vaccines to fight infections like HIV and campylobacter, which hide from our immune systems by effectively mimicking our own biological material.
Campylobacter? What on earth is that? Scary stuff! I’ll never go camping again nor will I ever eat lobster.
“The idea that you could start with a bad antibody and make it good just hasn’t been in anyone’s lexicon.”
Exciting stuff. And what will happen now with this new discovery?….. Nothing!
From the squeamish millennial file comes this:
Supermarkets in the…UK…. are bout to introduce touch free meat products for millennials who are afraid to touch raw meat before cooking it.
They cook?
Scientists have discovered that if we eat less and eat with a balanced diet we can live longer. Only downfall to all of this they found was that we would begin to look like these guys:
“How cute.” A PETA warrior was heard to remark. “Sign me up”
A “Clockwork Orange” anyone
The Cable Non-News Network brought up the “Trump watched prostitutes pee on themselves in Moscow” segment 77 times over a 5 day period. They showed it 48 times on April 13th (Friday???). And this doesn’t reflect a Trump Derangement Syndrome symptom?
This…is…CNN.
Geesh. Where is Edward R Murrow when you need him…. Dead! Just like CNN!
LA and California progressives want books banned – ones they don’t like…like “Winnie the Pooh” as being too racist. White privilege! Remember this:
Nazis burning books they don’t like.
History repeats itself today in Californication.
A headline you’ll never read here in Canada:
South Korean president credits Trump with bringing North Korea to the table. Trump conceivably ends 68 year old cold war.
CNN and the Nobel Peace Prize committee’s response:
Check out Kurofune, my very first crack at writing a novel. Good read I am told – by family and friends. Just click on the link at the top right of this page to get more information.
Remember this? No more winters, no more snow-oh, no more miserable winter row..oads… No more snow days…. damn.
Just kidding suckers!
In reality…..
Got that right buddy…April 2018
Canada, January 108th, 2018 (thxs to SDA)
And here in Mill Bay?
Bear Mountain, 9th green.
Sorry guys east of the Rockies.
But the main point here is nobody can predict what is going to occur weather wise tomorrow let alone 100 years from now. But that is the whole point of this Climate Change fraud. How can you challenge these bizarre predictions of doom and gloom given none of us will be alive in 2100? You can’t and they know it that is why they are getting their way with this nonsense.
To the tune of Alice Coopers “Schools Out”
“No more winters, no more sno..oh. No more bull shit, that the UN blow..oh’s.”
The most dangerous organizational threat to man…oops…peoplekind in an Orwellian manner is the UN. This is their ultimate goal:
Check this out at the 1 minute mark…..our future if we allow for it!
And after all that doom and gloom nonsense. BTW Metropolis was shot in 1927! Unbelievable.
Joke of the day. From a good friend:
“Young lad from Parrsboro, Nova Scotia goes off to University; but halfway through the first semester, he foolishly has squandered all of his money.
He calls home. ‘Dad,’ he says, ‘you won’t believe what modern education is developing. They actually have a program here in Antigonish that could teach our dog “Jiggy” how to talk.’
‘That’s amazing!’ his Dad says ‘How do I get Jiggy in that program?’
‘Just send him in here with $1,200,’ the young lad says, ‘I’ll get him in the course.’
So, his father sends the dog “Jiggy”, and $1,200.
About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The young lad calls home.
‘So how’s Jiggy doing, son?’ his father wants to know.
‘Awesome! Dad, he’s talking up a storm. But you just won’t believe this. They’ve had such good results with talking; they’ve begun to teach the animals how to read … ‘
‘Read?!’ exclaims his father. ‘No kidding! How do we get our Jiggy in that program?’
‘Just send $2,300. I’ll get him in the class for sure.’
The money promptly arrives. But, our hero has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk nor read. So, he shoots the dog.
When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited.
‘Where’s my Jiggy? I just can’t wait to talk with him and see him read something!’
‘Dad,’ the young lad says; ‘I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Jiggy was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Cape Breton Post. Then he suddenly turned to me and asked, ‘So, is your Dad still messing around with that little redhead, working in the bakery at the grocery store?”
The father groans and whispers, ‘I hope you shot that son of a bitch, before he talks to your Mother!’
‘I sure did, Dad!’
‘That’s my boy!’
The son goes on to become a successful lawyer and then a Liberal Member of Parliament.”
According to the UK Press, this is the dish Kate Middleton loves to cook:
Yesss!
Beginning to like her more and more.
Another UK Nugget. Only the Brits could come up with a headline like this one:
It’s a male copper by the way! Love those Brit tabloids.
How’s that Climate Change thingy doing for ya? Remember that Alice Cooper song? No more winters, no more snow!
Toronto Ice Storm (almost May)
From the “It’s always someone else’s fault” file comes this:
With (Canadian) household debt now at a record 171 per cent of average annual disposable income, the country faces the risk of a much worse sort of housing downturn: The kind caused by defaulting borrowers, leading to financially troubled banks, and inevitably, a recession.
But hey, its the government’s fault. Look in the mirror buddy.
For all those Canadians in massive debt here is the “Joke of the week:”
The Jewish Tie Salesman
The Jewish Tie Salesman
A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack – selling ties.
The Taliban terrorist asked, “Do you have water?”
The Jewish man replied, “I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5.”
The Taliban shouted hysterically, “Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an over-priced western adornment. I spit on your ties. I need water!
“Sorry, I have none, just ties – pure silk, and only $5.”
“Pahh! A curse on your ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of you but . . . I must conserve my energy and find water!”
“Okay,” said the little old Jewish man. It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me,*or *that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me infidel. I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant. It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need. Go In Peace.”
Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away, over the hill.
Several hours later, he crawled back, almost dead, and gasped, “They won’t let me in without a tie!
