Here in the north summer is rapidly coming to a close, overnight low's of 5C mean that frost won't be far off. The leaves will soon start turning.
We're going to have a fire in the backyard tonight. I think fires on chilly nights are little bit better, because the fire actually means something to you. Also this time of year we don't have to stay up nearly so late as it's starting to get dark already at around 8:30pm. Another reminder that soon I will be driving both to and from work in the dark.

It's a funny thing here in Canada how inundated we are by american media. It seems funny that even though we have our own political issues taking place the focus is still so much on the presidential election to the south of us. But, then again politics there really does have a big impact on our economy. Fun fact for those of you who don't know, but Canada is, at this time, the largest nation in the world, and yet we have a population slightly less than that of the state of California.

Here on SG, everyone is very liberal minded, it's pretty much an online "blue state". So this is largely preaching to the quire, but the Republicans really do amaze me, the fact that they can so openly and callously attack the poor and middle class, "i'm not paying for healthcare for poor people!", "education for the rich", and "organized labor should be abolished" (it's spelled labour here), and then try to blindside the public with social issues like abortion and their anti-gay agenda still expecting everyone to vote for them. I hope people are smarter than that. I really hope people realize that there is an actual war between the rich and the poor going on in this world right now, and that the republicans are not on their side.

It concerns me that young people don't educate themselves about politics, and don't get out there and vote.
Sometimes I think this world won't change until all the baby-boomers have died off, and then the rest of us can have our say again. By then I'll be in my late 50's. Too late by then? Maybe.
