Today the winter winds are howling and the snow is flying, reminding us that, even though it is the beginning of March, we are still subject to the vile cruelness of the Canadian winter. Such are the joys of living north of the 49th parallel.
I read a book this week called The Life of Pi which is the story of a young boy who gets shipwrecked and ends up in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, a hyena, an orang utan and a zebra with a broken leg. It makes for a fascinating read and kept me up real late the other night trying to get through it. Good reading.
And from the "Life is like a Soap Opera" department comes the story of the Liberal MP's caught on leaked audio fearing for their careers. And so they should be. Of course it's not good to paint them all with the same brush but let's face it, the life of a politician these days is tainted from the get go. I don't care which party you are from, most politicians are seen as crooks by the GP (general public). Trouble is what do you replace them with? More politicians? Someone suggested maybe a benevolent dictator. Yea right! Maybe we should all move to Cuba. At least we wouldn't have to put up with these infernal winters.
