Post Mortem

Yesterday's post drew some thoughtful comments.  And Kathryn's response would seem to prove the white privilege theory.  It also shows that Hamilton Police are perhaps trained and directed in a better way.

Regarding the white privilege theory, I wonder how my other daughters, Barbara and Jo-Ann would have fared in Kathryn's circumstance.  Maybe not so well, particularly in some parts of the province.

Interestingly, when they both worked for Six Nations, they were subjected to reverse discrimination from the traditional side of the community because they had lived off Six Nations for most of their lives.  Sadly, even within races there is discrimination.

As far as the Hamilton Police are concerned, it's worth noting that Mardi's son A.J. and granddaughter Reggie occasionally join up with a member of the force to hand out the touques that Mardi knits along with Tim cards.  The female police officer knows the homeless by name and looks out for their welfare.  Kudos to A.J. for teaching Reggie a life lesson while helping those who need a hand up.

Today was golf day at MontHill.  They now have plastic dividers on the carts so that two unrelated people can ride together.  

Calvin was my riding partner.

Following the golf game, Matt brought out the first aid (beer and pop).  We met at our new gathering place behind the 9th green on the Gold 9.

Thanks Matt!

A hot day, but a good one.

I have had my first request to delete a recipient from the blog.  If anyone else would like to follow suit please let me know.  No hard feelings - I have been torn between carrying on and quitting, knowing that some are tired of getting inundated by emails, while others seem to enjoy the connections.  Best if the list only has the latter so I don't have to feel guilty.

Tomorrow is a greenhouse day.  May not be much news.  Stay well.
