There is nothing like a canvas tent with a woodstove in it. I have spent many years in pursit of deer, elk, and antelope with such a camp, sometimes horseback. This weekend nov. 7 we will contine a family tradition by having a party outside cooking with dutch ovens around a fire. Buffalo for Thanksgiving is a family favorite with the men cooking outside and the women inside. Even people who do not spend much time outdoors love the concept. A tepee was a fovorite of many guests, but our canvas finally rotted out. This week we will have two wall tents with stoves and an open fire with a sheet metal stove top. A-men brother.

I was sitting yesterday waiting for a deer and thought what a great day,,,,no phones,,,no bells,,,,just a slight wind and a few Nuthatches to pass the morning. Was brought back to reality when a grouse flew down about 10 yards from me. To bad I was hunting for deer,,,,I hate to use a $12 arrow on a forest chicken. Nothing wrong with that post Don.

]]> Comment on American Health by anne http://donmeredith.wordpress.com/2009/08/26/american-health/#comment-279 anne Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:26:17 +0000 http://donmeredith.wordpress.com/?p=230#comment-279 When my husband had a slight stroke a few weeks ago, the last thing on our minds was health insurance coverage because we live in Canada and enjoy universal health care coverage. Within minutes of arriving at the Emergency Dep't of our local hospital, we presented our health card and were seen by a Doctor. After an initial examination, he ordered a brain scan, an ecg and bloodworks: all at no cost to us! subsequently, we had an appointment with a nurse specializing in neurology as well as neurologist. More diagnostic tests such as a Holter monotor and an echocardiogram and more extensive bloodworks were also administered. At no time did the doctors need to consult with insurance companies for approval of tests. We came home with procedures to follow and absolutely no worries about how we were going to be able to apy for these excellent services. It boggles my mind the a lot of Americans can not embrace such a plan. not only are Canadians amongst the healhiest in the world, our health care costs less per capita than the present American plan that leaves MILLIONS of people with absolutely no coverage! I commend President Obama for his great efforts to bring similar health care to Americans. His great vision for the American people is one that I admire. We would welcome with open arms a man of such vision. I hope that his efforts are not in vain.....
