“Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog : “Off To See Our Friend President Biden at Camp David!

Bless the power of Allah and modern medicine as Dillie the Westie recovered so quickly and in a few days he is back with us and good enough to attend our weekly tea with Mr. Gordon Lightfoot. He is a bit slow and has stitches on his head but our animal doctor, Doctor Murray, says he will soon be fit as a fiddle.

Our friend Joe…ooops, President Biden, has invited us to Camp David for a week where a navy veterinarian will give Dillie powerful restorative medicinal cocktails and we are going camping?

We fly into Dulles Airport in Washington and the Presidential helicopter takes us to Camp David in Maryland. But it is no campground but a luxury retreat. We are walked to a suite once occupied by Anwar Sadat, an assassinated President of Egypt!

We are told there will be a special dinner with an award given to Dillie and I for the fight against international terrorism and crime.

Bob and Fay gussy up and the Navy staff give Dillie the Westie and I a bath. We are smelling so good. A golf cart comes and picks us up and we go to the main lodge to have dinner with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Kamala sounds Egyptian! But no she is an American. President Bidden is in the room and his German Shepherds try and assert their power over me but my Rat Pack growl sends them cringing. NEVER MESS WITH AN EYGYTIAN STREET DOG!

Joe picks me up and gives me a hug and says to me where was I when Trump tried to overrun the Capitol Building! Then Vice President Kamala Harris asks me to jump up on her lap where I stay while the adults have some Schramsberg California bubbly wine.

We dogs have a dinner of Maryland organic chicken with mashed potatoes from the garden of the wife of President Biden called Jill. The humans have oysters, filet of sole and some dessert called Baked Alaska. There is coffee and Bob and Joe have a cigar with a glass of Pappy van Winkle American Bourbon.

Then we are all assembled for a presentation where I will receive a canine Presidential Medal of Honour for Bravery and International Furtherance. Dillie receives a medal of honour for bravery. We have great pictures of the presentation which sit on our fireplace mantle in our Toronto home.

We are all invited to visit Kamala tomorrow to visit her two stepchildren Cole and Emma. Such nice children and we watch “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” while Dillie and I sit on the laps of Cole and Emma and doze off.

We have a barbeque after and more rice and crumbled burgers and green beans for us. We are all taken home. The Canadian newspapers say Dillie the Westie and Reggie have done so much for Canadian American relations?

The rest of the week flies by and we go for long walks with Joe and Jill and eat like kings. We are all so good friends with President Biden and Vice-President Harris.

Joe says he will be visiting Prime Minister Trudeau in October in Ottawa and after that would like to stay with us for a couple of days. This is unprecedented with an American President staying with a Canadian citizen. We look forward to a visit and Bob says this will be Canadian Thanksgiving. He has plans that will make Joe and Jill Happy.

We fly back to Toronto and the media mobs us. Dillie the Westie and Reggie have suddenly become international diplomats.

Bob says to us when we return home that we all need to press the stop button and relax for two months. This sounds good to us dogs! I look forward to daily long walks and lots of cold water and chicken kibble. However we have received an invitation to a show hosted by Dr. Phil that Disney insists we attend. Bob says yes but after that we relax and wait for the visit by President Biden and his wife Jill.

Poetry Corner “The Blindness of the Shame”

The Blindness of the Shame

Attending a dinner party with the double vaccinated (of course)
they are pontificating at the ignorance and stupidity of the unvaccinated
they’ve swallowed the party line hook line and sinker
well educated but blinded to civil rights all the more shameful as they are lawyers

Oh so terrible they say these Haitians being whipped and lassoed by red necked Texan cowboy border agents!
Excuse me how is this different from the politico medico elite “ENCOURAGING”
vaccination and the poor unvaccinated denied entry into cinemas, restaurants and entertainment venues?

