Just trying to live a peaceful life in a very crazy world.
Everyone in the White House says all these tariffs will NOT cause inflation. Ya, right!
Stats say it's already happening, and will happen more and more in the coming months.
I don't see how it would be possible for 35% tariff for example to not cause inflation.
It's BS.

haven't been here much lately, or on any socials.
I'm selling my house being I'm here by myself due to my wife's alzheimer's.
So lot's of things to do.
Hopefully life gets back to (somewhat) normal, shortly.
This is real life... don't let all the political nonsense sidetrack you.
Peace

That's about it. And half of America chowed down on it.
Ugh.

Donald Trump says he may use Military force to take over Greenland and Panama Canal as well as Economic force to annex Canada.
This is pretty much why we all thought he was similar to Putin and Hitler.
Well f&ck him.

What could ever go wrong?
This is crazy.
Candy, ice and lottery tickets have long been impulse items sold at checkouts in American grocery stores. Now bullets are joining the list of merchandise peddled to consumers as they exit at a growing number of stores around the country.
Start-up putting ammo vending machines in grocery stores plans to grow
Dallas-based American Rounds says it makes selling ammo safer and more convenient, but some public officials and health experts worry about impulse bullet buying.

Yesterday I received my new bag, a Six Zero Performance Backpack.
I love this bag. I got the RUBY version.
I did a quick video about it and put it on YouTube.
More details about the bag are in the YT description.

I did some Christmas baking today.
I made a sheet of good old traditional Scottish Shortbread, and they turned out great.
I'm really pleased with it.
I'm shocked at how much butter goes into these.
Next up, I'm going to try making some chocolate mousse cookies.
December 4, 2024 at 1:43 AM
Today is the day I actually get to play Zane Navratil.
I will have fun, regardless probably getting my butt kicked.
(Actually not even probably, ,more like definitely) 😀
Thanks for coming to our club, Zane, to raise funds for Alzheimer's.

Does trump EVER have the ability to sit down and discuss things to work out a solution BEFORE he starts the threats?

The border is a mutual issue and problem between Canada and US.

Migrants are going both directions with more going north now.
And virtually all illegal arms in Canada come from US.

Next Monday, our club in Kitchener Ontario will be holding a fund raiser for Alzheimers.
Zane Navratil will be here doing some exhibitions and social play.
The fact that my wife has Alzheimer's is the entire reason I took up PB.
And, I get to play him.
I am looking forward to this.

Played 8 matches tonight. About 2 hours
My best pickleball play of 2024 so far.
Time for a silver bullet!

Jeezuz.... do we have to rejig our entire economy in Canada every 4 years with the changes in US policies?
This is a total knee jerk move by Trump because he can't stand Trudeau.
And right now, the problem is people invading Canada from US, not the other way around.
Trump vows to slap 25 per cent tariff on all products from Canada, Mexico
Tariffs would stand until both countries crack down on drugs and immigrants entering the U.S. illegally, Trump said on social media

Over the last month I've finally gotten back to pickleball after a 3 month long recovery from a non pickleball related injury.
I'm finding my aerobic fitness is coming back as I've gotten back to 3 x. 1.5 hour matches per week.
However my actual game is still a bit up and down.
Drilling is next plan

Got out to Corte Kitchener, and played 2 hours of pickleball with a group of members.
It was such a fun time. Very even and competitive.
A lot of great play by all today.
I played with the Selkirk SLK Halo Pro XL 14MM
I really hit it well. Crushed the volleys.

Confirms my thoughts.
When my wife's Alzheimers started we walked every day.. it kept her calm and functioning a bit better for a few years.
"Regular exercise can delay dementia onset by 18 months."

Regular exercise is so useful for maintaining cognitive function that it can even help people who are genetically more predisposed to dementia to reduce their risk by up to 35%.

From 1976 to 1978 I worked at the University of Toronto.
About 3 blocks from where I worked in was a bar called the El Mocambo.
It was a pretty historic bar and in fact looked who showed up there one night in 1977
This was a historic night for both the Rolling Stones and apparently, Margaret Trudeau
