Bad joke of the day

The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck


The cartoon mentions Harper, but it’s also applicable for the right-wing nutjob contingent in the US.


Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.

To oil or not to oil? To US or to Euro? To growth or to bonds? Those are the questions….

Trees fart pollen and that makes people sneeze.
Auntie Nat comped us tickets to go see Kooza in Bern. It was Bean’s first show and he loved it :-) We went to see the bears in the old town, did a bit of window shopping, then went to the show. After that, we all had a late (in the case of Bean, very late) dinner at Da Carlo in Lausanne and headed home. All in all, a good but tiring day.