Good one. We need more laughter in our lives…politically correct or not!
Love this!
What will weather patterns look like by the end of the century?
Went sailing yesterday. The forecast. Sunny with cloudy periods, winds light from the NE at 5 knots. What did we get? Cloudy, raining and winds up to 12 knots from the SE.
How do they know? Well they don’t as they can’t even predict the weather tomorrow. And what models do they use in their predictions? Why these of course:
Various methods of predicting and tracking weather have been used for thousands of years, but in recent times weather patterns have become increasingly indicative of climate change. The prediction: a future of extremes, ranging from droughts, heavy rainfall, and extensive heatwaves to longer growing seasons. Here are 20 ways scientists project the weather will change, worldwide, by the end of the 21st century.
Of course, all the usual suspects. And how do they know? They don’t. This climate model would be just as accurate:
It’s going to be foggy out there for sure. Or maybe this:
Or this:
Yup, that’ll do it.

It would seem that Canada has now adopted gender neutral honorifics (Mister, Miss. Missus) to appease less that 1% of the population. I am a Canadian but I am now embarrassed to state as such with this madness.
Hmmm, Which one should I use?
“What am I anyway? Am I a man? Oops can’t say that in Canada. Okay, am I a woman? Ooops can’t say that either. But I have to go. Shit happens you know and it doesn’t discriminate. Shit stinks whether you are a people (man) or a wo-people (woman).
“Sorry, but before you can go you have to tell us what you are. Are you a hey, a zey, a zir, a zee, a zitch, a bitch, a mitch or a titz? What is it?” a Service Canada spokesperson demanded before they would provide the key to the washroom. “Oh I know” I said. “I am a Neanderthal so I’ll just go right here. After all divershity is my strength.” And the pants, or skirt (can’t say that) came down right there and then as a large load came onto the floor.
“Hey” a spokes-people (spokesman) yelled, while looking at the pile of shit that was now on the floor of the orifice. “You have to say skants, as pants or skirt is too gender specific and is forbidden to say while in our orifices”
Okay, so when do I get my pension cheque anyway?” and by the way, can I refer to you as an ass-hole. That is gender neutral as we all have one don’t we?” the client smirked as he left the government orifice (can’t say office in Canada as it could be construed as gender specific). Everyone has an orifice now don’t they?
MADNESS! I WAN’T MY COUNTRY BACK….NOW!
Joke of the year: Russian presidential erections. Putin wins again. Of course he does. He is president for life. Anything else is just distraction.
And this just in:
It’s time to “warrior up,” stop polluting the planet and give water the same rights and protections as human beings. That’s the message Autumn Peltier, a 13-year-old Canadian, delivered personally to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday. I am sure Service Canada will soon take this to heart!
“Many people don’t think water is alive or has a spirit,” she told the diplomats gathered in New York City in her speech on World Water Day. “My people believe this to be true.” “So do I. Water and Crown Royal is a really good mix. And, if you looked at water under a microscope you would never drink it again…ever!
“Our water deserves to be treated as human with human rights. We need to acknowledge our waters with personhood (you mean people-hood) so we can protect our waters,” Peltier said, her five-foot frame standing on a stool (??) behind the podium so she could reach the microphone. When your people start to do something about this, maybe I will begin to take you seriously.
I hate it when adults use children to push their activist agendas.
From the – it’s someone else’s fault file comes this (italics mine):
Deeply lamenting the loss of young Mark Anthony Conditt, (The Austin Bomber) the precocious (I’ll say) yet thoughtful go-getter with a penchant for politics (and bombs) city officials confirmed Thursday that the true Austin bomber was everyone who failed this sensitive, promising kid (really?). “What our investigation is attempting to determine is this: Who’s the real terrorist here? And all the evidence points to it being everyone who refused to recognize the brilliance existing deep inside this sensitive, socially concerned young man,”(so I’ll take it out on society as a whole and blow the shit out of them – so there!) said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley at a press conference, during which officials distributed a report listing multiple instances of the greater Austin community failing to nurture the vision and talent of the budding young (explosive) genius, an oversight at least as dangerous as the series of bombs that left two dead and several others injured last week. (Oversights do not kill people – people kill people). Everything we learned from his neighbors indicates that this undeniably special young man displayed all the classic signs of someone out to make his mark on this world (which he did in rather grand fashion) and that we did nothing to protect his future (or ours) is the biggest tragedy we’ve had in Texas for a long time (are you kidding me?). And the worst part is that we are, all of us, to blame for his loss.” (no we’re not). Manley refused to take questions, instead urging the people of Austin to question themselves after taking a long, hard look in the mirror. (“So put that in your pipe bomb and smoke it.”). The children are our future. Can’t wait)………………………Geeesh
Another shooting in France? Sad.
Just another misunderstood youth eh Manly (see Austin above)? It’s our fault. We didn’t look in the mirror as it was cracked. Quick, bring out the piano. Je suis Imagine!
Love this current liberal hypocrisy wrt their Canadian summer jobs program:
“To be eligible [for a grant], the core mandate of the organization must respect individual human rights in Canada, including the values underlying the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well as other rights. These include reproductive rights (pro-lifers need not apply)and the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex, (which one?) religion,(Christians need not apply) race (as long as you’re not white), national or ethnic origin (older Canadians need not apply), colour,(colour blind?) mental or physical disability (I can’t work isn’t an excuse for this grant), sexual orientation (which one?) or gender identity or expression – (Zir, Zey, Zitch, Bitch, Hey, Jay).
I can honestly say that I never, ever got a summer job through any Canadian government sponsored job placement program.
The start of my 900 Km trek, 01 August
Meanwhile, as heard in the government “Caucus:”
“We are? News to us. By the way, what is climate change?”
