Bowling near average

Not above average so I am a disappointment. But it’s only the first game.

I also spoke to the team at Locals. The glitch has been resolved, and they are paying attention to the issues.

Appearance on Richard Syrette

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

Assisting suicide in Canada

There’s a certain irony to this story… A citizen being prosecuted, and ultimately pleading guilty to assisting suicide, where the government is actively doing the same.

This is the story of a guy named Kenneth Law. He apparently met people online on social media platforms discussing suicide, and would sell them chemical kits to facilitate them committing suicide.

Absolutely demonic. But who knows… Maybe he was inspired and thought he had a political permission slip to do what the government of Canada does.

I believe he was initially charged with second-degree murder, and they were going to up that to first-degree murder. But a ruling from the Supreme Court of Canada made it exceedingly difficult to pursue first-degree murder charges, so they struck a plea deal for 14 counts of assisted suicide.

Each carries a maximum sentence of 14 years. Though a cumulative sentence is apparently unlikely.

Just an awful story.

A. Art of the Day

The allure of the staircase, like bidges, doors, and windows, always attract my mind’s eye, as portals between worlds, accented here by the color pallete and structural designs of the art deco era a century ago, blessed by the glamorous dress pooled around the elegant woman moving between those worlds as she bidges the steps, champagne flue carefully in hand, with the past yet close and the future still beckoning.

A. Art of the Day

The distilled Americana of Norman Rockwell celebrating that most American tradition — the Thanksgiving dinner. The cheery family, the fat turkey, the elegant table, the fresh fruits, the inviting vegetables (which I pronounced vetagables as a kid), dressed in Sunday best for a right and righteous feast celebrating America in that distinctly hopeful Rockwell expression.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“After the U.S. experience during the Great Depression, and after inflation and rising interest rates in the 1970s and disinflation and falling interest rates in the 1980s, I thought the fallacy of identifying tight money with high interest rates and easy money with low interest rates was dead. Apparently, old fallacies never die.” Milton Friedman.

A. Art of the Day

My idea of a downstaris bar, the dancing globes, the circular bar, the mirrored backspace, the rectangular lanterns, the soft cloth seats, the steady backs, the gemoetric carpet, the quiet clock in the corner, inviting, beckoning, welcoming to a night of conversation over cocktails, a return to the roaring 20s, flapper girls in cocktail dresses and men in vests and top hats, a real-life bourbon with Barnes from yesteryear.
