Just looked it up…AI Google says that owls can become ‘imprinted’ on certain people and recognize them as part of their flock. So there you are, you are a burrowing owl. 😁🩷

I should join the library. You can borrow books digitally. I do like a Kindle vs hardcopy. It does have some disadvantages, like trying to find a passage you read earlier isn’t easy. Also, I do reread good books and like to have them handy.
Catherine Sperling Dreyer (@catherinesperling.bsky.social) reply parent
I read 3+ books a month, so am price conscious. 😆
Catherine Sperling Dreyer (@catherinesperling.bsky.social) reply parent
Not yet. I looked it up on Amazon and it was about $17 for kindle, so I marked it and am waiting for it to drop.

In between those books that stay with me, that I think about, find notable quotes in, I read a lot of mysteries. Some of the mysteries are really good, some good, some mediocre. Just finished a few, now I need a book that stays with me. It is a quest.

The honeymoon may be over, but can you imagine Poilievre as PM in these times?! He’s never had a job in the private sector, possesses zero diplomacy, is afraid of open questions from the press. Glasses or no glasses, the guy is a dolt.

I often watch At Issue. Frankly, I find Rosie and the panelists raise pros and cons and provide both a left and right perspective. I have never perceived CBC as a conservative leaning organization. CBC is my go to for TV news, in my car, and when I’m streaming music. CBC is important and valuable!

Just finished Graham Greene’s Our Man in Havana. I really enjoy his writing. His best I would say is The Power and the Glory, a book I read twice and might read again. Good literature calms the soul. #bluesky 📚 💙

He truly is delusional and the president of the USA. Something is seriously wrong with what?…Education systems, social media, mainstream media, churches, materialism, chauvinism, deep rooted racism, social safety nets…do they all boil down to greed? I don’t know, but seriously, mind boggling.

The USA has become a very scary country.

Trump has broken trust with all trading partners, not just Canada. He has also broken trust with Americans. Canada will survive and ultimately thrive with much less reliance on US markets. Our trade reliance on the US was levered way up under Mulroney, stupid is as stupid does.
