Only 57 more sleeps until Vezelay and the “Way of Saint James” walk.
Can’t wait.
Also, check out my Kurofune web site. Just click on the link at the top right of the page. Getting good reviews. My first book.
Good to be back. Needed the break. It can be difficult to come up with things 5 days a week. But then again I have to thank Trump, Turdeau and Who Flung Poo of North Korea fame. They are indeed the gifts that keep on giving to bloggers like me.
Spent just over two weeks in Toronto, affectionately known as the “Big Smoke.” I don’t know how anyone could live there. Imagine doing this every day:
Everyday. And you know what? They are proud of their gridlock. Makes them a world class city as they would say. Torontonians have a huge inferiority complex. Always comparing themselves with New Yorkers. Here is Time’s Square in New York:
as opposed to Dundas Square in Toronto:
Ah no T.O. No comparison. Or their shitty subway system? Not world class. Prague or Budapest’s Russian era subway system is way better.
T.O.’s
Budapest.
Prague
Or how about this:
London
No comparison Toronto.
Even the Leafs can’t cut it. Out in the first round. What is the old joke?:
The last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup I was in diapers. The next time they win it I’ll probably be in diapers again.
Or how about this for originality:
Taken from:
Right down to the water.
Naw, you can have Toronto, Torontonians. But remember
Did another 22 Km yesterday. Not hurting as much but I am still a tad worried. You would think that after months of walking I would be immune to this but nooo, it still hurts. Perhaps being 66 and crazy may have something to do with it.
Vezelay France hereI come:
French crop circles!
An Ontario girl from Essex District High School, near Windsor Ontario has been suspended for protesting the school’s dress code, after she says several of her friends were sent home or told to change because their bra straps were showing.
“We’re an all inclusive high school” the principal commented. “The boys were also told to go home and change because their “jock straps” were showing. So the girls were also shown the bathroom door”
“Hey, I thought there wasn’t any difference between the boys and girls”
An uproar ensued at the school. A lockdown was ordered and the cops were called. In their best Southern Ontario drawl they, the Cops, commented:
“Hey bra, what’s an Ontario anyway? We gotta get those female sunnamabitches before real trouble starts. You hear me Jacques?”
After just hours of assuming his new role as Ambassador to Germany Richard Grennel is in the German poo for comments he made to German and European businessmen. Merkel wasn’t amused. “He must understand the German and European position on cucumbers. Zay must be straight as an arrow. They cannot be bent. Ve cannot tolerate such madness, such rudeness. Same with cauliflower. Zay must be white and perfectly round. Aryan!” She then left for another meeting of her minds in the German Reichstag or Parliament. Their Leader-house was in an uproar over this latest diplomatic crisis.
“Prost”
Mutti’s “Caucus” was also in a tizzy over Grennel’s comments:
“Ve are not amused.” The German foreign minister stated:
The German’s over reaction about this latest political faux-pas can be traced back to their reaction when Trump won the Presidency:

Trump Derangement Syndrome in spades.
Columbia’s Military …on drugs
Soon to be coming to the Canadian military. Notice the transgendered Officer on the left in his white dress?
This Latest Headline: How does the British Royal family make their money? They don’t have real jobs so where does their money come from?
Notice their laughin faces and smirks. Guess?
Liberal hypocrisy knows no limits:
Canada bans tanker traffic off the west coast. What about the east coast? Nope. Trudeau is doing all that he can do the alienate the west. Next on his list. Oil and gas exploration, development and extraction will be banned in all of Canada. Barista joints on every street corner. Keep the electorate stoned and they will be happy hence the legalization of pot this July 1st. Canada Day will now be changed to Cannabis Day. Fitting!
I want my country back.
Alberta woman’s tirade in a restaurant shows that Canada is really racist. This coming from the Toronto “Red” Star newspaper. The hidden subliminal message in the article is that Alberta…westerners…are all racist. But we here in the east, and especially Toronto – the centre of the universe – we (they) are not racist. We (they) are the elite. This in a city where Catholics were once banned from all positions of authority: be it in government, the police force, anything. Don’t kid yourself if you are not of progressive thought, of the liberal mindset, you are not welcome in this city. Bullies all of them, especially the SOBs – South Of Bloor shysters. It is all subliminal racism. At least in the west if they are racially prone (and I am not) they are open about it.
Cats all of them!
That’s my rant for today.
Song of the day: “like a watercolour in the rain!”
Probably one of the most perfect tunes of all time. It has everything in it.
Going for another 22 Km walk today. I have to get my feet back into shape. I should never have taken that break.
This will keep me motivated though:
Smokey and the Bandit: Seems an Ontario Canada woman gets busted in Georgia for speeding and driving with an Ontario Licence. Say what? Are you kidding me? The Officer, as shown, wondered what was / is an Ontario anyway.
