This is the big jungle-y hill near our place
Disappointing to hear that things are going backwards under the new conservative Canadian regime. The Prime Minister has fired his Science Advisor and abolished the post, and has appointed a creationist chiropractor/acupuncturist as his science minister ...as a result, many valuable research programmes are facing the chop. A creationist as science minister? ... yep, sounds like progress to me.
Meanwhile, our own health system gets daily more dysfunctional, while the Prime Minister hesitates to grasp the nettle and take over, as he promised to do.
We had to replace the air-conditioning at enormous cost, (I know, but it's essential to life here) and I had a system-crash ... it's been a very expensive few months, initiating our very own mini- International Financial Crisis ... thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster we own the house.
