| 2. I'm tuning in to the CBC news, tonight |
|
One of the benefits of living so close to Canada is being able to pick up a Canadian tv station. The Sunday news show indicated a lot of excitement for the visit, even though it would be brief, and taking place, mostly, indoors.

| 7. You're most welcome, lovely is such a great word. |

I have to admit to getting a bit emotional lately when seeing moments like this and the other ones in the Hillary visiting Indonesia thread.
Tears of joy are an unusual experience after 8 years of disgust & facepalms.

| 6. Telling statement by Peter Mansbridge |
|
Peter Mansbridge, CBC newsanchor, On David Schuster's show. I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like, when he met President Obama, earlier, he was impressed that President Obama very much in touch with, and knowledgable about the issues that concern Canadians. And then he added, that was something he was not accustomed to seeing, for a while. Certainly not from the last President.
Oh, Snap!
