Diversity is a strength.

UPDATE ALERT!!

Why yes, I am still alive. Really sorry about running out of steam this year, but I'll be plugging away at countries over the next two months, and hopefully get a lot more up. In the meantime, enjoy the rich year Canada offered. Lots of topics to think about.
