Memories of Rabaska in December 2007
But now, it's late spring.
The only thing that's HOT about Saskatchewan right now, is the booming economy. Boomtown economics are dicey at best, but there are ways to make money, if you are prudent. Right now, investors are pouring into our stubble fields, looking for diamonds up north, turning grain into ethanol, and starting up new Potash mines in every direction.
In my little town of Mossbank, we are hearing that a bio-diesel plant will soon be going into the old noodle factory, a mere six blocks from my home. We have not been given a choice on this, it simply is going ahead... supposedly. The rumour mill in this particular village of 500, is always active, and can turn out enough bullshit, that we could use that material to fuel our own bio industry! We could call it Verbal Diarhea for Cash.
Anyways, they are also talking about building a little senior's residence, and a few new streets to accommodate those seeking new residential lots.
Now back to the local weather. It is cold, has been cold, with periods of still more cold. Today is cold with wind, and should be followed this evening, by yet more periods of cold temperatures accompanied by strong winds with gusts to 50 mph. Hold on to your bio waste, or it will blow away. My lawn chairs have been turning up in the neighbours yard, and my dog is sporting the newest in pooch fashions, the Shelty long haired Wind Blown look.
We finally have some rain and all the growers of grain are sighing a collective AHHHH as the misty dark skies drivel a dribble of moisture down on our dry fields. Thank you JESUS!
My snowmobile is quietly rusting beneath it's cover in my back yard, and my motorcycle is plated and ready to roll. I love to ride, but the winds have been so damn strong over the past seven days, that the bike remains in the shed.
I am healing up slowly from over work all winter, which resulted in emphasima and asmah. This is just a guess, cause when you get your blood tests here in Health care free Canada, you never actually hear back from the overworked frazzled doctors, you only get a call if you are almost dead. SO.. I guess I'm not dying yet. Giving a patient here actual diagnosis, is unreasonable unless death is eminent, and there is, after all, no responsibility on the head of our doctors in Canada, as we cannot SUE them for mal practice. They may be over worked, seeing up to 80 patients a day, but they are never actually held responsible for making mistakes. I'd rather pay 800 a month in the USA and have actual HEALTH CARE.
Anyways, enough of my complaints. The freaking snowmobile season is finally OVER. Twenty feet of snow through out Quebec this winter, was over kill. As a result, no one made any money, because all the Americans stayed home. Shit. We can never seem to get it right. Oh yeah, and the low American currency didn't help, nor did the insane retail price for gas.
So, that's what's rolling around in my cabasa right now, alot of bio waste. Have a great summer, and watch out for the West Nile virus - - the damn mosquitos are dangerous!
Cheers- have a cold one on me!
