Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  What is your all time favorite automobile? The first vehicle I purchased in my life was a dilapidated 1974 Datsun pick-up truck. It was far from road worthy to say the least. In fact it was a death trap. After running my credit cards to their limits I managed to get it certified and on the road. Then the many adventures I would have in it began. I named her “ Baby Blue”. To give you a hint as to how ‘ rough ‘ Baby was, every Friday night I would get out my paint brush and give her a fresh coat of blue paint. (Looking back I now realize that having driven her for two and a half years meant she had a minimum of 130 coats of that cheap metallic blue paint.) Oh the memories this resurrects! She had a four speed manual transmission and a loose nut on the steering wheel. The passenger side floor was made out of multiple layers of Pizza Pizza boxes. ( For their personal safety I would advise all passengers to not stomp their feet while the vehicle was in motion. ) At one point the hood ...

  America, Please don’t allow the “Icemen” to detain Santa (and keep “you-know-who” away from the Elves)

  The Two Greatest Pedophiles of Modern Times The Pedophile President’s attempts to bully Canada have backfired to say the least. Donald J Trump thought that he could easily bully Canada into bending to his will. Thinking that we Canucks would jump at the chance to abandon our deep family rooted Canadian values and hop on board the capitalistic conceited train of American chaos. Trump was sure that after  Prime Minister Trudeau  stepped down, forcing us into an election, his greatest Canadian fan, “ Pierre Poilierve “, would win. Thankfully   for us  Mark Carney  won. I would have loved to see the look on the Orange Dictator’s face when our election results were revealed. I strongly believe that if prior to the election the Conservative Party had sent “ PolyBear ” Poilierve packing they most certainly would have won by a landslide. A True Maplemagat Their keeping the Maplemagat PolyBear as leader cost them the win. ( The reason I labelled Poilierve as “Poly...

  Our days come with many varieties of emotion. Emotions hurt when paired with the reality of the moment. Moments like today, this very evening, now …… In four days it will be six years since my son, my ‘Bubba’, ‘Jordan’ to most others, lost his battle with mental illness and drug addiction and   suicide stole his life. That same day suicide stole a part of my life. I am not sure if it would be proper to call such a day as an  ‘anniversary’. ‘ Anniversary ‘ is a term that is used to memorialize a ‘ special’  occassion. A pleasant memory. Such as  ‘Marriages, a child’s birth, graduation or personal birthday’ . Today does not fit into any of those scenarios. “What do you call a day that reminds you of the moment the universe reached out, grabbed your testicles and viscously twisted them until you vomited a part of your soul?” I wish I knew. I wish there was a word to describe how I feel today. For now all I can say is that sorrow is here today, perhaps it will lea...

  Do any citizens of the once great United States of America actually believe that Dictator Donald J Trump was going to allow unredacted Epstein files to be publicly  released ? Regardless of what the MAGA Cult   sheeple blindly believe. In regards to Trump not being mentioned within them, we all are quite aware that he is mentioned numerous times. Long before he entered the world of politics he had faced numerous Court challenges for accusations of sexual assault and the rape of minors. Due to his wealth and powerful alliances he bought his way out of facing the accusations in Court. On numerous occasions his lawyers arranged for the payment of large amounts of compensation to the victims. “Hush money”. Amounts that the common person can only dream of . Amounts that the parents of the minor victims reluctantly accepted in belief that the money would greatly improve their lives at the expense of their children. However, the “bribes”, (I state bribes because that is exactl...

What was the last thing you did for play or fun? Due to my health and mobility issues I rarely leave my home. That said, I find “fun” in my having intellectual, yet whimsical, interactions with none intellectual, non whimsical MAGA supporters. I enjoy watching as by simply conversing   and expressing my opinions causes their faces to change from a lighter shade of pale to a deep purplish red hue as their voices crackle with frustration due to their limited intellectual capability to understand someone who could care less what their defenseless defense may be. For their argument is null and void.

  This afternoon on the streetcar, coming home from seeing my neurologist, I experienced the most amazing moment. I hadn’t bothered to stream my music through my hearing aids like I nþormally do. After receiving the news about the mass in my head and the blockage of the stent, I simply wasn’t in a ‘music’ mood. That is, until the music found me. Passing   through Little Chinatown when this elderly, very elderly,   Oriental woman shuffled on board and had a seat next to me. We exchanged the ritual little smirk and slight nod of   acknowledgement   of each other’s existence. My attention returned back to staring out the window and watching   the   “Sheeple” people. All of a sudden this   petite ,  sweet   elderly   woman   started   humming   Simon   and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Being one of my lifetime all time favourite songs from my youth, I could not help myself and I, too, started humming alon...
