Those folks believed some looney stuff. That same looney stuff is in the air.

Dear Owen: take one giant backward step, pivot, take 3 light touch steps.. run upwind.. mebbe 5 minutes slowly & leave a huge scent trail.. then slog downstream in a freezing stream bed. leap lightly to some heavy shrubbery.. scatter any snacks you may have.. then run in a part downwind direction, veer upwind & downwind.. then quickly retrace said path walking backwards in your steps..then veer suddenly, working slightly down and cross wind.. keeping the breeze on one cheek.. but somewhat behind you.. carrying you scent far far away.. to Frobisher Bay<br /><br />You have a Great Bear following your trail.. thinking you are a light lunch.. snackage. Have an eye for a climbable tree but be aware a polar bear will patiently wait for you to fall for a week.. a grizzly is less patient.. will take out the entire tree.. a black bear will graze in the blueberries while awaiting your descent.<br /><br />Such is the nature of political animals.. its about sniffing you out via voter data and polling.. and then a tooth n claw attack on your decency. They know who your family is and what vegetable you last bought at a famer's msrket.. they know what's in your Halloween goodie bags and will know what Christmas prezzies you wrapped already.. They know if you've been good or bad before Santa does and your fave reindeer, via Elections Canada, they know how you and kin voted via 'bingo cards' even before Scheer crashed and burned. The rest they got lt or bought it illegally, Harper style black ops m'man..<br /><br />I insult the great bears just by using them in an anology.. <br />they are actually normal, obey laws of nature.. <br /><br />But <br /><br />As the stranger at the bar says at the end of The Big Lebowski..<br />'Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you'<br /><br />We... you and me.. and Canada eh<br />are being eaten by the bear<br />They call it 'Democracy' while tracking & snacking on us<br /><br />the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
