very bad news

It's Buster. His glaucoma has taken a sharp turn for the worse. I think it may be the end of the line. I'm too upset to write much more. Be back with the full story when I can.

Thanks in advance, I know you are pulling for us.

    I'm sure hoping it's just another phase. It's an awful thing to face at any time, but particularly as you're just settling into a new life. I'll be thinking of you all and hoping for the best for Buster... whatever that may be.

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.

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...

new york run by the swiss

Remember back aways we were talking about Peter Ustinov's description of Toronto : New York run by the Swiss? There was some discussion about whether it was a compliment or an insult, although most people agreed it was meant as praise. I think we've gotten our first taste of that. Both our landlord and next-door neighbour filled us in on the recycling laws for the Peel region of Ontario. This is efficiency New York could only dream of. Or scoff at, as the case may be. [Canadian readers, I'm sure you'll want to go off and do your laundry now.] All waste is picked up once a week. Recycling is separated, similar to how it's done in New York. But there's a limit on how much non-recycling trash you can leave out: three bags per household. Certain days are unlimited trash days. Those seem to be after most major holidays, including tomorrow, post-Labour Day, so we've moved in at a good time, trash-wise. Except for those unlimited days, if you leave more than the t...
