Some happy to enjoy

Oh, aren't we all just tired of feeling like everything everywhere all at once is going wrong? 

I can hardly stand to hear Trump anymore, or Poilievre, or listen to MSNBC - or whatever they are called now.

So I thought I should just post a few of the happy posts I've seen lately. At least it will give me a blog post to look back on when I need a lift.

I guess 2026 is the Year of the Horse and that's great isn't it.

So, I say, nobody has actually seen the horses? No, she says, but a myth about wild horses is just as real as the wild itself. She says that everything, at its best, is a wild horse. The earth is a wild horse, she says, and so is the sky. She says you're a wild horse and so am I. https://open.substack.com/pub/shermanalexie/p/the-year-of-horses-wild?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

I like to name years in advance. I'm calling 2026, “Triumph".

Next, I also remember the Battle of Billings Bridge and the plaque posted a year later by volunteers, which was taken down by the City of Ottawa a lot faster than they got rid of the Convoy:

Great news:

I watched the last Stranger Things finale and it was, well, not bad, really. At least they didn't all just wake up from a dream - though I still don't know why El ... nope, no spoilers. 

Anyway, I agree The Thing is an outstanding movie too:

Plus The Thing is a Christmas movie!
