Can you tell me how to get.. how to get to Sesame St?
I want to live there... still.
Big Bird was my favourite after much consideration- I thought it was Kermit.. but perhaps it explains my love of Birds' to this day.. I think I'll call Bird "BigBird" he is getting heavier with his daily HEMP consumption.
Bert & Ernie out of the closet  and into the cosmos!   Where they belong.
​Are there two better teachers 'NOW/then' on screen to teach about a loving couple in a relationship, no - IMO they are the best.  Children only see two friends who care very much for each  other & live together.  Bert & Ernie are LOVE - simply that.
  
                Are they gay?   "WHO cares..."  should be the response.  

Who cares?
They are happy & they love each other.  They live together & make it work. WHO cares if they are gay?  I use to think they should be left alone- but now.. I don't care.  That is my opinion about ALL relationships NOW- I don't care as long as the person is happy/content.  Do YOU love /care for whom you live with?  Do they return your affection?  Enjoy.   

As long as there are two consenting ADULTS in a relationship - it is none of my business. 
If it helps a child to understand that two men can live together happily with love in their life - so be it!  I have no problems with them being gay if so... they were inspired by a gay man & his partner & he did a lovely job all these years.  Love is Love.

I am beyond thrilled to say my cartoon of only two days ago -NO LONGER applies!!
Fuck YES!  People can consume cannabis where ever cigarettes can be smoked without a fine - Our government has recognized this would be  unjust and only cause problems - no doubt!  Amen. Now, please don't be a dick:  Do NOT smoke around school yards or places it would bother most- common sense and respect for each other will make this an easier transition ;)  I'm getting so excited... hee hee 

Book Review- 'All the ever afters.'. about Cinderellas step mom- just finished it this morning at 4...  it was an enjoyable read especially the last part- it made me think:  it is the case with many - how what 'we hear -' we think we understand the full situation - and we often do not. WE rarely KNOW how others live behind closed doors.. that too is not my business as long as no one is being hurt- then it is all our business, especially concerning children.  
I recommend  this read.

Are you fine with the upcoming expected fine for cannabis?
My pal Crusty Rusty called me -"$1000.00 !! One Thousand Bucks if your caught puffing not he sidewalk! This is legalization?!" 
The penalty for using cannabis in public is up to $1000 for a first offense and up to $5000 for subsequent offenses.    
What a joke this is.. & I can assure you - I will be smoking in public on occassion- when I feel the need.  There is nothing like a good, strong bong hit or joint to slow down my twitch giving me a bit of a break & time when I NEED that break before I break.  Edibles help the body but don't have the effect I need when smoking/vaping *before I GO any further- I myself DO NOT like to encourage SMOKING with children - I don't draw it in the mouths of certain characters & do not like the fact that Vape pens are being glamorized' because I feel it will encourage more children to try & get addicted to  cigarettes (the kind PROVEN to give you cancer) PLEASE... Don't be a dick - Don't smoke in front of kids (cannabis included) if it can be helped & I've never nor will I ever smoke on a 'school property'.

​BUT- back to these fines- COME on! DO they think Canadians have a sticker that states 'sucker' across our forehead?  This will end up in court- why...  BECAUSE OF THIS:

When I was younger a boyfriend & I were strolling around the block at 10 p.m. he had an open beer - I didn't have anything  - a cop pulled up and gave him a Ticket for just over $50.. the cop was a dick. I lived 8 doors away - it was hot, the stars were out - obvious we were a couple just enjoying the evening (what ever- perhaps he was jealous). BUT the current fine for driving with an open beer/liquor in a car is  ONLY $175.00
What the FUCK? !   Cheers.    This almost encourages drinking & driving!! 

What is wrong with those in power - this is NOT rocket science.
This is NOT right. FIGHT it if you get a ticket for smoking a joint in Public.  
​I won't even bother to compare the numbers of deaths related to each substance in the cartoon - there is another reason Cannabis PROVEN less harmful out of ALL three- YET- the fine $1000. for a 'first time offence?! 
Which leads me to address - I'm pretty sure I STILL see people DAILY out & about smoking a cigarette including on school property. How much are people fined for the PROVEN cancer causing 'coffin sticks' costing out government already due to health reasons? LOTS.
Don't believe me? RESEARCH - Prove me wrong...  

My new book arrived BYW  (below) only  a few pages in & :  
I fucking LOVE it!  
Amen!  lol   Book review soon.  

