I'm making it official. :(

My cyber Canuckian friend,  As much as I try to avoid any involvement with social media, AKAQA was, for years, my exception and occasional refuge. Whatever the reasons are behind its’ ultimate demise, I still remember with fondness its’ glory days when opposing opinions flooded the site and made it addictive. For quite some time, too much effort by a very select few of the moderators that chose to assume the role, was spent sanitizing the site and trying to make it their own. You were not one of them, Ducky. You always left plenty of rope out there for people to participate actively and openly. 

Most importantly, however, is the current and future state of your health. I hope that it is no more than a bump in the road. I wish you the very best for many more years ahead and want to thank you for having moderated me for years and for the many laughs we’ve had along the way. 

Cheers ,

digger.

HEY, where is everybody?

Hi Ducky. It's been a long year of lock downs, hasn't it? I hope you get to cheer on your local hockey team next fall. I miss the travel, live football and soccer ( or as the rest of the world calls it "American Football" and Football ) and the occasional live theater. Summers aren't the same without the steady flow of foodie and music festivals. Doesn't appear any of that will be happening anytime soon either.

Let's hope these elusive vaccines work their magic and that we don't go through this again for another 50 years. Spring is around the corner and outdoor strolls are something to look forward to.

To all the old AkaQA regulars, keep healthy. Cheers !

Do you leave your grocery cart in the middle of the parking lot or.....
Answers: 11 Views: 3877 Rating: 6 Posted: 4 years ago

Well, it depends on whether you're referring to shopping carts that require a 25 cents coin to liberate or not.

If you watched the debate between Trump and Biden, etmmm

There's a simple solution. It's a moderator with a Mute button.

After Trump trivialized the wearing of masks, now he has contracted the corona virus. What do you think?

Did the courts get it right,what do you think..?????????
Answers: 9 Views: 1338 Rating: 10 Posted: 5 years ago

No, the seven got it wrong. Sixty years ago, they would have ruled against an inter-racial marriage cake. Not anymore. The court has "evolved" on issues of race. One day, it will do so on issues of same sex marriage. Don't forget that back then, people of deep faith believed in the merits of racial segregation. So did the courts...on grounds of "freedom of religious beliefs".  

The argument that a business owner has the "right" to serve or deny service to whomever he sees fit is fallacious. Is it OK for the baker to refuse baking our very own Ducky a birthday cake merely because she is a "spoiled" Canadian,  as President Trump declared the other day ? 

I say NOT !  Let her eat cake...and be it a maple lace one at that...baked at gunpoint if need be, by that Colorado  baker.

When describing a small city, we often hear.....

...a town big enough for a junior hockey team but nowhere near large enough to ever have an NHL franchise.

What are the smells that remind you most of your childhood?
Answers: 31 Views: 2899 Rating: 21 Posted: 11 years ago

The smell of the pocket of a worn, genuine cowhide leather baseball mitt.

Is there any area of your life where you are the gullible type?
Answers: 8 Views: 946 Rating: 8 Posted: 5 years ago
No way. Show me the unfettered evidence and then I'll believe it. That may explain why I'm a devout Atheist; am not yet sold on Climate Change being caused by human activity and still await O.J. Simpson to find the real killer before I conclude that he's innocent.
