A few observations....

....on the death of Colin Powell.  What a serious man, but when I learned that he had been born in Harlem to Jamaican immigrant parents, a few lights went on.  He was not from "The hood"; his background was influenced by the British heritage in Jamaica, where the Queen remains Head of State.  Much of these values must have rubbed off on him because Commonwealth values are very different from the American variety.

He was an example to all -- especially to the Canadian military, the males members of which can't seem to control their primal urges.  Never a hint or whiff of scandal touched this Four-Star General.  May he rest in peace.

Happening all over, apparently.  The manufacturers of these turbines have certainly sold a bogus bill of goods to the green gang.
