A sad view out of the front window driving up Yonge Street Toronto this noon hour. Is there anything sadder than a big outdoor video screen that has been turned off? That wasn't in Blade Runner. Maybe the spinning LP neon signs that are either gone or busted. Oh for a barn that had the interior …

A while ago I got greased out - there is simply no other word for it...as shocking as that is - for suggesting that Canadians could more troops on the field in Afghanistan. The greasing parties were (and are) more knowledgeable and experienced in matters military and I usually bow to their wisdom …
