Been away from Bsky for a few months - one of which was spent in Italy. Is there a more sublime country on earth?

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · 27d

Ok. Back after three or four months… first excuse, in Italy for a month.

Magical

Second excuse, writing and golfing all summer. This week, finally finished my first draft of my first noval. 93,000 words. Political thriller, based upon current political figures.

Now. What to do with it?

I’m not discounting that - for sure - it’s easier to deal with immigration, obviously, when you’re a white person with a Canadian passport. And easier yet if you have even modest affluence.

But. Suggesting that no one outside fo the U.S. should travel there is a little bit of overkill.

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

More than you’d think.

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

I think there should be a way to “trade citizenship” for people that otherwise would be acceptable citizens.

Like, say, hockey cards… trade you a Team Canada for a Team USA.

Put a bunch into U.S. stocks.. lol…

Otherwise, I don’t really see the point.

Perhaps. I’m naive and you might be called hyperbolic.

People with immigration issues ought to not, maybe, travel to the U.S.. You didn’t qualify your comment however. You suggested that no one should travel to the U.S.

I just pointed out for the vast majority of people - travel is not an issue.

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

There are so many reasons, politically, to avoid travel to many countries, for example, a few years ago I was in China.

And to Moscow, Russia before that when it was the U.S.S.R.

Amazing people but brutal government far worse than anything in the western world.

Travel, for me, informs.

Pure chance experience. In Las Vegas, dinner at Oscar’s (sublime btw), and walking past show room. I see a hostess…

“Are tickets still available for show? (in 10 minutes). “They are? Two please.”

No idea what the show is.

Was awesome. Go see Mavericks at the Plaza.

Been to Italy many times, but have never visited Milan (other than for changing trains).

Convince me it’s worth visiting.

Back in 23 days… Padova, Riva del Garda, Verona and La Maddalena. 🇮🇹

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

Just got back from U.S., was lovely. Border security people were nice, professional and took less than two minutes.

I encourage travel to the U.S., one of the world’s great countries for sure.

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

In Canada? Forever.

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

I swear I just saw this show in Vegas last week…

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

Of course, everything old is new again…

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

23 days and counting until we meet again Padova! 🇮🇹

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 8

23days… and counting - then gone for a month! ✈️ 🇮🇹 🍷 🍧

Easily Country Music Artist of the Year.

Better than Beyonce! LOL…

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 2

Damn. Been listening to Post Malone’s new album (and added tracks on Apple Music) for three days - “F1 Trillion.”

The BEST country album I’ve heard in a long, long time.

Nellie.. didn’t you get the memo? In today’s world you’re either “radical liberal” or “far right”. Though, sadly, too many people - and judges - are getting caught up in that narrative, seeing the “others” and dangerous to society and doing things that betray their own ethics and values.

Rob Harvie @robblaw.bsky.social · Apr 2

TBH I never thought about it until now. I think living in Alberta, we spend a fair bit of time here and in Montana where we are spoiled by nature… so when I look for a change, it hasn’t been nature - but I’ve heard Costa Rica is amazing.
