So the Conservative and Alliance party have put on hold their discussions on their plans to talk about the possibility of merging the two parties in order to form stiff opposition to the Liberals in the upcoming election. I guess they can't come up with a plan on how to choose a leader for the new party as each present leader does not want to "give away" their party. So the Paul Martin machine will probably rumble right over them unless they can get their act together, which in Canadian political terms is pretty much an impossibility.
The leaves are all starting to turn now and I want to try and get down to the river valley one of these days and take some fall photographs of the colors before the leaves all fall off. It's been getting colder lately and we've had a bit of frost but I'm holding out for a decent Indian summer. Nonetheless, winter is on it's way and I guess we should start getting prepared for that.