The ENCOURAGEMENT is but a whip and the politico medico elite are no better than the red necked
Texan border agents

ECOURAGEMENT is but a masked term for repression, bullying and behaviour that Nelson Mandela
spent so many years in prison for

The Unvaccinated destined for “Unvaccinated Only” seats at Vaccinated diners
make the Selma analogy unless you are blinded by the ENCOURAGEMENT
I tell you this as a doubly vaccinated poet who is not afraid you to challenge you to see the light
Rosa Parks could see the light but you’ve been blinded by the obsequious media

RKS Wine: A Low-Cost Bordeaux with the Highest Pedigree

Mention the name Mestreguilhem in Bordeaux ears will perk up as they have been in the wine trade for many years and own Château Pipeau a solid red wine producing excellent and highly ageable red wine. They also own Chateau Joinin which produces a red Château Joinin. Can their skills and reputation be reflected in a $14.95 Bordeaux?

On the nose a creamy message of violets, herbs, black cherry, cassis and raspberry galette. On the palate penetrating black cherry, sweet date, licorice and a dusting of white pepper. Mild tannins with a moderately long finish. Age up to 2025. 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

I may have mentioned to you every once in awhile you can find a gem for a song in Bordeaux and although this is a simple AC Bordeaux it performs way above its price point. Really flawless. Worthy of a case purchase particularly if you are starting your cellar or if you are a veteran collector. Well suited for a Devil’s Kiss Pasta which you can find described here   https://www.thekitchn.com/devils-kiss-pasta-review-23182032?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=managed&fbclid=IwAR16Fgt8LzFdj7hLKrZLAJOFjVHXbvWp5Mq7Lc9h2XUMLf0lg_Ui_E_k_aM

RKS Wine: Do You Have Good Kharma? Flat Rock Cellars “Good Kharma Chardonnay”

Perhaps your kharma is dictated to you by a higher power based on your actions in this world? You know last weekend I was going to COSTCO to pick up some great Canadian Feta cheese and beside me some rather thuggish looking man in unlaced work boots, shorts and shaved head opened his door in heavy traffic and got out of his Ford 150 truck and bashed on the window and tore off the rear-view mirror of the car beside him. The kind of fellow you might see at the Capitol Riot in Washington. I wonder what his kharma was? In his last life he was an asshole and, in this life, an even bigger one.

When you try the 2020 Flat Rock Cellars Good Kharma Chardonnay perhaps you might reflect on your kharma? Or like me you might focus on the kharma of the wine? The fact that proceeds of the sale of the wine go to “Feed Ontario” an organization that has a vision of ending poverty and hunger in Ontario points to good kharma for all who drink it? Over 150,000 meals have been provided from the sale of this wine. Perhaps that thug I described above might be best served by abandoning his malt liquor and being more polite and drinking some Good Kharma. He had so much hatred in him in his next life perhaps he will be a flea?

Avoiding too much of a philosophical nature what about the wine?

It has a light gold colour. On the nose some intense peach and apricot and tangerine. There is no oak in this wine. It is lean and crisp with some measure of acidity making it a great foodie wine. On the palate some further apricot and peach. Could it be the wine has picked up the aroma of peaches growing nearby? There is enough acidity in the wine to make it a great pairing with seafood. It just might have the guts to stand up to November Malpeque oysters. It would also suit a range of grilled ocean fish like spiogola, orata and porgie served with a lemon, EVO and oregano with a big bowl of Swiss Chard doused with the same sauce you douse the fish with.

I think the wine’s acidity gives it a unique Niagara character. I can’t say there are many Niagara Chardonnays I would recommend with ocean water fish. Now would it suit freshwater perch, pickerel, bass and pike? I think so if simply prepared.

All said and done Chardonnay in Ontario seems so rarely suited for the fish I like but I think this is one of them. It is no oak sodden monster for sure but perhaps representative of a true unadulterated Chardonnay.

An odd but utilitarian Chardonnay with its own proud characteristics.

“Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog” :The Second Liberation of Reggie!

My first liberation was brought by a Toronto rescue organization called Snookies Rescue Society in Toronto liberating me from the bad streets of Cairo into the happier and more loving streets of Hog Town which I know now is the nickname for Toronto. Yes as a dog I love pea meal bacon!

