Dear Dave:

It truly is amazing Mister Minister what a person can learn at a library. A group of summer students here is studying geography of African nations for a summer learning project: & their special focus today is Ethiopia.

1. The IInd highest mountain in Ethiopia is the Tullu Demtu at 4,377 m. or 14,360 ft. (part of the Bale Mountains range), while the highest is in the Semien range: the Ras Deshen which is 4,550 m or 14,928 ft.

2. The mountain plateaus align on the northern face to an equal level of the eastern section of Sudan.

3. Fissures or breaks in the mountains are like anywhere else the result of water causing erosion. However the water has helped developed the hills which causes the plateaus.

Dear Dave:

The Right Hon. The Lord Earl Frederick North & many men/women of power have to have the want or driving "ambition" to get there. Especially political leaders (like the candidates now for the Federal New Democratic Leadership & the United Airlines Conservative Party Leadership here in Alberta & the upcoming municipal elections in October) & Freddy explains it rather aptly.

"Men may be popular without being ambitious, but there is hardly an ambitious man who does not try to be popular."

XIth Prime Minister,

Dear Dave:

It does frustrate me that the City of Edmonton is talking about the fact that sections of the LRT should have been built up towards the sky, like an "Astrotrain." If they knew with all of the mechanical difficulties that higher up or a monorail should have been used in the first place at points to avoid traffic tie-ups, then they should have built up in the first place. Yet another example of this left-wing, artsy-fartsy do nothing deadbeats, progressive, semi-communist, taxpayer money wasting City Council pissing away money we don't have (that has no fucking clue what it is doing) & now they'll spend even more cash to fix it (raising taxes even more!)

Positively Golden!

Dear Dave:

On this day L (50) years ago, my parents Joe Koopmans & June Koopmans (nee Adams) got married, & it was a Saturday in the calendar rotation as well & so I write in solid gold text (of course):

Saturday, August XIXth, MCMLXVII (19th, 1967)-Saturday, August XIXth, MMXVII (19th, 2017)

I just cannot tell you how surreal it is to be sitting here in the lobby of the church where their married & their life journey was started. It's frankly positively "golden" (not to mention strange as I was just here a few days ago for the funeral of a family friend.)

I cannot help but wonder what would have happened if they hadn't gotten divorced, or at least remained very good friends after their divorce because of us III (3) children. I also cannot help but feel a tinge of sadness and regret that mom died on January XVIIIth, MMXVII (18th, 2012) so young at just LXVIII (68) & didn't get to live to see this historic moment!

I placed a golden carnation & rose on mom's grave earlier today, this seemed rather fitting. I also broke out one of her Old Country Roses tea cup's & saucer's (with a silver spoon of course as we must be precisement according to mother's tea standards musn't we?) & my thermos to celebrate with a few cups of Red Rose tea for her (with marmalade & butter & scones of course.) I'm sure she found that a rather "solid gold" gesture!

My New Hero Of The Year!

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

Not only is that little boy who got help when his 5 year old little sister was abducted my new hero of the year, he should be made an Honourary Edmonton Police Service (who investigate crime) officer for life for getting his family to call in the officers so fast. He should get to have lifetime free access for him & his family to play with & hang out with EPS Canine Unit officers & their handlers who give his actions their full apawrroval!

As for the soap opera that is Derek Fildebrandt, MLA, United Airlines Conservative Party, Strathmore-Brooks, lets review (better than episodes of "The Young & The Restless" from CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) (TM) Television City in Los Angeles, California.)

Day 1: Pocketing the cash differential of $2,555.00 on an apartment that taxpayers pay for (which I don't begrudge him as he is an MLA.) Would have kept the cash if not caught.

Day 2: First Derek dipped, & then he dipped again on double claims of meals. I am glad a Mr. George Costanza of New York City, New York stopped by his constituency office to remind Derek & his staff of this.

Day 3: Allegedly did not report a motor vehicle accident & its been what a year or longer since it happened, allegedly. Seems to me we can save the coast of a byelection by appointing the Edmonton hero boy who saved his sister as the next Strathmore-Brooks MLA when Derek steps down!

