Arrives at the battlefield … “OK … who are we fighting for today?”

The Knight in full armour: … LARS!!! I can’t see!!! … where are you!!! … and this cape you gave me isn’t helping!!

They were easily able to attack their opponent who was bent over in hysterical laughter as they saw this warrior approach them.

Both my parents were born and raised in the wilderness and I was part of the first generation to be born in a modern hospital.

But even saying that … my family has one or two Europeans (probably French, Irish or Scottish) in there somewhere. We have a legend of one of our great grandfathers who was called ‘the white’ … which probably meant that he wasn’t Indigenous.

So, like you, I have a fraction of European blood as well … but in the grander scheme of the universe, we are all siblings in this reality we call life. Nice to meet you my friend.

At least this time, someone didn’t try to excavate down to the bottom layers using dynamite

especially when the road construction pretty much excavated and destroyed part of the whole outline of the whole

it would be like building a highway right next to the Colosseum in Rome and tearing down part of the wall to accommodate the new highway.

Also in terms of mentality for the soldiers. Before WWI, they thought of war as a heroic historic thing where men marched in lines in open fields, maybe shot at one another and then everyone fought in hand to hand combat … which meant everyone believed that it was the strongest, fastest and most skilled warriors who became the victors of war. It was a great thing which meant that you had to dress in bright beautiful colours because everyone was in full view of one another and up close.

WWI arrives and all those young guys who thought they were going to fight each other with swords, knives or their bare hands instead spent years sitting in the mud, never seeing the enemy, having sniper fire whiz past their heads and endless days of bombing that blew out their ear drums, shook them all day and night and sent the fear of god into them without ever having fought anyone in close combat.

It really must have been a very rude awakening for anyone wanting to be part of WWI at the start.

Another example of how governments are more willing to place at risk or even danger the lives of their citizens and their soldiers … rather than affect the bottom line of a company or corporation.

I had an old friend of mine with a problem with is old cottage. The interior walls had been changed so often that it had weakened the exterior walls that were beginning to buckle out from the weight of the roof.

I suggested we build some flying buttresses to support the building … then I had to take several minutes to explain to him about gothic architecture.

Classic … ‘let’s put the women next to the entrance/exit’

The airspaces in the wings are filled with freedom and democracy

If they had built and released this a year earlier … we would be speaking German right now … and as an Indigenous Canadian, I’d probably be living in a human zoo.

Holding the ‘Dansen Uchiwa’: … that’s a paddlin’