I wake up in a cage in a dark room that stinks of vodka and cigarettes and dirt. Living with Fay, Bob and Dillie the smell of dirt is something I can only recall from Cairo. But the dirt in this room smells like evil dirt. The men are speaking a language I do not understand but it is not Arabic. They tell me in broken English I am dirty dog but I am worth millions to them. They kick my cage and spit at me and that does not frighten me. If I could escape my cage and attack them they WOULD BE FRIGHTENED OF ME! Never mess with an Egyptian street dog! NEVER EVER!

They have a pile of guns and grenades on a table and a bank of computers. I hear them speaking to each other in broken English about a “ransom note”. It means we will return Reggie if you pay us $50,000,000 into a Panamanian secret bank account. You have 48 hours to do so or we will send you Reggie’s head.

I am hungry and thirsty and they feed me leftover takeout food of hamburgers and fries. They give me water in a dirty bowl. I have to go pee and they never take me out so I can go pee. What a bunch of low life scoundrels I say as I try and aim my pee out the cage door. These low life’s are soaked with vodka so they will not smell my urine.

Bob and Fay receive the ransom note and a team of Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the FBI operative President Biden has sent read it. With the help of the Mossad (The Israeli Secret Police) and the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington the location of the computer is revealed. The computer was supposedly protected by a Russian anti-detection programme that the Mossad had cracked two weeks ago. The computer is located in an Russian Gun Club building on a street called Murray Ross in North Toronto. Little did these Bulgarian criminals know they were going to get their rear ends kicked in.

Bob answers the ransom note saying the money needs to be raised and it will take him 24 hours to raise it.

The FBI, CIA, RCMP and Mossad would dearly like to get these men in their cages they call jails. They have been blackmailing, extorting, kidnapping and money laundering all over the world. They all want these criminals in jails very badly as they have ruined lives and done so many illegal things. The American, Canadian and Israelis will be assembling an attack force of commandos that simply can’t fail.

Their leader Igor cracks open yet another bottle of vodka and his gang drink it like it is water. They fall asleep in a drunken stupor confident the money will be in their bank account very soon.

In any case in the early morning the door is battered down and the sleeping Bulgarians are captured without a shot fired. A RCMP officer opens the door and says “Reggie you are free”. I am liberated again and before I go I sink my teeth very deep into Igor’s ankle and he screams and says words in Bulgarian that if they were alive they would kill me! I am picked up and taken to Fay who sits in an armoured car. I am smothered in hugs by Fay. Dr. Murray my animal doctor is there and says after a physical examination I am a bit dehydrated but otherwise “Fit as a fiddle”.

We go home or at least close to home. You know that rapper Drake had opened up his private gym to all the attack force’s representatives and established a command centre. As Fay and I enter there are cheers. Mr. Gordon Lightfoot and Bosco are there. Drake orders a middle eastern feast from Paramount restaurants and all the teams converge for a dinner and leave.

I hear that Igor, the naughty Bulgarian needed twenty stitches to close my bite. Didn’t I tell you NEVER MESS WITH EGYPTIAN STREET DOGS! I hear that Bob will be coming home from hospital soon but Dillie the Westie is still battling for his life. I hear we will go and visit him tomorrow after we visit Bob.

Bob gives me a big hug and I give him a few kisses and nibble his ear at the same time which means he is part of my pack! Our next visit is to the brave Dillie the Westie who was injured badly with a cracked skull and fighting for his life. As far as I am concerned, I know the last trick in my book. It is growl Karim, Dillie and I used to use when we were the Rat Pack before Karim went to the world beyond. I come up to Dillie The Westie, the brave Scottish warrior dog and put my face close to his ear and give him the Rat Pack growl. Nothing happens. I close my eyes and pray to Allah for a miracle. I growl again and Dillie opens his eyes and gives a weak moan! He is out of a coma! THANK YOU ALLAH! The animal doctors can’t understand what happened but I know that a power greater than any dog or man has lent us a helping hand. Call him Allah, God or Buddha if you wish but whatever this power is it this there if you honour it.

“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” :The Brother’s of Egypt Cause Havoc: Reggie is Kidnapped!

