Today's song is: Right Place, Wrong Time ... Dr. John
Speaking of the alternate Dr. John from Bangkok ... He will be arriving back in Canada for the foreeable future on July 2nd. Many jars will be drained to celebrate his home coming.
I like to walk around the neighbourhood at night and just look at how people live. One thing I noticed is that all the front lawns have gone to weeds since Ontaio banned private use of herbicides and pesticides. The ban came about because the doctors lobbied that they thought these chemicals were causing cancer in children although there was no evidence that was the case and all the federal studies showed that the chemicals were safe. I supposed if you let your kids forage for food on the lawn that might be the case. Who knows, with the price of food these days parents may be using the grass for leafy greens in their salads.
One thing we learned during the pandemic is that quite a few doctors are a brick short of a load. Doctors should not pretend to be chemists. Look at the job they did pushing pain killers and getting many people hooked on them.
Back to the homes, enterprising folks are filling their lansws with rocks and pavers. Just as well as I can see a ban coming on gas powered lawn mowers.
THe other major event was a huge, huge, huge major thunderstorm that rolled across the National Capitol region and destroyed mych of the power grid. 95% of homes lost their powere for 1 to 7 days and there are still thousands of homes without power at teh 10 day mark. Needless to say, this will get chalked up to global warming and another reason to ban the lawn mowers, or should we rename them weed mowers>
Many people, myself included, lost hundreds of dollars worth of food stored in the fridge and freezer.
