Slave Lake donations buried in Calgary dump - Calgary - CBC News It's always demoralizing to hear about real waste, even more so when that waste involves literally throwing away gestures of kindness and compassion. I also get that rules are rules. And I respect that, I really do. But...

Or you don't eat before you post?

See! Now I'm gettin worried. :)

Are ya gettin enough to eat Petros? Today it's blueberry pie charts, the other day it was cheese from the moon. I'm seeing a pattern to your posts. ;)

All I'm going to say to that is "Glad I've already had my breakfast this morning". Therein lies the problem, since news reports are where people generally get their information from. Now I'm no Einstein but I'm not an idiot either. It is incredibly difficult to discern the pertinent truths...

Isn't that just as true of any issue the media gets their hands on? Politics, history, crime. The media is trying to sell more ad time on the evening news. Mostly they just seem take the shortest route to that goal. That's a little clearer and easier to understand when you understand the basics...

That's good to know. On a completely unrelated note you're on the west coast right? The opposite end of the country from where I live? Just askin'. Don't want to end up in the food chain. ;)

Lol, no need to apologize. I always use round steak, the shoe leather of steaks if not properly tenderized, but it's fork tender by the time the tomatoes have had their way with it. I'm going to try the beef broth someday, probably next winter (seems like a winter comfort food kind of dish...

There should be lots of fodder for interesting commentary in this one. ;) German man trapped in women's prison rescued by mayor | World news | The Guardian

Too true. Like the song that means different things to different people.

Very eloquent, Karrie. I'm struck, as I often am at moments like this, with how many of us, if not all of us, relate so well to another person when these thoughts and feelings are expressed. We get it, we are "together" on it. Yet when we ourselves have these thoughts, we are convinced no one...

These are amazing photos! Photograpic art is my favourite form of visual art. Something about it, maybe capturing the beauty of reality, stark though that may be. I don't know, but I find it captivating. I'd love to see more of your work.
