Mr. Madman. That has some ringing to it. I'd probably have to go with Monsieur Madman though. Now I'm sophisticated.
And yeah there's some offspring. But they're not little and running anymore. Big and driving now.

Twins, right? I recall some twin art, or maybe that was just for artistic purposes. I'm pretty sure we have had this exact conversation, again. Every third time I talk with you there is deja vu. It's been a few years of talking now, I suppose it is inevitable.
Monsieur Madman and the Twins. That has a nice ring to it. I could see a cartoon being made out of that. Monsieur Madman must teach the twins to drive, and he does so in a monster truck. Flattened corn fields in every direction and shouting farmers. Yep, I could see it.
We don't really have corn fields here though.
Really? I always had an image of Iowa in my head for your area of Canada. I think Americans in generally a pretty ignorant about Canada. Pretty sure Canada was never mentioned in my 12 years of public schooling.
Mainly seed crops, canola. Corn would be rare here, but maybe more to the west and east. I rarely see it unless it's feed corn for cattle. I bet you didn't know part of Canada is further south than northern California.
I bet those canola fields are lovely. Like the Canadian version of those lavender fields in France. Only maybe less pretty smelling. Canola doesn't seem like it would smell pretty. The smell of rancid oil comes to mind, but surely it doesn't smell that way when it is way ahead of the rancid stage:)
The fields here are all cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, maybe some collards, and more cabbage. Come summer they will mostly be corn. Pretty, but not very colorful.
You are just going to leave that there with no explanation. Yes, that would be your way;)
When in flower, that canola stuff stinks. And after that stage, it's the worst thing to jump into at night if you have to hide from someone. Then when it's harvested, if you jump into a pile of it, you can drown because it's like quicksand. Then when they take it to the crushing plants to make the oil, it stinks again.
And yes southern Ontario is further south than northern California. Just look at your crushed up globe.
I didn't know that's where cabbage came from. Bugs eat it to death here. In gardens we have to cover it with small screen tent things. Cabbage is kind of gross though.
I am an olive/coconut oil consumer, so all of what you said about canola is just furthering my belief that the stinky canola is bad for you - internally and externally.
That crushed up globe has been recycled. It was replaced with a smaller and more updated but very plastic one a neighbor gave me. Apparently it used to talk, and now it doesn't, so my neighbor didn't want it. I said something like It just so happens I don't want my globe to talk to me. And so here we are.
Sweet bug free winter. I suppose you grow cabbage in the summer there, that explains it. If you doll it up with vinegar and a sugar source and some of those Florida winter grown carrots all shredded up, cabbage pretends not to be that weird smelly vagrant of a vegetable and gets kind of classy.
