Wow, I emailed the Justice Minister about Same Sex marriage this morning (See Sue "Natter 12b: superstitious? us?" Jul 2, 2003 6:07:11 am PDT), and I cc's Alexa and the PM's Office. I just got a somewhat canned response back from the PMO. Canned, but still a good turnaorund.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

I can't even.
Congrats to BC folks on the Olympics!
I had a lovely Canada Day, went out and wandered around celebrations in the sun and listened to a really good folk singer do a lot of Neil Young, while sipping iced tea and eating date squares. It seemed like every single person had some kind of Canada theme t-shirt, thanks to Molson giving tons of them away in cases.
Uh. That's all I got. (Waves)

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
That is good turnaround, Sue. Was it on topic? One time my friend Joanne emailed the Justice Department about judicial misbehaviour (when there were all those cases of judges saying offensive things), and got an answer saying "Many other citizens are also concerned that sentences are too lenient." She was not impressed.
Yesterday's community centre Canada Day celebration went very well. I spent two and a half hours in charge of the "Fishing Pond". At least it was in the shade! We taped the CBC Newsworld special, and it all turned out quite well.

It was pretty canned 'Ouise. "This topic you raised is of great interest ot the prime minister." type of response, without mentioning the topic by name. but they did get the right department of responsibility.

Well hey, if you're with the right department, that's close enough for government work.

Right, how 'bout 'Good enough for the girl I used to go with.'
Or 'Enh, you'd never spot it from an airplane.'

Thanks for all the fish.
