Famine mentality is a new phrase for me. I just heard it in the past few days. I have heard of poverty mentality and I think it鈥檚 nearly the same thing. Poverty is something that should not exist in Canada nor should it exist in anyone鈥檚 mindset in this country. In other countries, it probably shouldn鈥檛 exist either but I don鈥檛 know a lot about other countries. I have only travelled on a very limited basis in Korea and the United States. But Canada I do know and western Canada I know pretty well. I know 水果视频 and western 水果视频 very well.

There are times when my granddaughter and her two dogs join Henry Hoover, Miss Daisy and me for a walk. Whereas my two are smallish, under twelve pounds, Meeka and Kaara are much bigger. One is a Lab/Retriever cross and the other a Lab/Shepherd cross. Beautiful golden dogs with bounding and boundless energy! We look quite the sight; my two dogs behaving perfectly (Meeka can bowl them over with a breath) and the two large creatures leading our pack. To give them and us some freedom on a walk, we have, on occasion, headed north to the ball diamonds, loading all of us into a vehicle to get there. The first time worked wonderfully well.

An exceptionally high tide, so the story goes, had washed hundreds of starfish on to a west coast beach. As the tide receded, the starfish became stranded. Without water to cover them, it was only a matter of time before they would die.

Last week, I had the opportunity to catch up on some podcasts鈥� one of which was author Malcolm Gladwell鈥檚 new podcast, Revisionist History. One episode, called 鈥淗allelujah鈥�, particularly stood out. It looks at two kinds of talent, the kind that bursts on to the scene and the kind that takes some time to develop.
