This unremarkable looking dude flew a twin engine bomber off an aircraft carrier in WW2 and changed the course of the war.

The Doolittle Raid precipitated the Battle of Midway, which the #USA won decisively.

Not sure if he would meet Pete Hegseth’s standards.

NDP leader Nenshi revving up the troops at Provincial Council in Red Deer this AM.

He’s a proven winner. 👍 👍

I’m looking forward to fighting the next #Alberta election with all these people….

….. an election that can’t come some enough IMO!

I was lucky enough to chat with Sue Foley the other night in #Lethbridge and watch her perform La Malagueña.

It was a virtuoso performance from the #Ottawa native.

I had forgotten that at one time Charo was one of the world’s best flamenco guitarist.

Stunning autumn colours today at the Peace Hills Park #discgolf course in Wetaskiwin #Alberta.

I designed and installed it in 2005 for the AB Seniors Games, now one of the best courses in #Canada? 🤷🏻‍♂️

The trees 🌲 have grown, mown fairways are tight; it’s a circuit that is relentlessly difficult.
