From the department of meaningless stats... He's a good player. Who cares how many days old he is?

He's yuge.

So I’m still working on this - two days later. What’s really annoying though? Co-pilot wants to edit my text, add entire paragraphs etc. one of the reasons this is taking so long - when you search for data- co-pilot pops up with its data- usually, if not always, incorrect.

Meaningless headlines “big if true” “ breaking news” “Unknown person crushes trump” “Another unknown person destroys trump” Any meidas headline “This the end of carney” And more Any variation of the above guarantees I won’t read it

Seems like a time warp seeing the Nordique Jerseys out there Only three players were even born the last time this club played in Quebec- Gallagher, Anderson, Matheson - none of them are old enough to remember though.

An excellent article from Jack Todd montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

The AI produced stories on FB are nauseating- all the same words- change a name and a date/ hit send. If this is the future of publishing - oh dear. The latest is- Gary Burgoff - but it’s all the same. All I know is everyone on set loved radar- hated Gary- not included in that article.

Thought it would be worthwhile to point out that Lane Hutson does a better job as goalie than Mitch Marner. Although Mitch does deserve credit for actually trying.

5 hours till game time - 5 hours to document what Alberta has, and hasn’t done to develop a green energy economy. What’s needed for a full transition to green What we need to do in the meantime. Did carney make this huge mistake that some folks think he did? Should be enough time right? We’ll see

20 +million Americans fought this war. 20 + million Brit’s 1 million Canadians Countless others 6 million Jews were executed 60 million deaths Tucker and piers have the fucking gall to try to rewrite this ?

Watching keeper of the flame- just thinking the typewriter I carried to college weighed maybe 10 pounds - looking at these old royals the reporters have - they would have had to bring them - must weigh 30 lbs or so. And we complain now about a 5 lb laptop

How would you explain the descendants of immigrants forcibly detaining a native on the suspicion they’re an illegal immigrant?

American Thanksgiving tradition here. When we lived in Michigan we would listen to the lions game every year on our way to Chicago and thanksgiving with her parents.

I’ve now wasted my two monthly Globe and Mail gift links on trying to post here. I can’t post from the G&B app- it has to be done from the website . Annoying Now it just occurred to me— maybe it’s a setting on my phone…….

The comments regarding the pipeline ( I still don’t think this will ever happen-in the meantime the replies make for some good reading)

I think it’s somehow appropriate the 1936 movie “Sabotage” was produced by “Janus Films”

Sometimes the answers are better than the questions

During a college class we had to plan out in detail how to provide a hot thanksgiving dinner to American troops all within a 24 hour period. 50,000 troops in various locations Quite the challenge- based on real life as it really happened.

Nick Pierre is a damn fine player- his goal last night was spectacular. Pulled away from two players the. Turned on the gas and blew past the defense.

See a lot of posts about proper etiquette when traveling by air. I went to game at Merrimack yesterday - club level season tickets. Ruined by 5 middle schoolers kicking the seat backs, being obnoxious for three hours. Not an adult to be found. Their parents it seems have done a wonderful job.

Perfect

It's been far too long since we raised a class to Toronto hockey writer Michael Traikos and his immortal story: "Is Morgan Rielly greater than Orr?" Oops!

This is too sad - and cancer sucks www.threads.com/@cdnhistorye...

As the holidays draw nigh, here is how I do it. To Christian friends, Merry Christmas. Jewish friends, Happy Hanukkah. Friends who mark Kwanzaa, Happy Kwanzaa. Atheist/Agnostic friends, Happy Holidays. These greetings are expressions of good will. Don't use them as weapons. We have plenty of those.

I completed a sleep study last night. you go to a clinic. They hand you an instruction sheet, a device, and send you home. You place a probe on your chest. a monitor on your finger, switch it on and sleep. All went well except I spent the night wondering why I picked a fight with Charlie angus

In other news, Toronto is now last in the eastern conference.

People still think they’re going to win elections ( not to mention arguments) because climate change is serious and nearing a crises status ( hint - it is) But then again 4 of the fastest growing metro area are in florida . If people can’t figure out the relationship between pot hole - next -

Some perspective is needed here. Keystone XL - miles needed to make it to Texas 2200 miles Miles built since 2008 -0 Miles remaining 2200 miles 0 miles built in 17 years 17 years from now renewable energy costs will be much lower than today- and they’re already the least expensive source.

I left out the most important item here- Danielle Smiths big thing is Albertas independence. That push is grounded in perceived mistreatment by the federal government. Carney just buried that argument. Now what does Smith do? What do the MAGA folks in Alberta do?

I was a big supporter of Charlie. Then along came Meidas Ca and with that came these headlines. First -This isn’t a bad deal Second - the leafs will win the Stanley cup before this pipeline ever gets built. Third- It’s called reducing the heat - get to the table and let’s move on.

I have never heard this before. Partly because I’ve never used memory aids- don’t need to. Read something, wrote something - I could state it back verbatim, days, weeks, years later. I could quote back entire conversations. I rarely took note I can’t do that anymore, at least not nearly as well.
