Special Report from Buzz Food

President Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last Monday in what has been hailed as a significant tightening and reaffirmation of the historical bonds of friendship and economic cooperation across the world’s longest undefended border.

A “diplomatic success on all counts” was how mainstream Canadian media interpreted it.

“Kissing ass, not on the right cheek, not on the left……right in the middle”,  was another point of view.

Buzz Food, as usual, had a correspondent present at the meeting dressed in a red waiter’s jacket and a Smokey The Bear hat. Security didn’t stop him, he looked just like the guy that saved Nell when she couldn’t pay the rent.

Our intrepid agent (Deep Dudley) reports that Mr. Trump was being briefed in the offal office prior to Justin Trudeau’s arrival and seemed to be both baffled and annoyed at the same time.

Trump: Who is this guy?

Advisor: Justin Trudeau, from Canada

Trump: Tell him to go club a seal, I’m busy……….wait a minute, Justin from Canada? Ivanka loves his music. “Beaver” or some damned thing. But he’s a little prick, isn’t he? Throws eggs at honest, hardworking, American billionaire’s mansions. I should deport him. But Ivanka loves him……. Okay, tell him he’s got 30 minutes.

Deep Dudley tells us that during the prelim tailgate party at the Canadian embassy he witnessed Mr. Trudeau practicing the delayed handshake technique. This is a French Canadian symbol of social dominance called “Est Votre Main Propre” which translates roughly into “hope I brought my Purell”

We’ll save the interview itself including the obvious snub of Ivanka  when she asks Justin if his Kilt was at the cleaners, for a future edition of Special Report.

Francie

I like to categorize. Not that my life is any model of organization, I don’t name and label things to make them easier to find. I do it to provide an anchor for similar objects and ideas so they stop drifting around and bumping into each other.
The myriad styles of music, particularly under the category “Indie” is mind-numbing in terms of the number of sub categories, each with its own sub categories. 
A quick google of music genres shows Alternative Rock (of which Indie is a sub category) as having eighteen styles. 
Even with all those styles to choose from I’m still frequently stumped to find a slot for my projects.
“What kind of music is it?” I’m asked.
“Well, if you go online and look up  ………..  you’ll get an idea.” would be nice to be able to say.
Francie’s music is Folkpoptronica I’ve decided. Don’t look it up.
We have the main parts for three of the songs recorded and next Sunday the beds will be complete.
We’re going a bit retro. We’ve decided to have an underlying theme for the five songs and draw it all together with segues and recurring riffs. 
It’s already a lot of fun.I have no audio clips yet. Perhaps by the weekend.
