You know for years I have said that we should be very careful on how we let other countries like China for example dictate to us, and be very weary of what they are doing to our society behind close doors. For most parts these folks are very good at what they do and if left, we will soon find we are not a country of what we think we are.  Simple as that.    Take farming for instance, most of our small farmers have gone out of business but the grocery stores are still full.  That in itself should tell you that things aren’t what they should be.  We are being over run by other countries for a reason. The reason is they get rich and we become less self efficient and now are dependent on them. Not a good thing folks.  Now in saying that take a look at this article that came out this morning.  As it says this is just the tip of the iceberg what lays beneath is much much more. My opinion only.

China’s influence over Western politicians runs deeper than controversial claims made by the head of Canada’s spy agency, Tory MP Rob Anders alleges.

In an interview with Epoch Times, an international newspaper founded by Falun Gong supporters, Anders suggested politicians and government officials from Canada and other Western countries are being wooed with extravagant gifts, beautiful young women and too-good-to-be-true business deals.

“The reach is deep, and it’s very unfortunate,” Anders told the newspaper.

“I would argue that I’ve seen things happen on a federal level as well in our own government.

“And so I think there’s a lot more than he has even mentioned,” the Calgary MP added, referring to Canadian Security Intelligence Service director Richard Fadden.

“I think that Mr. Fadden only gingerly scratched the surface. I feel for him that he was dragged before an investigative committee with Parliament to have to explain, and I think that this situation is far worse than what he let on.”

Now when it comes to fishing reels I would have to say that the Abu Garcia® Cardinal C503 ALB can’t be beat.  I have got one and would have to say it is the nicest reel I have ever owned.

Abu Garcia® Cardinal C503ALB Wins Outdoor Life “Editor’s Choice” Award

An edition of Outdoor Life magazine was  released, featuring its annual “Editor’s Choice and Best Buy” awards. Of all the spinning reels tested, the Abu Garcia Cardinal C503ALB was given the prestigious “Editor’s Choice” Award as the editor’s top spinning reel, outperforming Quantum, Shimano and Shakespeare, among many other manufacturers. In addition, the Abu Garcia Cardinal C3 was given an honorable mention in the spinning reel category.

According to the magazine’s editors, “with its all-aluminum body and spool and machine-aluminum handle, the [ALB] reel resembles an armored Humvee, but instead of being boxlike in shape, it’s sleek, silvery and understated. The bail is heavy-duty and open with a satisfying stay-open click. Your grip won’t slip when the soft-handle knob is wet or fish slimed. With its 10 ball bearings and high-quality gears, the reel is buttery smooth. A dandy for any freshwater casting work and also light saltwater, although with a larger line capacity it would handle far more serious marine work.”

Well been a long time coming but are now getting some new pavement. Miller Paving is doing the work and I have to say they are doing a fantastic job.  Great outfit, I would have to recommend them if your in the need of any paving or construction work.  Great fellows.  The work you see here is being done in front of our home on the bend of the HWY, just past the Shell on the right heading west.  A lot of folks that read my column say it’s Walters Bend.   Kind of fittin’ I Suppose.  Sure will be nice when all said and done .  Click Pictures to enlarge.