The coffins have been picked up and I'll show you where you can go 'RIDE' one!!

How do I feel about Doug Fords BUCK -A- BEER...      like this:
          https://globalnews.ca/news/4380647/buck-a-beer-health-impacts/

As for Cannabis in Canada -  politicians tout  "concerns for the children!"
Yet currently Doug Ford discusses and promotes 'buck a beer'...  
Perhaps they are NOT AWARE of the actual facts regarding alcohol, the statistics. the numbers...   Perhaps.

Will it take off - I doubt it.   https://www.narcity.com/ca/on/toronto/news/doug-fords-buck-a-beer-plan-is-already-backfiring-and-heres-how      Talk about messed  up priorities..

 Canada Day July 1st, I sat in the gazebo late & listened & watched the fireworks reflect off the pool...  Poppy was on the sofa, I was in a chair with my feet up on a stool,  in the past Tequila suffered greatly during fireworks - shaking violently, crying & cowering- we were relieved when she went deaf letter in life.. as long as she didn't see them she remained calm so I never sat out and 'enjoyed' them in a while.  Fact - the busies days for the SPCA- after fireworks- when TOO many pets go missing from being terrified.

As I listend to the 'weeeeeeeeeeeeee" and POP!!, BANG!! & "Screeeeeeeeeecccccchhhhhh' of the fireworks - I realized how it is for us- In Canada & America they are sounds associated with JOY.  Fireworks = celebration! Party, food, fun with family & friends! YeeeeeeHawwwwww.  
Suddenly one of my CLOSE neighbours let of a POP!! & Poppy flew off the sofa - under the chair at the same time  'DAISY (big baby)  & Scruffy FLEW up an onto my lap!! lol  
I then realized the girls were not enjoying it as much as I was and how frightening the sounds must be for them so we went in - Bird too was trembling in his cage, when normally he's still flying around the room.

It hit me then... these sounds we associate with Joy - Please forgive me Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico, Somalia... (and others) my ignorance astounds me sometimes- these noises 'we' associate with Joy- you must only associate with death.  So many innocent people live under constant destruction, bombs and screeching across the night sky.  They don't have hot dogs & burgers, no sparklers or kids in *bouncy tents.. they hardly have clean water to drink.  America is responsible for much of the destruction, drones, bombing of innocence - look at Vietnam.  

When you enjoy your fire works tonight stop & listen.
Try to imagine for only a minute istening to those familiar sounds under different circumstances. The screams not from fireworks but from mothers who lose their babies.
Would you want to stay in these countries? Wouldn't you want the chance at a better life? 
At a LIFE??
I would.

No more fireworks for me, I'm done. A waste of money and they hurt wildlife too - Birds especially - do you know  birds drop out of the sky due to shockwaves, hundreds at a time,   I WAS thrilled to READ WE are stopping - YEAH Canada!
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-banff-ditches-big-bang-canada-day-fireworks-to-protect-wildlife/   Another fine example of leading first! 

This just pissed me off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5gXkERQ8M0 
People 'laughing' as their own dogs go after fireworks- some encouraging them- how fucking careless & STUPID  - what if the dogs face gets blown off you ^%$#&* idiots.  
Don't think it can happen? It does ALL the time. 
https://www.causes.com/causes/121564-against-fireworks-in-lebanon/updates/491597-fireworks-harm-and-kill-animals  
Horses have heart attacks.. WTF  is wrong with us that we continue this selfishness? 

You know why? Because we are NOT in Syria, Mexico or any other war torn country listen to screaming, seeing homes destroyed, babies lying gin the streets, orphans because mom was cooking when the apartment exploded, limbs blow off, death and decay in the streets. Instead we'll have our beer & hotdogs, sparklers and laughs as our pets chase fireworks.

I called it 'As above - So below'  because I feel (regrettably)  that America is causing so much pain it's only a matter of time - before they experience the wrath they put on others and then when theses 'Immigrants"  have nothing they are turned  away or PUT in cages AS we are NOW witnessing...   after they blow up their homes & countries  because of GREED.

By the way- Fireworks  kill and harm many children & adults too.

* Just learned today - Bouncy towers/castles harm & kill more kids than cannabis. 
                                           WTF is wrong with our priorities. 

I am aware why I taught kids..  Not only was I blessed to teach them arts, cartooning and crafts - all things they really love - I was able to witness first hand a hundred times over - the genius of kids.  The creativity, hopefulness, energy, absorbency of knowledge, excitement of life & generosity of kids.  

