March 27, 2013: Hey friends,
Spring has found us here in Edmonton with a trickle of melting snow and birdsong. Funny time to be driving northward and back into the jaws of winter, but nevertheless I'm ever so grateful for the chance to make my first foray into Canada's territories... read my words from the road |

"Recent polls have shown growing public dissatisfaction with the president's handling of the war in Iraq in the face of a persistent insurgency and the mounting U.S. death toll."-AP, my emphasis added |
| They forgot to mention the price at the pump, which seems to be people's #1 concern... Civilians in iraq evidently don't matter to US military planners, or to the mass media... what will it take for their lives to matter to the US public? |
