McGuinty's Best Idea Ever
Hi everyone! Long time no type!
...
So... everyone's favourite premier of Ontario, the Honourable Dalton McGuinty, has now done something that I wholeheartedly agree with. Looking back on his record and realizing he has to call an election in around October, McGuinty decided to DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING until the election. That's right, even Dalton has realized that everything he touches turns to... er... guacamole... and so he has decided that NOT running the government can't possibly be as bad as VITUALLY ANYTHING HE IS LIKELY TO DO. He has done this in the vain hope that maybe in four months the people of Ontario will FORGET everything from the past four years, most especially his cute health tax, which he still maintains was a good idea.
...
The smurfs have been talking up a storm lately, and the main tasks for the summer will be:
1) Getting Mya to willingly walk longer distances than 1 block without stopping to pick flowers
2) Getting Gavin entirely toilet trained (he pretty much understands the mechanics but is avoiding the Big Leap)
3) Getting both of them to eat carrots in preparation for my big crop of carrots which should be due by the end of July.
...
Speaking of my crop, I've been thinking post-apocalyptically lately (how unlike me) and have been noodling growing my own food in anticipation of the collapse of the socioeconomic machine and the inevitable spread of genetically and otherwise altered foods. Since carrots are amoung my favourites, they are the first ones I'm trying (I once attempted and screwed up tomatoes). Does anyone know how to harvest carrot seeds for the next year's crop? Those buggers are bloody near microscopic, and obviously if I have to rely on the socioeconomic machine to supply seeds, I'm screwed. Can you plant chunks of carrot like seeds? I hear some plants can grow from a chunk of root or whatever- perhaps that would be a good method...
Or maybe I'll have to start growing more self-sufficient stuff. Curses!
...
Well, that's all for today.
Remember- shotgun shells, canned food, and a lead-lined basement are the best investments you'll ever make!
Let the good times roll,
