Better late than never.
In February we dream of a day like this: 22C/73F, sunny, Friday. Also, lawn is relatively mowed but for the dandelions, going to a Wizards game tonight and planning on pie. Coconut cream pie. Somewhere between being 9 years old and forty-six, for a significant span of decades, I dropped the ability to day dream about coconut cream pie. It's back.
- Is there nothing so important yet so under-served as good hot dog scholarship? I have done my bit asking wuzza hot and other questions. I am particularly intrigued by the "michigan" and Lew is on the hunt.
- What is a "reshuffle"? Is that the same as scrambling to patch up after replacing total abandonment?
- I don't know what to make of rumours of a policy change on First Nations governance but would the Feds be able to do this with Provinces? Due to the fiduciary duty imposed since 1763, it is hard not to be paternalistic but do we really want Federal bureaucrats imposing "a more market-oriented approach"? Is that really in their skill set?
- I was interviewed on the CBC yesterday. CBC Radio. CBC Radio Yukon. By my friend. From college. Because a regular guest bailed. It's in the archives, baby!
- "He was in the street holding a camera," she said. "However, on that day, there was an order from the very top that there should be no filming or pictures allowed. "They aimed at him and shot him, a bullet went through his head."
I have to go. I have earlier Fridays these days as I watching traffic court. As nice a court as I ever saw. No one goes to jail. Not used to that.

I sort of like the idea of more competition on the reserves. Perhaps the Department of Indian Affairs could post the standings. Assorted trophies could be awarded and a "Most Valuable Chief" selected by the journalists.
But, an even better idea would be to issue shares in each reserved and trade them in a "Reserve Market". The less successful could go into liquidation rather like a couple of car companies we know.
Traffic Court can be riveting. An earlier wife of mine fought and won something like nine parking tickets in Toronto in the 1980's. She used arguments which only a philosophy gradate student would have had the cheek to even consider. (I seem to recall some reference to the "ontology" of a particularly obscure no parking sign.") Good times.

Traffic court sounds like fun. SO fun I am fighting my first speeding ticket ever very soon on my own (I'm not paying those POINTTS people $350). I plan on dressing like Colonel Sanders and talking my way out of it like a lawyer from the Foghorn Leghorn School of Law.

Seanie,
Never dismiss the Foghorn Leghorn School of Law. Judges, even traffic court judges, enjoy a good show.
Make sure to find an 1850 precedent going to carriages. Hit it and hit it hard.
