It has been too long since I wrote anything and I need to get at it, but my brain is so blank. School, the farm have been consuming all my time to the exclusion of almost everything else. Except my running of course, though it has suffered a bit also. Still, another test coming up! I am running a 10k this weekend at the Saskatoon Police 10k/Half-Marathon. I am hoping that my training will allow a 57 minute time. In any event, I plan to run hard and have a lot of fun!

On the political side of things, I am totally entranced by the current brawl over long-gun registry. While I realize that a lot of what is currently being said is grandstanding, some of the 'hate' and violence/inflammatory language seems to be meant to be taken seriously, and that scares me. I would like to think that we are a nation of law and a people who believe in the rule of law. Garry Breitkreuz apologized for what he staffer wrote but his apology seemed to be pretty close to an affirmation of what had been written originally. Do our legislators approve of violent and unlawful responses to opposition to their opinions and desires?
