Random Stuff

Two stories of random interest.

• Some needed relief in my home town. Congrats guys. Sorry it took so long.
• More global warming skepticism from the National Post's Lorne Gunter. With apologies to the true believers. Thanks for the link go to my dear sainted father.  Ah what the heck - have a look at the National Post's entire series on it. 

Also - one of my friends asked me what I thought of Stephane Dion lately since people are already writing his obituary. My answer - for better or worse - is that I think he's holding his powder. Just like a guy named Steve did before the last election. That doesn't mean I'm predicting a Liberal win or anything crazy like that. I just mean that a necessary corollary of the powder holding strategy is a short term drop in the polls. I still favor the Tories (but thats colored at least in part because I want them to win this next one. Frankly I'd love a Stephen Harper majority. I want to see what he would do with it) but in any case, this one ain't over by a long shot.
