The start of another work week, sun is up, and still no frost in God's Country!  This is Susan's last full day here of rest, so I shall wait until she is awake to see what is in her plans for today.  I know some where in there will be a run out to the highway to refill one propane bottle.  Perhaps we shall take a short tour of the other side of the lake, just to see if there was any new construction this past year.
  It is also that time of year to thing of any tree transplanting one might have in mind, and I have two trees that did not survive the stress of the summer.  I may address this situation this week, as we have found a couple of trees that need rescuing.  This, before the mowers come and do there thing next spring, and a good time to transplant is in the fall.
  Hopefully golf will be on my agenda again this morning, they are calling for a warming trend!  Let's hope the weather man (person) is right!
  When watching the news last night, they reported that Canadians went back in droves to the NHL after the strike lockout because it's our game. in fact more fans than ever attended the games after the lockout!  well I was not one of them!  Perhaps they got new fans because I know a lot of people who do not turn on their tv's or go to NHL games that did attend before!  I wonder If it was all about establishing a new market base, the hell with the old fans.  We need a new fan base to expand and make more money than ever!  Why do you think, they made the rule changes they did, was it to improve the game?  I think not, it was to make the game appealing to a different fan base.  Could these new players play with the old rules, yes some could.  But there are not enough players in the league, to have as many teams as the NHL wants out there.  Then there would not be what is it three, four billion dollars they are fighting about how to divide up this time around.
  So Canada it's time to wake up and smell the coffee, tea, hot chocolate, roses, or whatever you prefer in the morning!  Make your statement, take back your game, Just simply boycott the NHL!
  Susan is awake now, so it is pow-wow time to make plans for the day!  First will be breakfast, and what follows after that will definitely all be part of Building the Simple life....................
