Labour Alberta
And could not let the occasion of the landmark overthrow of the PC party - symbols of all the privilege, arrogance, ignorance and entitlement that have governed this province the past 40 years, go unremarked. Congratulations to the NDP, and hopefully this opens the door to a more intelligent and enlightened future.
Or not. We'll see.

Introduction Cards
From the days when a man might, in lieu of crude or cheesy opening lines, actually commit his banality to a business card of sorts, to be presented to his intended beau or victim. I have every intent of reviving this custom...
Some of the more inane rhymes:
"Your beau I wish to be,
This card I therefore send,
Please answer quick to me,
Will you be my friend?"

Better Call Saul
And following Breaking Bad I'm short of entertainment, never responsibility, but I'm using this to hide from it. Breaking Bad, amazing, the ending not entirely unexpected, but true to the characters and not as cruel as the writers could have made it. 5 Stars, and for a moment, a couple of moments, I'm bereft, back to the European Art House, but memory's a tricky thing, and eventually it comes to me how this all got started - the trailers for "Better Call Saul" - and I watch the first season. There's only one season, this saves me from myself. And, written by Vince Gilligan as well, it's predictably great, introducing the character of Saul Goodman (AKA James McGill, AKA Slippin' Jimmy), as well as fleshing out some of the characters from Breaking Bad - the sociopathic Tuco and Mike, the "protection man". Season 1, 5 stars, now to get some work done...

Nelson Garage Sales
Saturday is Review day at the Chamber of Mines, nothing new, Q&A and look at the rocks, and I take the opportunity to skip out and do another form of prospecting. Garage Sales.
Finds include a broken trumpet, trombone stand, pinwheel crystal vase, a box of role playing games for $10 that I flip in Calgary for $130, and the two treasures pictured below:
A vintage ceramic ashtray, with rocking bobble legs, animated by Google Auto-Awesome, and the Acupuncture kit pictured below:
They're longer than they look. With these I've almost completed my holistic and occidental medicine course, Dentistry or Acupuncture? Now to hang my shingle and find some patients...