“An illegal Canadian alien or just a bunch of “sunnamabitches” me thinks. Build that gawd damned wall for cripes sake.” The look in that other guys eyes says it all. $850 buck fine and a month in jail awaiting a court appearance. You would think that these guys had better things to do. Wait until Canada legalizes “smoke” and people drive through Georgia stoned. “Georgia’s out of their cotton pickin minds those sunnamabitches!” These guys are going to have a field day.
Trump axes Iranian nuclear deal. States that Iran cannot be trusted. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahoo agrees. European leaders go ballistic. Iran promises to cut off the Hashish supply right away. “We will cut off the hands that feed them dogs” the Eiya-told-you-so remarked. “literally, not figuratively:”
Smokey was not amused.
“You go and get them I-ruin-ian sunnamabitches. Ya hear me boy?”
They say that Trump’s stance on Iran will cause oil and gas prices to rise. Oh really. And they wouldn’t have risen otherwise? Just all a bunch of:
The oil patch kids. Then again what would you rather have? This:
or this:
. Sunrise over the Middle East.
And the nuclear reaction to all of this rhetoric?
“Au revoir a demain!” French Diplomatic language! Translation: “Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. Or “how I love the smell of radiation in the morning”
What else is going on? Just another boring day in the Iranian Parliament:
Death to all American infidels! Question Period must be a riot!
Disney’s new fantastical progressive onslaught movie “A Wrinkle in Time” bombs in Iran. “Once they heard Oprah was in it they went nuclear” a Disney spokesperson admitted. Oh and it’s Trumps fault.”
A Conservative based ad:
“Have a Burrito. mmmm mmmm good. And healthy too”
A Progressive Left Wing ad for the same thing:
Thanks to SDA. I didn’t know food had integrity. “Let’s get a pizza Smokey!
Liberal Logic:
Some Democratic anti Trump hero is now caught up in allegations he physically abused women while having sex with them. Four have come forward with these allegations. “Well we can forgive him for those indiscretions” one female colleague asserted. As long as he continues his anti Trump rhetoric he will be fine in our comical books”
Mullahs upset with Trump. They want more mullah to fight him.
European appeasement of Iran and vilification of American dogs (they must have a lot of dogs in Iran) reminds me of this:
“Peace in our time!” “Those that ignore history are destined to repeat it.” Just don’t call on us to come and bail you out again. Our legacy of two World Wars. Cenotaphs right across this great country of ours and continual criticism by the EU.
Took a week off from walking in prep for the Vezelay trip. Big mistake. It feels as if I am walking for the very first time. Aches, pains and small blisters. I should have kept the pace going without a break. But then again it could be because I am an old fart……nah!
Elon Musk may be a gazillionaire but his taste in clothes feels bargain basement dwelling.
In another take on his entrepreneurial BS mantra of using other people’s money, he states that his Mars Spacecraft will be ready for short hops in 2019. Short hops in space? Like where in space is a short hop?
Really!
Again investors are salivating. In response Musk delivers MARS Bars to all of his admirers. Savvy dude and their tasty too but I wouldn’t invest a plug nickel with this guy. Beware of false prophets or MARS Bar aliens:
Trump frustrated with Guiliani. No really? Already? It’s only been a week or so. Any Lawyer jokes around?
Q: What do you get when you cross the Godfather with a lawyer?
A: An offer you can’t understand
On a new take of Lawyer-speak NFL Cheerleader Baily Davis, who has asked to remain anonymous, has hired a lawyer to take her case before the NFL in that cheerleaders are being sexually her-assed. “If the talks with the league don’t lead to alterations to the treatment of cheerleaders, lawsuits could still be filed.” she reiterated. In response her lawyer said: We didn’t have to sign away our right to sue,” Blackwell said. “We can file a lawsuit and that’s the plan (if the talks with the league don’t yield results). We don’t want a bunch of money. We want to make this program better.” …..yeah right. Butt (sic) remember Ms Davis a lawyer, like a wagon wheel, must be well greased!” Enough of lawyers.
“Hard done by. Whoa is me!”
Jane Fonda’s latest film “Book Club” comes out later this year….Can’t wait!
Love this from Canada’s Immigration Minister Ralph Goodale: “Seeking asylum is not a free ticket to Canada.” “No, but we do accept VISAs” he remarked later.
Say it ain’t so Ralphie!
From “the world is going to hell in a handbasket” file comes this:
Guy tells a lingerie joke on an elevator. Unfortunately for him there is a “Gender Studies” professor onboard and she goes ballistic. He is discredited professionally. She? Continues with her Gender Studies.
