It's Time, Once Again, foooOOORRRR......

ON THE ROAD WITH THE DOGMEAT!!!!

Yup.

Here we are, back in Canuckie-Land, having survived the chant of "Road Trip! Road Trip! Road Trip!" all the way from Ohio to Ohs-By-God-Weken. Without killing anybody.

And THEN we went to the opener of Hockey Night In Canada, yah, in Toronto, Leafs* vs the Canadiens.

Dundas Street was wall-to-wall, mob partisanship was frighteningly abundant, yet, in spite of Team Support, everybody was BROTHERS IN HOCKEY.

We're all so happy that hockey season has started that nobody really has any hostility......

....yet.

My cousins had scoped some tickets to the game, there was Really-Facking-Big-Ass-Screen TV broadcasting out in the square, Millions of Canadians singing "Oh Canada!" in unison.

I swear you could hear all of us from Michigan, if you were listening.

Goot game, tight, Leafs won by one.

Didn't really hurt anybody's feelings, since, after all, The Leafs are "Canada's Team".

Then, back out,(oot), to the square, thousands standing and milling around watching The National,(CBC broadcasting), and then watching the West Coast Biggie Opener, THE BATTLE OF ALBERTA, starring Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames.

I am,(mostly), an Oilers fan, as is my entire family. I turned traitor last season, having had JUST TOO MUCH, abandoned them for Vancouver, who, at the time, were just one notch up from the bottom and Edmonton.

I may have to re-think my traitor-ness.

The Oilies beat the Flamers 4 to 0!

Take that, Calgary!

We,(Edmonton...notice how easily that just rolled out,((oot)), there?), haven't beat Calgary in 7 games.

And here we start the season beating our ArchRivalNemesises.

So.

The Euros have NOTHING on the Canadian people when it comes to milling about,(aboot), outdoors celebrating sport.

Unless it might be the setting fire to things and destroying shop-windows and beating rivals senseless and having to have the riot police come in.

Then, those happy Euros beat us hands down.

They can have it.

CatchyaLayetrz,

........................next time I can get a signal.

oh yah.

almost forgot.

Some Fool gave me a mini-cam for my birthday.

(No, I haven't got it set up yet, so, SHUT UP.)

If I can figure out how to get vids attached to this dealie.....

well, all I can say is, LOOK OUT all you I-Text-While-Driving swinewhores.

I plan to publish the footage online and send it to the cops.

Don't worry, I'll be hands free and safe, once I get the cam rigged up to this hat dealie I'm constructing....

Be very afraid.

*Nobody needs to give me Grief about Grammar on this. I didn't choose it, but let's face it; it's better to have the team name be Toronto "Leafs", than one poor team mate having to be referred to as a Toronto "Leave". It's really NOT that big a deal, and I just know some smug Amerikanski is sitting there thinking disparaging thoughts about Toronto's choice of a team name, right this very instant. Well, guess what;

Canada isn't spewing nearly the amount of fossil fuel emissions into the atmosphere that America is,we have a National Anthem that makes sense,(and which everybody generally knows the words to), and we don't have NEARLY the number of Text-While-Driving swinewhores on the road, and hockey is just a way better game than football.

So There.
