Every so often I wander intot he dollar store to peruse their book aisle, and I’m rarely disapointed. As often as not they have a big old stack of cheap books, and today was no exception.

The prize of the lot is “With a happy eye but..” by George Will.

Now, I’m not a HUGE fan, bt I picked it up and read this:

“What is liberalism’s appeal? Surely less it’s plausibility than the surprises it provides. Liberals constantly experience the excitement of the unexpected, the thrill of being startled by the unanticipated- if only by them- consequences of their actions”

I knew then and there I MUST spend a dollar for this book. That paragraph alone was worth it. I’ll let you know how it goes.

The ogwife and Oglet feeding shithawks.

The Maitland river in Goderich.

Driving through Ontario in the middle of the night, I didn’t get to sightsee much, but on the way back, man, are there a bunch of damned wind farms. Seems eevry farmer has a couple on his property- there must be soem huge tax breaks or something.

One way or another, I am happy to see something alternative being developed, but I’m all too painfully aware of the environmental impact this causes. Dumbasses. Tip speed on those rotors can be a couple hundred miles an hour, and they shred any bird unwary enough to wander into range.

For scale, each of those blades is about 100 feet long- in other words, an over length flatbed semi, for each blade.

hey, I like alternatives, but as DenBeste shows, this is a meaningless thing that will do more harm, overall, than good, and it’s expensive to build.
