Having brunch at Whole Foods this morning, the nice lady sitting next to us asks if we can help with getting the Wi-Fi going. My handsome computer god, always such a gentleman, was happy to oblige. We exchanged a few words with her and she asked if we lived in California. We told her we were visiting from Canada. We barely finished the sentence and she said in a very envious manner, " Oh, you don't need to worry about health care." She looked at us as if she had never met anyone before with such an achievement. Before she could get too far into her reverie about a new life, in a new land amongst other such lucky beings, I shared one other little tidbit about our beautiful country. "That's right," I said, "but we do have snow." to which we all laughed and this seemed to end her fantasy. And then silence…..
The perfect day to remember all that our country is, in all its beauty.
