3rd Pull to Start the Decade's Outboard Motor
|
As my fellow Newfoundlander, Rick Mercer, said when he hosted this year’s New Year’s Eve on CBC television, there is reason to be optimistic about 2022. Like Rick, I believe the future is bright.
Rick shared with us his nautical metaphor, and it was so good, I wanted you to see it.
Rick did his portion of the NYE show from Newfoundland, and, as is his tradition, did a sort of 'rant' - this time walking around Port de Grave Harbour. He shared a story about his Uncle Sol who had a boat with an outboard motor, and he was always fussing with it. And how Uncle Sol often had 2 attempts at starting his boat, with the pulls sputtering and failing out. No matter what he did, it would never start on the 1st or 2nd pull. It would sputter. It would putter. Then go silent.
But Uncle Sol’s 3rd pull got the outboard motor to catch.
As Rick shared, the 3rd pull was the charm. The 3rd pull was glorious, and the outboard motor came to life.
As Rick says, the last two years were the first 2 pulls of the decade. And this year, we'll take off, and we won't look back.

"How to Heal" - Google 2021 Year in Search
This is quite an ad/ message from Google — Year In Search 2021 . Give it a watch - "how to heal"
In a year that continued to test many, the world searched “how to heal” more than ever. Whether they’re taking care of mental health, honoring a loved one, or reuniting with family, people are finding ways to come back stronger than before. Explore more trends from the year at https://yearinsearch.google.
In case you'd never heard of CLIA, it is the Cruise Lines International Association - CLIA . It is a Non-Governmental
Organization (NGO). CLIA is the world’s largest cruise industry trade association and the leading authority of the global cruise community.
I have the full CLIA Statement in Response to CDC Level 4 Warning Against Cruise Travel (30 December 2021).
And, give consideration to your activities in and around where you live right now. Did you stand in any lines this weekend? Were you asked to show a vaccine passport? The cruise ships require them. As well as testing to board.
Costco doesn't track numbers and cases. Neither does the LCBO. Did you have to show a vaccine passport to go in either this weekend? Were you tested to enter the store? How about all the people standing next to you?
