As I long suspected… most European countries are still a bunch of wimpish pussies.

At the latest NATO meeting, apparently they all agreed to do more – but upon reading the website of the German government, they are still wimping out and not redeploying ANY troops to other parts of Afghanistan – Check out the story!

I bought three more books by Patrick Robinson – awesome writer.  I love the Arnold Morgan character in his books.  Too bad there isn’t a real life character like that.  Mebbe there is, as I suppose they have to be loosely based upon someone – that’s usually the deal with inspiration for stories with authors and movie directors.

It’s getting extremely cold around here – other night it was -25 degrees.  The Toyota Matrix I bought is proving to be a worthwhile investment.  I went off the road on the reserve yesterday and came within about six inches of hitting a fire hydrant.  I couldn’t back up onto the road – as my tyres are not very good.  But at least the four-wheel drive allowed me to go further off the road in clean snow, turn around and make a run at it – which got me back onto the road.

Nicolas is sick.  Got an ear infection.  The Nurse Practitioner prescribed him Amoxycylin.  Should clear it up quickly hopefully.

I’m putting into action the words I preach about hatred on the reserve… I’ve cause to not like a few people on the reserve, and whilst there’s a few people I’d rather not hang out with, I no longer hate anyone or want them dead.  I came to the harsh realisation that it just isn’t achieving anything, and only serves to bring my health level down.  So being polite and civil to people on the reserve that I used to not like, I think is going to help me tremendously.  I don’t mind if those people still think I’m a bastard – that’s their prerogative, but I am going to go out of my way to be polite and accomodating.
