We actually got up early to install a privacy cover inside the Spinach Patch to hopefully hide the bunny, Choco, from the dogs, especially Rio, Grande, Nina and Tommy. I worked the outside as Cristina organized the inside coating the way she wanted. Hopefully this will have the desired outcome and Choco will be safe out there. Who knows, ... it could become his permanent home, with lots of iron-rich spinach to eat... and he can provide goos fertilizer for the spinach!!! A perpetual nature circle!
Uncle Raimundo stopped by. Since Cristina was doing her hair because the day turned rainy, the trip to Salto to see Raimundo's sister, Auntie ?? (I forget the name) will probably happen Saturday.
Cristina is also planning a visit for the two of us to see her half-sisters,.. maybe tomorrow. I will remember to bring music and beer...
A long awaited Brier showdown between retiring champion Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Brad Jacobs, Olympic Champion Team Canada happened this afternoon. The teams played a very close game until the last 2 ends and Gushue ran Jacobs out of rocks for the win... That was curling at its best!!!!
I am still smarting over being duped by a speculative AI story about our Prime Minister Mark Carney sending an ultimatum to Trump and aligning a block of countries to take over our trade from the USA. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Tiic0lGlQ
While it is untrue, it is believable in such a way that we would be world heroes for standing up to the Big Orange Bully. I am so sorry that it is not true.....
I twigged to the fact that this was an AI production when the woman narrator did not use notes and had karaoke-style captions for the whole narrative...., on a story supposedly only minutes old... I watched a couple of others too, but they had a disclaimers that said they were an AI production. One of them purported that Canada went against NATO and NORAD to sign a defence deal with Putin and the Russians... That one was really not believable...
The ones with Warren Buffet only showed a photo of him for the whole supposed story of how Canada was going to bury the USA economically by not buying American goods, and shutting off the oil flow...
There was another story that top American generals were calling out Trump for using the military to bolster his political BS...
This AI crap is scary...
But we can harbor a slim hope that the American courts will quit playing Republican politics and enforce the law of the land which would remove this cancer from our midst.... I can't imagine how this ridiculous dolt can act like an unruly dictator by threats and bluster and no Americans have the guts to call his bluffs... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hate that man..........
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
