There , I did it,  I have done my provincial duty voting for the next premier of Alberta,  though,  quieite frankly,  I have not been watching or reading the local news these past few weeks to really know about the platforms the various parties involved are representing,  except for that ridiculous " Dani Bucks "gas rebate deal suggested by the ultra right wing Wildrose Party 's leader,  Danielle Smith,  nor have I have I been checking possible candidates for the provincial senate,  but then,  I vote from the heart and choose the one MP ( or is it MPP? ) and political party who will actually represent me and the people of Alberta.
It was such a lovely and sunny day for voting, I walked ten or eleven ( seemed more, but I did not care ) blocks to Killarney Community League where the voting in my area was taking place and ten blocks coming home .

I had promised you yesterday that I was going to talk about Dick Clark and the effect he had on me as a young television viewer in the mid seventies to mid eighties, well, the effect wasn't really that major to the point I had invited this charming, rather good looking man to my family,  but I liked what he stood for in the world of popular culture as the host of American Bandstand, presenting music to the masses that would normally raise the collective ire of uptight parents and authorities alike, for example, think James Brown and the Supremes back in the sixties or Madonna in the eighties.  I may not like every TV show he did, as producer and sometimes host, except $10,000 Pyramid and TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes ( liked the bloopers,  didn't care much about the celebrity pranks ) , but I do respect him as both a human being and innovator who loved what he did,  even if it ultimately cost him his health .

I am going to sign off for now because I think I had enough of what I wanted to talk about today, even if it turned out vague to you ( I hope not ) , my mind has started to go blank and there are other stuff I want to do on my tablet,  so,  I will either see you tomorrow or some other day?
