Little Miss Sunshine and Civic Election
It's a beautiful day here on the Prairies. 18 degrees and sunny. October 1 - the first day of a new month. Time marches on, doesn't it? Only 10 more sleeps until Gary and Carolyn arrive for a visit. I am looking forward to that.
I worked two and a half days last week and so far, I have only one day this week, Friday. But I may get more. There seems to be a pattern. I get fewer days at the beginnings of months and more days at the end of months. I wonder why that is? That's me, always looking for patterns and reasons for things.
I had dinner with my friend H. on Thursday. It was fun and I hope to do it again some time. We ate at Earl's. I noticed that all the servers are young girls, slim and pretty. They all wear white tops with black mini-skirts. I wonder if they ever hire plain-looking girls, or girls with a handicap, or boys for that matter. It can't be just co-incidence, can it?
I went to see "Little Miss Sunshine" last night. It was a hoot. It was all about this dysfunctional family and their journey to California to allow the six-year-old daughter to enter the "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty pageant. Lots of satire there. It was smart, funny, touching and uplifting, so I enjoyed it. A word of caution: It has some bad language, so if that sort of thing offends you, give it a pass.
We have a civic election coming up on October 25. There are three main candidates: incumbent Sam Katz, Kaj Hasselriis, and former MLA Marianne Cerilli. Sammy hasn't done much for the city. He lowered the business tax, which was not a surprise. After all, he is a businessman. He quashed the rapid transit scheme and supports the controversial hog processing plant. He's been pretty much what I expected. Kaj Hasselriis is quite inexperienced. He doesn't seem too progressive and supports a rapid bus system that will increase the pollution of Winnipeg. Marianne Cerilli opposes the hog processing plant and supports labour, ecological issues and feminism. She seems like the only candidate that espouses these values and for that reason I'm voting for her. Here is a link to her website, for anyone who wants to know more about her. I seem to have forgotten how to create a hyperlink. Will try again later.
I am sending all kinds of good wishes and hugs to Sierra. I hope her recovery from tonsilectomy is fast. Charlene, give her a hug from me.
Must go. I'm having tea with my friend, S. today. She is an older Russian lady who is a retired pathologist. Her husband died about a year and a half ago.
Ta ta. Keep your head up and your stick on the ice!
What's the definition of a will? (Come on, It's a dead giveaway!) Unknown source.