All this "What about the children.." We've got to keep it away from kids!", blah blah blah...
First of all little kids- toddlers- that's up to the parents to educate your child and *KEEP YOUR cannabis safely away from your children and every other thing that can harm them- we all understand this is impossible. But try.. that is what good parents do. 
Heres what I learned about kids, they are:
                               NOT FUCKING STUPID.  Stop treating them as so.

Chances are in many ways with help of the rest of the world, cell phones, iPad & internet they are probably smarter than you. I guarantee there are far more intelligent 8 year olds than old, white, very rich men in USA congress  at this very moment.  (cartoon in the works) kids know more about Cannabis than we ever did about Alcohol growing up - other than it was "cool" at least they are hearing about discussion & they WILL then educate themselves- or they won't - this is life.  Teach them about choices & consequences.
HONESTLY. 

So not allowing creative marketing on cannabis products is just BULLSHIT.  
How are we o.k. with this decision?  What happened to choice?  It is just setting up Canadian businesses for failure and healthy competition. IF the kids who want it - want it- they don't give a shit about advertising. Open a flier this past father day weekend what do I see?  Besides the glossy alcohol flier- just in time to drunk dad up..  - A COORS popcorn maker' on sale and  giant novelty beer cooler' for dad! Plant the seed.  Who doesn't own a free cap given in a case of beer - isn't it a Canadian tradition?  I really do like my "I AM Canadian"  T-shirts & bucket hat Molson Beer puts out, they keep it class IMO by keeping 'molson' very small.  OMGosh it's frustrating when you realize the difference between cannabis and alcohol alone.. worse though - it is insulting to our kids.  
Why confuse them- tell them straight out! Don't use any drugs if you can't help it -it might destroy parts of your brain. Why take the chance?
Give yourself the best advantage in life you can
Don't eat any crap or you'll get fat & it will lead to serous health problems.
Don't start Vaping- it's not attractive and it might just become and expensive habit.
It's ALL stuff, try to experience 'life' - not stuff...      I think that would be a good start.
 
Wouldn't it be nice if we REALLY cared about kids- ALL kids - if we stopped this hypocritical bullshit RIGHT NOW & ALL focused on what IS happening the USA  with separating kids & sticking them in cages like animals- NO art supplies, NO toys, NO blanket < No COMFORT. ANY American that goes along with that, I do not understand your definition of 'Proud American'.  Do you have children?  

                            Ya'll better not believe in Karma. Eh.

Imagine the seed that is being planted in all those young minds & the young minds of all watching. Fear & HATE.

Please let's teach our children, educate them..  not plant seed of confusion, fear and hate.. end the stigma with cannabis or get RID of ALL Alcohol advertising- for the sake of the kids of course.

WOOOHOOOOOOOOO   Cannabis is legalized in canada- now just for 'her debut date.

I've recently discovered this Japanese artist on Twitter..
Go here:
https://twitter.com/avogado6   
His work displays how many of us feel at times during our lives & it's not always enjoyable these are some powerful images.  

It has inspired me to work on some drawings of my own.
It's a way to deal with the issues and educate - doing what I do best.... drawing.
Painting can also be part of a specific healing process, I'm not sure about other artists but once it's OUT on paper it's out of my mind and life goes on.. I guess a drawing purge of sorts.  I drew countless images over the years afraid to show them- not realizing how many  would actually 'relate to my drawings.  We are not so different.
Maybe that reason alone is helpful for those who can't put into words what they are experiencing. 

Viewers be warned. It won't be your usual bear, sloth work.
Tomorrows painting is titled:                   Dear Anthony,  I get it.


Ending on positive note.. my son visited yesterday (with Burger priest for lunch) to do laundry and an oil change, it was nice to just sit in the driveway while he worked, the girls on the front lawn as we all listened to city adventures.  I can hear the appreciation for the best of both worlds Storm has at the moment.  Daisy was thrilled and laid more of a guilt trip on him when he was getting ready to leave that I do! LOL   It's good to be loved.

Our on Forays I've noticed a few things besides the mushrooms, birds & chipmunks - trash.
TRASH - Garbage left by trashy people with no respect of our 'living' room called earth.
Seriously people - what's the problem?
You can't carry that empty coffee cup any further?
That empty pop bottle too heavy to tote now that you consumed the content? 
Worse - every time I've gone on a foray chances are I stumble across  a condom. WTF?  
You are a dirty PIG if you fuck in the woods and leave your condoms there for others to find and nature to insult. 

