I'll take intelligence over BS any day.  Someone who won 4 bronze stars, taught at West Point and had a stellar record in Congress and earned a Phd from Cornell is a good candidate in my book. I don't want some dumb azz populist outlier like Trump as Governor.   If you read one of Chris Gibson's books you might have a different view.  Any politician visiting your plant is walking on eggs as it's considered one of the worst polluters on the Hudson and lots want it closed. 
Trevor, the Canadian Rockies are incredible. I've been to Banff, Jasper and Wood Buffalo. Give yourself a real treat and do a trip on the Bow River.  One of the best trout rivers in the world.  In the summer, the critters head higher, but the wildlife is still abundant. I went in May one year when everything from Caribou to  Bighorns , Moose, Mountain Goats and lots of bears were down in the valleys. It was very much a drive through zoo. I was hoping for a trip to Cape Breton this summer to salmon fish on the Margaree, but it looked kind of restrictive crossing the border with long quarantines.  I hope this changes for your sake. Are you  flying to Calgary?

Dumb stuff from me

r3g3
Yes - into Calgary in August--I hope---
Its a group trip and contingent on those restrictions being lifted.
 
Hey- my mother in law used to live on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia  vacationed there for a couple of weeks for many summers.
They had a camp up on Loc Lomond ( sp?) her husband  and I fished every day for native brookies in places with no trails and no footprints with beaver pools and pristine conditions that only the natives knew -GREAT
Also fished the loc for Atlantics.
In late Summer they had what they called the 'strawberry run' of brookies from salt water along the coast where their house was.
Some streams would load up with fish and no one else around.
Used to buy our little flys on those cardboard sheets with about 18 bugs for a dollar, made no difference what ya threw they hit everything.

The only place I've ever caught salters. We hiked into a place called Fishing Cove which had a brookie stream running into the Northumberland Strait. I caught  silvery brookies 100 feet in from the salt, and pollock in the cove. Ate the fish with tons of wild blueberries for dessert. Heaven on Earth. I'm hoping,the restrictions lift for both of us.

A little teaser, the Bow goes right through Calgary.

Still sketchy grammar.  I think Chris can write a little more clearly than you. 

Wrong thread but ,hey Tuna--GREAT SHOWER !!!

Dumb stuff from me

I've put showers in for my Dad and brother who were in wheelchairs and  for a vet who lost his legs in Iraq. Of course, not as cool as you. If you didn't perpetually try to play show and tell and  use passive aggressive one-upmanship it would be a happier place. I'll leave you to your blog, it's not worth my time.
 
 
 
 

FIRST SHOT IN  

Pfizer
Ya dont get a choice when making an appointment- not that I cared which one anyhow.
Arm stiff as all get out overnight- not so when wifey got hers. Niece had stiff arm too.
My luck-got that little dark cloud over me sometimes --even when its a vey lucky day-- lol.

Good deal on getting the shot r3g3.

Good deal, R3. Somebody needs to warn the steelhead.

That's great new trevor.
My sister has been scheduled on Wednesday for her first shot at the center for disabled in Albany.
I'm miles away from my turn but just having the wife and sister being done take a huge load off my mind.

That's good news Rg.
Don't know if you have but I'd check out the tailwater. Its really first rate and I'm sure the wife would enjoy a massage.
Being retired, going during the weekdays ain't so bad on $$.
Good luck..

It's all relevant rg. The days of 10, 20 and 40 dollar rooms are pretty much over. I don't mind taking a room for 2 at $140. There that has everything on site over a room for 2 at $100.. I may go for the fishing but enjoy the comfort and amenities

Totally agree HT.

My wife and I have said that from the start. Shots in arms is the goal. I'm not advocating for taking a vaccine from someone at risk. They should have had a stand by list with no restrictions. If you want a shot you can get it. Have it at a 10 mile radius. Set up a text alert. Any shots left over would go to someone rather than get wasted.
