Another water polo tournament done

Nothing interferes with my wine drinking than a full tournament. This was in nearby Guelph, but involved a lot of driving.

I love this picture! I think there should be an ad campaign "If your girls aren't playing water polo, what are they doing?"

This tournament has been a great recovery from all that Bruce mad thing. I resolve not to mention another thing about those guys for at least a week! They just can't do anything worse!

Simplified Geology Leads to Cookie-Cutter Site Evaluations

Article

With the grade-school geology that the Bruce Mob specializes in, it costs them nothing to hoist up another site flag. Like their 'Deep Repository Branch', they define all of Ontario geology as 'Stable Paleozoic over Stable Pre-Cambrian'. Considering that they and the Feds have adopted this 'Site a Week' strategy to annoy the infinitely slow Province, we take great joy in predicting their next moves.

What terrible sites will they come up with in the next few months?

Sarnia: With the extraction of salt and oil, giant sinkholes are now constantly opening up. There's an old power station in the middle of this mess, perfect for the BM!

Cornwall: Site of the famous 1944 earthquake, this area could use the jobs, and would welcome a phony site plan.

North Channel: I did the geophysics there, and found there was not a speck of solid rock big enough for a nuclear power plant. Perfect!

Ottawa River: There are several good sites on the Ottawa Graben, the biggest fracture zone in eastern Canada. The really hot zones are where the Ontario Megathrusts rip up the graben. Chalk River is one such site, so this would be great for the BM, and the Feds would like it too, since it takes attention away from the junky isotope factory.

Once they use up these sites, I could come up with some more, and the Province still won't have started anything at Darlington!

Ontario Declares Nuky-Nan to be a Phony Tactic

Oh, all those lobby meetings with the Federal Minister, have landed the Bruce Mob in Ontario's bad books. What is the BM doing with this? Why have they gone over to the Feds, to make this big production?

My theory is that it's a diversionary tactic to get the Bruce C swamp approved right away. They are saying to the Feds "Look, we can pick an even worse site than Bruce!".

These are really hilarious fun and games!
