March
I used to maintain a blog called Fahrenheit to Celsius: An American In Canada. As I started to work with WordPress, I abandoned that blog, which was on the Blogger platform. WordPress seemed more useful. And then Facebook took off.
But eventually, the 2016 Election happened, and Donald Trump is going to be inaugurated President of the United States next week. This seems like as good a time as any to return to writing about Canadian and American culture and politics.
This weekend, Rep. John Lewis said he didn’t regard Trump as a legitimate President, and urged a boycott of the Inauguration. Donald Trump fired back on Twitter, apparently unaware of who John Lewis actually is or what congressional district he represents.

After the Saturday night tweet fest, Lewis’ book, March, was back-ordered on Amazon..com.
Let’s see how The Art of the Deal is doing. Ah, no problem.
Well, what about March on Amazon.ca?

Dépaysement: Decoy Deer
Dépaysement translates roughly as “change of scenery.” It translates even more roughly as “The feeling that comes from not being in one’s own country.”
I am an American in Canada. It takes some getting used to.
This article appeared in a local online news website.
There are so many things about this I just do not understand.
Here’s a PDF of the story: Kelowna man fined for shooting at decoy deer in Joe Rich
Thanks to The Huffington Post (believe it or not) for this.