What the fuck are you doing fucking in the woods in a public parks in the first place?!
This is not acceptable behaviour- there are rooms, hotels - we don't need to find your trace in OUR PUBLIC space - show some respect for others & yourself.

There is nothing nastier than finding a beautiful edible chanterelle - with a used condom beside it.  Following this grossness is cigarette butts!  Talk about ignorance and carelessness  and again I find myself wondering why? Why be out here in the wood surrounded by everything natural & beautiful - peaceful - if you're the type of person to throw your cigarettes  on the forest floor - you don't deserve to be there. 

Many occasions I wear rubbers myself - the GLOVE kind -  & pick up others trash, while I wait for mushroom identification to occur.  It's easy to get a garbage bag full in most cases.  I recently discovered a woman who lives locally on IG - she calls herself The Ditch Bitch- and she cleans up others trash- in my neighbourhood!  I decided to thank her with a little original (below)... and it inspired my gnome.  
Make a difference.. pick up trash - better yet- DON'T drop it in the first place.

A keep your fucking condoms on your weiner until you get into your own car or home thanks -  for all those who do leave 'parts of themselves' in the forrest, your trashy treasures left for us to discover: 
​May a tick find and bite you where it counts.

Does anyone think this is going to get "better" - let's face it.. Trump is jealous of Trudeau
look at him, it's obvious and jealous of his style - sock envy.  It's going to get worse.

Trump is no more than a bully and his insecurities are glowing around the world  & his American advisors  jump on the band wagon-  "A special place in Hell"  for Trudeau-, wow.. whats up America?  Is this the American who believes in God then? Phhhhbt.   The one that is against other things like 'Thou shall NOT kill?' But sells & owns more guns than any other  country -  when was the last school shooting - so many I can't recall.   Hmm,  I'm sure there is a special place in Hell - and it's not for Trudeau - chances are its for a racist, pussy grabbing, selfish, hate feeling, LIAR, wall building bully. 

What's happening here..  how are Canadians reacting?

Canadians are not too thrilled with this latest performance put on by your "president" Eh. 
Are we bitching about it- a little..    it's great Americans are saying #thanksCanada  trying to make up of the actions of the biggest bully on the planet. Isn't that sad  alone - the USA is represented by the most hated man who is also the biggest 'bully' amongst other things..  He's not taken seriously any longer, his lies documented daily.
He is only seen as a BIG JOKE, who is all about greed. 
It appears  he is not capable of caring for any one other than himself.
Not all of us are as diplomatic as Trudeau - please.  Enough is enough.

What are Canadians saying?  It's not what we are saying - it's what we are doing.
It's Simple  & obvious...  Hurt Trump where it hurts him the most:
Bye America...  because here right 'now'  many will only BUY Canadian.
           BUY Canadian.  

Why would any sane Canadian continue to support TRUMP & all he greeds for?

Ironically the last few purchases I've made have been from the USA, people (artists) off of instagram - because I love their work- I like them  but come on, enough is enough..  when will Americans stand up to him and say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!  
If you won't support us or yourself by standing up to this menace - we won't support you with our dollar.  Would you?
Would you support us if Trudeau said the things your "President"  & his paid cohorts spew? 

In one way I feel sad for those I have been supporting (they might not agree with what's happened) but in all reality anything I have been getting in the USA - I CAN & WILL find the same service, goods made right here Made in Canada.  Every store I enter I'm asking "what's made in Canada?"  from Dog treats to produce to our new furniture.  
NOTHING USA until you get rid of that ASS.  
Do Americans think they will come out unscathed regarding these Tariffs, will they continue to support Trumps Tantrum Tweets?  Time will tell.

We Canadians do have reputation for being nice, kind - I believe some mistake this for "Weak" I believe they will soon find out the two are not the same.  

NOW with Cannabis I see a lot of Americans venturing up here wanting to do business - yes, I guess so - a couple remind of Trump - GREED is the main goal- do some research- who will you invest your Canadian Cannabis $$$ with?  
Please consider - it might seem insignificant 'little purchases" but they are far from it.  
They add up.

​People will treat you as you let them.. Trump will treat us - as WE let him.

Hurt Trump where HE will notice it most.  
BUY Canadian.
Don't mistake our kindness for weakness...
