Garbage Day
On the phone with a friend, explaining that I'd forgotten it was Garbage day, Month end and all, and she says:
"Well don't you have a bin?" and I say "What do you mean?" and she explains "Well, it's not like you have to take out the garbage on a certain day..." and I clarify: "No, it's garbage day. Yesterday was month end...I have to go foraging through the Alleys for some furniture and other finds..." and she starts to laugh and tell me that to most people, garbage day means take it out, only to me does it mean bring it in...
Upon reflection, I can see how that might appear odd to people...

Prediction: The US Election
Really, it's none of my business, but the politics in the US have global influence. And I'm not really criticizing or judging them, at least not for Americans, they can do their own research, they've abundant resources, shit, if they're online and reading this they've got the internet and there's no excuse...
But as an observer, Canadian, with the same interest every other country on earth has in their elections and politics, this is what I think is gonna happen:
#1) Donald Trump will win the Republican Nomination, and be their candidate.
#2) Either Hillary or Bernie Sanders will win the Democrat Nomination. I'm hoping (?) guessing Bernie Sanders. He appears to have some intelligence, wit and reason behind him.
#3) Appalled and Dismayed by the possibility or even thought of Donald Trump becoming President (!!!), most reasonable, intelligent and educated Republicans will vote Democrat. A very slight shift, but enough to turn the election.
PREDICTION: BERNIE SANDERS WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA.
That said, it will be interesting regardless. So strap on your seatbelts and prepare for the ride...
