Sure as a Shit in a Goose...


This would seem to be Malcolm's way of expressing a universal certainty - geese must be a lot like politicians at election time - like that old question about Bears in the woods - it's "fer sure". I was left feeling this way after this past weekend - We had a cold snap, followed by a snow storm - the recent warm weather had people thinking that Mother Nature had spared New Brunswick of her cruelest joke - but like a workaholic that finally comes home after a long week away- the negelcted children get lots of attention on the weekend. I knew it was going to happen, it had to - It's winter in the Maritimes.

I know that this expression seeminly flies directly in the face of another great Malcolmism "Nothing is Never, or Always..." but it actually supports it - actually more about reliability and consistancy - that sooner or later that goose is going to have to take a dump - less of a question of if, and more a question of when.

Change is the only constant - someone famous said that one time - and on that note My Sister started a new Job at SNB today - after 4 years at the Delta GRS she decided that she needed a change - so bravely change she did, good work Megs. Everything can change in a second, or in the Olympics in a 1000000 of one (In the Luge) - So appreciate the snow and the cold - even if you just complain - appreciate it, because as the seasons change we'll find other things to complain about. So take this opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Snow and Cold.

Fairly soon you could be complaining about the flooding or the mud or the heat or something sure as a shit in a goose...
