just to clarify

The plan:

Today, Friday: movers take away 99% of our stuff.

Saturday and Sunday: we go to work as if we have normal lives.

Sunday night: we toast to unemployment.

Monday: we pick up our one-way rental vehicle, and do last-minute errands.

Tuesday: we move to Canada.

Last blog post from US: Monday morning, before disconnecting cable modem.

First blog post from Canada: with luck, Wednesday afternoon.

    And with some time to spare before HNIC starts!

    So, are you crossing at Buffalo, or near there, or have you figured that out yet?

    Thank you everyone! I mean, I truly, truly thank you. It's very cool to know you are all rooting for us.

    RE HNIC, does that start during the pennant races or the post-season? (As in, baseball.) If so, it will have to wait. But I'll get there. :)

    Teflonjedi: We're driving north to Albany, hang a left to Buffalo, then north, onto the QEW to Port Credit. That's definitely the most direct route.

    Wow, only the day you move in, you are looking to get online? For one of my blogging friends, it took her more than a month before getting the service after she moved into her Las Vegas home.

taking it

In comments here , James brought up an interesting piece. One of the most common questions I hear up here when yet another example of Bushian idiocy, incompetence, or corruption shows up is, "Why aren't people more outraged by this down there? Why isn't anyone making a fuss?" From up here, it often looks like almost everyone's going along with Bush, though that's certainly not the case. Of course, one of the big reasons for that is that the major news networks don't think it's newsworthy when people do make a fuss. But serious opposition to Bush and his policies is almost invisible up here, except to those who make a special point of following US politics from a liberal perspective. I hear this a lot, and it drives me nuts. Millions of Americans are making a fuss. I know because I used to be one of them. Here's my reply in that same thread: A fuss? We were - oh, that's "they are" - making a huge fuss. But the Bushies control all bra...

pity the 1%

"Cash bonuses on Wall Street are expected to drop by 14 percent during this year's 'bonus season'." Only 20 billion dollars will be doled out, with the average bonus totalling $121,000. How sad. That's billion, with a B. Bankers' trophy dates are sad, too . Be sure to click - and read to the end for maximum impact.

in no way threatening to me

Thanks to ALPF, I have learned that another American war resister is seeking asylum in Canada. I am so out of the loop, lost as I am in the ancient world . Good thing you guys keep me informed. US Army Pvt. Brandon Hughey, 20, told the [Canadian] Immigration and Refugee Board that he refused "to kill people or lose my life under false pretenses." Hughey said he believed the war in Iraq was illegal and his conscience obliged him to desert his Ft. Hood, Texas army base last year. He said when he joined the military at 17 he was looking for a way to put himself through college and respected the military. "I believe some things are worth fighting for, like defending my home and my family," Hughey told the board. "I had no moral objection to fighting back then. In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war. But he later deter...
