Blue Jays 9 - Yankees 2. Watched this one through the computer. Incredibly clear detail.

We've talked about how difficult it is to time plants such as Easter Lilies to bloom when you want them to. Well, that's nothing!
Our "Christmas" Cactus is terribly confused these days. A few years ago it decided to advance its blooming date to Hallowe'en, probably to celebrate the anniversary of my and Mardi's first date. But, after blooming last Hallowe'en, it's now blooming again for Easter.
Twice the bang for the buck (to quote that stupid Amazon commercial)!

I'm trying to digest and make sense of the news that the Liberals and the NDP are in a new relationship. On the one hand, it probably won't make a big difference to the lives of Canadians. We may get some more governmental goodies but that's what we have come to expect so it's not a big deal.
On top of our previous debt, and the hundreds of billions more that have accumulated as we blithely spent our way through the economic costs of the pandemic, the promises to the NDP will simply add a few hundred billion more. But who cares?
Well, it seems to me that one upshot of this "marriage" and its political priorities is that there will be no money left or available to meet our defense responsibilities. Excuses and double speak are coming.
Sorry Ukrainians. Sorry NATO partners. Sorry world.

Stay well.
