Plums give gas to bears...what a drag.
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
I am here at the Gimli library. The lake level is pretty high and they are sandbagging at Winnipeg Beach, most of the boardwalk is gone and they want to save the rest....and some cabins too. The water is high because of the rain from the south, east and mostly from the west....most rivers from the prairies drain into the Lake and then the lake drains into the Hudsons Bay. There is lots of shore erosion both on the lake and on the Red River banks in Winnipeg. People are losing their property to the river at a frightening rate.
Glad Gary, Carol and Lou are having a good time at Mike's place. Have you gone out hunting bears? We had a black bear attack and kill someone in Selkirk (just north of Winnipeg)....a black bear! no bells! I understand that the berries and such, the bears normal food, is in real short supply, hence the attack. Some guy picking wild plums and the bear took offense.
Yes, I filled the car with gas yesterday at $1.14.9/lt. It had a 1/4 of a tank and it cost me $58.00!!! damn oil companies! I understand that gas is about $.79/lt US in the States...thats about $1.00/lt Canadian.......I feel better now.
All those poor people in the Big Uneasy. Still waiting to be helped. Where is the National Guard?..in Iraq. What is the Iraq war costing Americans?...1 BILLION dollars/day. That could help people in New Orleans now! But Bush goes on TV and shows empathy by kissing a few foreheads and musing about his very rich friend Trent Lott and how he lost his house to the storm and how the poor fellow will have to rebuild. Amazing how all the stranded people are negroes. Would they have left white people standing on roofs for 5 days if this happened in Kennebunkport??? I think not.
Well, better go and get back to the trailer. Luckily we have Suzie the Wonder dog at the trailer to protect us from the bears....no bears around here! because Suzie the Wonder Dog is on the job! We will probably take in the drag racing this afternoon...they have a new track over at the old Gimli airport.
Peace
