Monday morning blues.

The man from Melbourne did not get the job done in Arizona. It was an interesting see saw battle all day, both players having 2 up leads at various times. Unfortunately O’Hears usual lazar like touch around and on the greens disappeared at a critical time, he lost on the 35 hole.
Not a wasted day, O’Hearn gets 800 grand, and I got to stay inside away from the light snow, blowing snow and flat white conditions.

On looking at Google Maps of Arizona one cant but notice the proliferation of gold courses all over. I wonder if anyone has tallied up the annual $ cost of fertilizer and water to keep those courses so green. Probably don’t want to know I’d say.

Speaking of closed minds; I hope many people have read the articles by Rob Antel. Very reveling indeed. It should put aside any doubt as to what most MHA’s have been all about these many years. I guess one could come up with a Thesaurus on names to describe the participants in this saga, everything from ignominious to acquisitive.
The best thing for all would be for any and all of the incumbents who have been at the sauce boat be given their leave. Then some sort of constituent assembly be formed to try and put some credibility back into the democratic process.

I heard on CBC HV-GB late last week a piece on the high cost of parcel post into and out of Labrador. Some clips of women telling of the absurd costs to get mail in and out of the area.
Torngat Mountains MHA Wally Andersen took time from his schedule to give voice on the issue. His points sounded familiar, “been working on this file for years, can’t understand why costs so high, will be continuing the battle”. Wally used an example of a parcel of given size and weight within Labrador and to point outside Labrador. The example he gave piqued my interest. It was word for word of some of the research I did that was presented at the recent Combined Councils meeting. Probably just a coincidence-right?