Notice how the Alberta Party & Greg Clark, MLA, Calgary-Elbow are leading on this Fildebrandt file & the Alberta Liberals & Dave Khan are completely useless/listless!

Dear Dave:

Perhaps with the alleged "graft"/paloya/rent taxpayer subsidized profit with Derek Fildebrandt, MLA, United Airlines Conservative Party, Strathmore-Brooks in the news its fitting that we should hear from The Rt. Hon. His Grace The Duke Earl Augustus Henry Fitzroy, who also happens to have been The Duke Of Grafton. Prime Minister Fitzroy points out the need for students to have wisdom when guiding a nation & you must learn from your mistakes (something Derek clearly hasn't hence the quick departure outta town before his arse was handed to him), even ones made as Prime Minister.

"Wisdom is at no times more conspicuous, nor more amiable, than in acknowledgement of error."

Xth Prime Minister,

Rory

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed.., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

The reason Former PC Alberta Cabinet Minster Steve Mandel, Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark & attorney Marilyn Burns have been meeting is quite interesting.

1. Marilyn wanted to call her new party the "Action Alberta Party" instead of the currently acceptable form of "Alberta Action Party."

2. This didn't go through as Greg didn't want a second party with the word "Alberta" right next to the word "party."

3. Marilyn agreed to "Alberta Action Party" as she is not at war with Mandel's or Clark's people. Instead she is at war with PC & Wildrose members who voted in favour of merging.

4. Plus Greg Clark had a bad falling out with the "Alberta Liberal Party" after he left their employ. So he wanted Marilyn to have "Alberta" first in the name so as to siphon votes away from Alberta Liberal Leader Dave Khan (whose salmon bbq was partly empty at the U of A Faculty Club where he gave a flat speech & the fact the initial listed online ticket price was raised from $65.00 to $100.00 on the orders of Khan, thus people in the crowd who paid the more expensive price resented not being given a $35.00 refund (thanks for that information Arlin Biffert/Alex Bosse/Mike Butler/Vishal Luthra.)

5. The Alberta Liberals, 97 plus years out the door, GONE; TIME TO GIVE UP THE GHOST!

The Precise Context,

Rory

P.S.: It seems rather nice of Derek Fildebrandt, MLA, United Airlines Conservative Party, Strathmore-Brooks to publicly criticize Brian Jean, MLA, United Airlines Conservative Party, Fort McMurray-Conklin as a potential UACP Leader when Brian had him hold his position as Finance Critic. This committee is chaired by Derek as it is always chaired by an opposition member, thus providing him with an extra cheque, handy for buying diapers for the new Fildebrandt Baby Jr. Let us be serious for a moment, if the slumlord Fildebrandt hadn't been caught he would have run for leader & kept the rent cash pocketed!

Number 10: Pitt The Elder

Dear Dave:

Called Pitt "The Elder" to distinguish himself from his son William Jr. who also became Prime Minister, this "Great Commoner" refused to accept a title until later in life. The Right Honourable The Viscount Earl William Pitt taught young people visiting Parliament that having too much power can have a corrupting influence.

"Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it."

An Annoying Busybody

August IInd, MMXVII

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

Is it just me or is Candidate Kenney nothing but an arrogant prick & annoying busybody. Its the height of hypocrisy for Jason to suggest that Candidate Jean & Candidate Schweitzer cannot format & announce their own policies, especially when he is promising to "scrap" the carbon tax upon taking office. Pardon me for being technical, but isn't getting rid of Rachel's carbonic economic taxola job killer an economic policy in & of itself? Your god damned right it is! Maybe Candidate Kenney should run his own campaign & stop interfering in the campaigns of the other II candidates & anyone else who chooses to enter the United Airlines Conservative Party (UCP) Leadership race. Especially when you consider that any candidates who lose will have to potentially serve in the cabinet of the XVIIIth Premier. Candidate Kenney is becoming more annoying for gosh sakes than a Rory J. Koopmans phone call (a feat very hard (if not impossible) to top!)
