Where the wind come sweepin' down the plain, you mean? Presumably corn (which grows as high as an elephant's eye), (waving) wheat, barley, carrots and pertaters, pasture fer the cattle, spinach and termayters and flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom.

Last post by Josephus - December 16, 2025, 04:17:58 PMThere is a bit of a danger here--for Liberals.
The Conservatives were poised to win an election, as long as Trudeau was leader of the Liberals. When Chrystia Freeland nailed her theses on the PMO's office doors, she started a reformation, that not only brought Trudeau down, but also PP's chances of winning the Prime Minister title.
Fast forward a year. If the Liberals were to call an election, it is likely, in my opinion, they will win. PP has strayed too far to the right for most Bay Street conservatives, his rhetoric seen as too grimacy for many conservatives. But the Liberals' gloating over their recent floor crossing victories, their near-majority, should be tempered by the expectation that this will bring down PP himself. And surely his replacement will be a more-centrist, candidate, a duplicate, in fact of the ultra-conservative Mark Carney. One who could in fact defeat Carney in a future election, when PP is unlikely to.

Last post by mongers - December 16, 2025, 04:13:22 PMRe-watching 'Seinfeld' for the first time since original transmission, some real diamonds in the rough, just getting to the end of S3.
'The Boyfriend' with a guest appearance by Keith Hernandez* (sp?) was excellent and would possibly spark some interest from JR?
*not heard about him before, but for someone playing themselves he did a good job.

Last post by saskganesh - December 16, 2025, 02:00:58 PMI enjoy how Ma went to two different parties. Helluva dancer apparently.
When he ran in the Don Valley Ma got creamed by 15000 votes, so he trucked up to Markham, and got lucky 'cause the Liberal incumbent (Chiang) disgraced himself. Ma's win was quite close in any event.

I'm a bit surprised; I would have thought you might find it a bit slow (after our brief discussion on some episodes of The Bear).
The last episode was the lowest rated on IMDB (7.5), while I thought it was really strong. :shrug:
I also liked Better Call Saul and it was glacial.
My problem with The Bear was that it hid its boring story behind constant yelling.
