David Bowie on roller skates————————————- Roller disco dancing
Another time another place. I loved roller skating to music, feeling the beat, and if you had someone to skate with, you could waltz and two-step doing some pretty fancy stuff. I believe the David Bowie advert, was for a big disco roller event in Australia. I didn’t get to Australia to strut my stuff, but I did head for the board walk in California along the ocean. Such exhilarating times, you met others with the same interest and you got to chat and just hang out.
Now I’m told, social interaction is not allowed or thought to be a safe thing to do. When out at gatherings, or in parks, it is advised to stay in pairs, and not talk to strangers. I hear on the radio and television news broadcasts, always about shootings, robberies, and lately, accidents due to people texting or answering their cell phones.
It is common to show movies and have television series(s) that include violence, abduction, shootings and fights. And we wonder why there is a rise in gun shootings, stabbings and gang violence ?? Really?
Lately here, there is a hue and cry about the legalization of marijuana as if it has suddenly thrust itself on our society, ?????????? to my knowledge it was around long long before my time, and I’ve been around for a while.
There is a spoke missing in the wheel of “common sense” it seems to be all about stirring up rather than bringing peace or a state of calm. When it appears that the media, the box office – entertainment (movies) is always after sensational, or totally outlandish behaviours to bring in the monies or “ratings”
I don’t know readers.. as one cartoon character used to say “thatttttttsss all folks”

Good Morning everyone…
My roller skates didn’t have pink wheels, but I did have pink laces. I would still go roller skating if we had the kind I am used to. Mind you .. in my day we skated in special roller rinks, that were covered, and had hardwood floors. Before my time, they had bands that played for the skaters, by the time I was into skating, there was an organist who would play from 8 – 10 sometimes 11 for those of us who wanted to dance (on skates). Two steps and waltzes.
Happy Dec. 25th. a snow day here in Ottawa. There will be no shortage of snow for the guys and gals who love snow activities There is a gentle falling of snowflakes as I look out the window I see them drifting by, almost like an animation. I’ve been out to shovel the backyard, (not the driveway, no, the backyard) this is an annual event, that begins to prepare trails for the dogs to exercise and run when they are yard bound.
Oh happy days, get to wear bell bottoms again. Great in winter when you want your boots to find under them.. and really, fashion or not.. they are comfy, slimming and just plain, me. tra la la, la la la laaaaaa….
I loved this little orange tree. Every year I would prune it back and bring it inside so it could survive our Canadian winters. Circumstances were that it grew very big, and we simply were unable to bring it back in.
