12:05.. Who's importance is being inflated? The plaintiff or defendant? Perhaps both.

And perhaps neither. 

Much  of my time  is spent with left foot elevated on a stool  to minimize swelling and 

discomfort. My attention is diverted by the birds,chipmunks and squirrels feasting from the cornucopia of seeds and cornmeal spread out on a table ,a bird feeder and the railings of my deck by Heather.

Stephanie's old lab Mickey goes in an out, He sits on the edge of the deck gazing upon his territory,

 raising his nose to the wind occasionally, nostrils trembling with the hint of something or other. 

CJ the calico cat has equal opportunity to exit but doesn't always. He sniffs the air and decides when discretion is the better part of valour.

Cardinals are never so brilliant as with winter contrast of fresh snow, ice blue skies and dark cedar green hedges. Young males are tall and slim and even more brilliant in their new red plumage.

A blue jay came to visit a couple of weeks ago. Big and handsome and startling blue. He did not return. someone else is probably feeding him peanuts. 

The squirrels' acrobatics are entertaining to watch. But the food isn't intended  for them. And  they're so greedy. No matter how much they eat, it never seems to be enough.

Half a dozen mourning doves came to visit a couple of times  and clustered  in a corner  and a pair of mangy starlings also check in now and then. . Gold finches too have made a single appearance. All other little domestic birds gather in numbers  and appear to be very fine and healthy

 and enjoying the mild winter. 

I listen to a T.V. expert telling me how wildlife is dying out in the urbanization and climate change and look out my window and watch the complete opposite happening. 

It reminds me of how  legendary English gardens faded when coal  burning stopped because  choking fog was killing people  from the chemicals  in the atmosphere be fire they washed ceased down into the soil.

Contradictions exist everywhere . 

This is true . But this is also true. Weight of evidence is critical. Or not. Depending on judgement exercised. 

Our current conversation is focused on Ontario Justice Mark Edward's  decision and trying to make sense of it. 

Yesterday I struggled with the concept of "an Old Boys' Club" at work. Tangled myself  in knots and abandoned that  angle. 

There was no such local  network backing Morris and her friends. It's not the answer.

But there is an answer.