Guy’s professional and personal reputation destroyed all because he considers himself a Conservative. I do believe there should be a “Pink Shirt Day” for progressives! Bullies, all of them.
In a case that has triggered public outrage, a top Finnish court has upheld a ruling that sex between an asylum seeker and a 10-year-old girl didn’t constitute rape. Critics are calling for harsher sentences for child abuse. “This isn’t Canada you know” he was heard to remark. “We cannot tolerate such behavior.”
In France a French Man – is there any other kind? – is on trial for having sex with a 10 year old child. His lawyers claim – using Canadian logic – that he isn’t a predator because the so called victim isn’t a child:
Q: What do you call 25 attorneys buried up to their chins in cement?
A: Not enough cement.
Geesh
Democratic Lawyers and the Russian Connection (Maggie’s Farm)
“We’ll leave no tit unturned!”
I’ll end it there. I have an appointment with my lawyer.
Went golfing yesterday. First round of the season for me.
I sucked. Although I have been retired from the Navy now for 7 years I am still playing a military style of golf: left, right, left, right, left, right. Halt, while I look for my balls in the trees. Which reminds me of why I got that “Big Bertha” of a driver. It gives me about 50 – 100 yards further distance into the bush.
I once played with a guy who was really good but he cheated like crazy. One day we were out playing, started around noon, and he told me. SJ, if the ball falls within the shadow of the flag it’s a gimme. Really! Well that’s okay at noon but at 4pm it’s another story in itself…..Geesh.
What did Mark Twain say about golf?: “how to destroy a perfectly good walk in the park.” or something like that. So true.
Mystery of Life: …so why do they yell “four” on a golf course to indicate that a ball may hit you or come close to you? Why don’t they just yell “duck”? It has more of an oomph to it. No confusion whatsoever.
Oh well. Hopefully my game will come to the “four” this summer!
Is there anyone out there in blogland like me truly tired of the constant news barrage about Trump?
Trudeau states: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith….or mental state. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada. Brain damage ended his career in the US. Welcome to Canada. Now practicing in Saskatchewan. Where??
Unintended consequential update: …patient in Saskatchewan who required surgery on his right knee, has right frontal lobe of his brain removed… Diversity is our strength y’know. We’ll hire anybody!
Canadian NDP shunted from “Caucus” due to alleged – there’s that word again – conduct: Their investigator found…. “that he, Weir, had probably sat or stood too close to people at social events and tried to talk to them when they didn’t want to talk.
The NDP alligators were out in force:
Singh, the NDPs leader said Weir ‘failed to read non-verbal cues in social situations…’”
Non verbal cues. Canadian code for: “Why oh why couldn’t they have just told me to “fook off””
Another Mystery of Life: why hasn’t the radical feminist movement objected to the word ‘Caucus” used in parliamentary circles? Huh? Huh?
“It’s not inclusive” a female’s member said.
This just in:
Stone tools found in the Philippines predate the arrival of modern humans to the islands by roughly 600,000 years—but researchers aren’t sure who made them.
The eye-popping artifacts, unveiled on Wednesday in Nature, were abandoned on a river floodplain on the island of Luzon beside the butchered carcass of a rhinoceros. .
The carved bones are most likely between 631,000 and 777,000 years old, with researchers’ best estimate coming in around 709,000 years old. The research pushes back occupation of the Philippines to before the known origin of our species, Homo sapiens.
But the question remains:
…it’s an open question on how these hominins crossed an open ocean?
Well, that’s easy: in an open boat stupid! And then they came to Canada:
“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith state (as long as it’s not Christian)….or mental state, or evolutionary state. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada….well stated! Homo Erections from the Philippines are more than welcome here…especially in Toronto.”
Boy Scout madness! (Italics are mine)
The Boy Scouts have been slowly dying for years because people insist girls should be able to join — much to the Girl Scouts’ chagrin. The race for inclusivity at any cost started with Boy Scouts having a policy against gay staff members — a policy that quickly died.
The group accepted its first “transgender” scout in 2017 — a nine-year-old. In doing so, they officially ditched the policy of determining gender by birth certificate. A 9 year old transgendered? Are they for real here?
Understandably, the Girl Scouts of America is not happy about this change. The organization has vocally opposed gender inclusion the whole way through. Nevertheless, more than 3,000 girls have signed up to join the what used to be the Boy Scouts. That’s a direct threat to the girl scouts — therefore a direct threat to your supply of thin mints and Maple Flavoured Cookies.
Clearly, America needs to wake up and remember boys and girls are different. Thank God for that. Have you ever looked closely at “Bruce “the Caitlyn” Jenner’s pictures?” Shudder the vision.
But the radical progressives would have us think differently. These maniacs are out to destroy our civilization. They have to be stopped.
Be careful as one thing will just lead to another.
