10 cents per pound ...

There must have been 30,000 pounds of bananas delivered to my Loblaws because they were selling them for $0.10/lb yesterday.   That's right   and they were healthy and yellow & actually tasted good ....  what a treat.    I don't get a lot of breaks like that lately.   I didn't buy any more than I normally would have but I felt blessed for the break, all the same.

In case you are unaware of  it, we are having an election here in Canada.  Not that we needed one, not that we can afford another one  ...  but I guess the aristrocracy felt that they were ready ... so we have one.  Aparently the NDP were not ready; they have hardly any candidates, if lawn signs are any indication.   And the ones they do have are too busy with their university courses & studies to actually bother to campagin.  Candidates in name only ...  What would they do if we elected them?  Would they quit going to school and take the job seriously?   Would they leave their high paying professor jobs to be a hard-working MP?  Or would they do a half-baked job of being an MP as well?   You have to wonder ...  and while you are wondering you might ask yourself  are the parties in collusion and these candidates are token offerings, that  the party is not intending them to win ...  almost actually saying vote for the other party and we're OK with that  ...  I would ask Jack Layton that  in person if I cared about the NDP - but I don't.

So in closing,  I got a good deal on bananas yesterday  ....  and until election day B.S. is  free & plentiful here in Canada ...  but be forewarned,  no matter who you put out for on election day  ....  They are not likely to buy you dinner.  And if you are gullible enough they will  _ _ _  in your mouth. Just Sayin'
