Alberta politics

[OldPrairieRedNeck]

Merv, I'm at the age now where politics really doesn't get me riled up one way or the other anymore,

I hear ya Ron! I too have seen a lot of coming and going in the political field but I still am totally amused by all the "sky is falling" panic every time there is a change. Election time kind of reminds me of feeding pigs - a lot of pushing, shoving and squealing but when its all over and the pecking order is established you still just have a bunch of fat butts lined up at the trough!

There are exceptions though and one of them is our local Wild Rose candidate. I have seen him in action and he does genuinely care about his constituents. I would vote for him no matter what party he belonged to!

We have lots of meadow larks out here Ron, every year they sing to us from the tops of the trees around our house and from fence posts all around here. This shot was a lucky one I took coming out of a lease just south of Macklin Saskatewan about 2 years ago.
