Coincidences?
Life is full of coincidences, things that occupy the same temporal space, things that happen at the same time through some fluke of cosmic chance. Or perhaps that’s what they want us to believe…
… take a few seemingly unrelated facts…
There is another school of thought that holds that in relationship with the gods, fate, etc, we are like flies to mischievous boys, we get our wings ripped off for sport. Perhaps these many things are not coincidental at all, but are part of some deeper metaphor of what is going on in our lives. For example, take a few seemingly unrelated facts;
- Winter has come back with a vengeance. Fluffy white snow continues to cascade from the heavens with the majority of it landing in my driveway.
- A new Conservative government is being sworn in today in Ottawa. Some say a breeze of fresh air, some say a meaner leaner Canada, some say give it 6 months and we’re back at the polls again.
- I’m sick at home with some ghastly urban retrovirus masquerading as a common-cold-slash-flu waiting to morph into the pandemic I know it to be.
Seemingly unrelated right? Three innocent little facts that on the surface have no links to each other at all? Well I disagree! It might just be the cold medications talking, but it is my contention that the Conservative freeze on Liberal extravagance in Ottawa, injected supervirus sustaining cold air into the Jet Stream above Toronto, raining fluffy white infected powder onto our unsuspecting heads resulting in aches, pains, runny nose and a host of other symptoms. Curse you Prime Minister Harper!
On the other hand, I could just be over reacting.

Hey my driveway in Upper Michian just filles up with snow. My weather man forgot to tell me it was caused by Canada’s new Prime Minister. Thanks for the information. It will make shoveling that much easier.
In the old government federal employees would come and shovel your driveway amd make hot coffee in return for a promise to vote for the government. So far this guy has been in power for less than a day and nothing
Not even a hint of snow shovel pork barrel corruption.
Ric,
I can’t argue with your logic…Especially since the winds probably came from the south where there is a monsterous virus whitening everthing in its path…Aubrey and I just spent three weeks on the back side of the mend.
Tammi - hope that you are feeling much better.. I’ve recovered, but the snow has remained.
