A friend is getting kicked from the hospital today.
He'll be going to his son's house where he will die.
He's a good person...raised two sons and a special needs daughter. Solo.
He got 80+ years. But I still feel like he deserves more.
Hug your people. Because life's a bowl of shit.

@MarkJCarney Canada Post should have given the Postal Workers a fair collective agreement before announcing drastic operational cuts.
Canada Post is top heavy. The CEO, the Directors, managers — go after their bonuses + big salaries before going after your mailman.

We help foreign countries financially, so why isn’t it time to save home delivery?

Canada Post isn't taxpayer-funded under the Canada Post Corporation Act, the mail carrier is expected to be financially self-sustaining while meeting the needs of Canadians.

Because of Unions we have better wages, sick leave, maternity/ paternity leave, benefits, respect in our workplace for workers.
I support my mailman, I support all postal workers. Let’s not take away door to door mail delivery.

I am a Liberal supporter and guess what, I support the 🇨🇦Postal Workers.
Why, because we need to expand not gut their services.
My mailman is great. He has kids, and rent to pay.
To stop home delivery would be the death of all these workers darn jobs.

In eight days Saturn will be at opposition. So now's the time to carefully examine the brightness of Saturn's nearly edge-on rings — to compare with how they bright they will appear right around opposition date.

Our daughter is here visiting and helping out as her dad recovers from a hip replacement. Our figs are finally starting to ripen and the tree is full. She picked a couple of pounds and we made a small batch of jam. Yum!
