I hope all the Canadians are getting the turkey stuffed, and have family coming, before most of us get snow. What turkey we don't get goes south, except for the ones inmy backyard and on the deck. Too bad I couldn't shoot the wild ones but no guns in the city limits.

Snow? You are like only 60 miles north of me as the crow flies. 250 as the Kia drives...

Well eddie, our harvest is pretty much over, as most of the country is north of the 49th parallel. And it does often snow in October. That's why we think it was NUTs for Deeetroit to build an outdoor ballpark. Perhaps having Detroit in the Wurld Serious would be cool. Guys in gloves and toques. They would have to import them for some southern team. Imagine some guy from Central America trying to play basebol in the snow.

But, hockey is on ice for now, due to the yankee owners and their want of big cash. They gave the rich contracts, but now just can't afford it. When the league moved the HQ to New Yawk I knew yer jig was up, just to put some music into the thread. Now, they have to have desert teams, and palm tree teams. Right. I still bet that the TV audience for hockey is 80 percent or more Canuck.

Anyway, I can see snow outside any of the 30 or so arenas in our small city. It comes out with the Zamboni.

Cue Stompin Tom Conners and The Good Old Hockey Game, on You Tube. His drummer was his shoe, he used to wear out stages.

BTW, my father in law, 3 kinds of mechanics licence, played fiddle and guitar, built a cabin by himself that is what most would call a cottage, rebuilt tractors and cars for fun, shop bigger than most peoples houses, came down with Altzimer's at 74. Stares into space, no more music, can't remember how, no more shop, has no clue who built the cabin, or why he lives where he does. Sits and stares. Came on in less than 12 months. Scares me to death to think I'm just a decade and a bit younger. His sister in law is the same age, and has been in a nursing home for 10 years, she remembers no one.

What a sad and depressing disease. Have fun now, later might not happen, or might not happen how you thought. It's why I blew some savings on travel, but gee, I might not remember being there.

I looked up to that guy, he was so smart, could do anything. Worked on the railway out west, the pipeline up north, and saved a bundle. Now he says he should sell everything, he has no use for it. His wife runs the household now.

It might surprise you, but I like that old flat topped guitar song. Reminds me of his playing a bit.