Very tired from our flight from the Nobel Prize festivities in Stockholm we land in our private jet in Toronto and clear customs and Bob orders a limo to take us home. Sweet home and a bowl of clean and cold Canadian water with a simple chicken kibble and of course the occasional treats we find in our bowls. Dillie and I love watermelon particularly sweet yellow Ontario watermelon. Of course we love cheese and the morning is not simply a morning without a piece of toast or a bit of bagel,,,,sesame of course.

Do you remember that sense of dread I had in Stockholm? It sits in my stomach as we enter the limo to take us home. Bob has forgotten to arrange a security detail But we are in Toronto scooting home. Do not forget I am a street dog. I can sense danger miles away or I would not be alive to tell you this story!

We drive on the 401 Highway and take the Bayview exit to our Bridle Path home. Why is that Mercedes minivan following us? As we pass by the Edward ‘s Botanical Gardens and are a few minutes away from our home the Mercedes van cuts us off and three heavily armed men approach the limo and shoot our driver in the head. There is blood all over the seat. I am not afraid nor is Dillie the Westie. We have no guns but we have Scottish and Egyptian bravery in our blood. It is do or die time! Pay the price of our strength and bravery you low life’s. We’ll rip you to shreds! You dare touch Bob and Fay you’ll regret it….forever!

The door opens and Dillie and I take our victims. I jump out and lunge at the neck of one of the attackers. He collapses in a pool of blood. Dillie can’t jump like me so he attacks biting the ankle of another thug who falls screaming in pain but gets up and smashes Dillie the Westie in the head with the butt of his Browning pistol. Bob is in a rage and runs toward the evil man who hit Dillie. Bob is shot in the shoulder and spins to the ground. Fay has fainted. Oh Allah, God or Jesus please help. PLEASE HELP REGGIE! HELP DILLIE BOB AND FAY. A wet rag with some horrible smelling chemical is put over my snout and I remember no more.

Dillie is in the best animal hospital in Toronto with a cracked skull and an inflamed brain. He has a 50% chance of living. Bob is in hospital having lost a lot of blood but he will be OK.

This is an international incident and it is no surprise the Brother’s of Egypt claim responsibility and demand a ransom be paid for my release. There is no religious overtones to the demands as these thugs simply want money. But do they know who they are dealing with!

$50 million for my release. These cowards. If I could only get out of the cage they put me in I would show them NEVER MESS WITH A CAIRO STREET DOG!

Our friend in Washington Joe, oops, President Biden, phoned Bob in the hospital and he is so very angry that two brave dogs have been put in peril. His Federal Bureau of Investigation know much about these Brother’s of Egypt whom he says are Bulgarian extortionists and criminals who launder money for radical fundamentalists in Egypt. President Biden will send a top FBI operative with a very thick file to help the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Pope in the Vatican has said a special mass for Dillie the Westie and me. Our friends Drake and Mr. Gordon Lightfoot have offered whatever help they can give.

Is this all my fault? Would it have been better if that Rottenwhiler had killed me in Cairo? Pardon me for my foul language but these Bulgarian criminals are going to get their ass kicked in. Joe and the RCMP and FBI are ready to go.

Poetry Corner: “The Coyote and The Mouse”

The Coyote and The Mouse

When not a poet of great renown
perhaps I should tell you a story with a frown
as a golf course Marshall my job is somewhat akin to being a diplomat
keeping the pace of play
that makes impatient golfers happy and gay
I have a numbing early morning shift on Saturday
believe you me I might rather be sleeping away
but being mostly alone on this early morning shift
natural beauty is not to be missed
deer, rabbits, foxes, falcons and increasingly lean and hungry coyotes
and I see in front of me a coyote joyfully playing

Oh my isn’t that nice creature cute
he is dancing and prancing and tossing something up in the air
my goodness it is a mouse and he is part of the coyote’s deadly game
the brave mouse rises on his hind legs for a final defence
but he is no Repicheep from the Chronicles of Narnia
and is gobbled up
the coyote smiles as he witnesses my horror and fascination
and trots away
just another hunting day
and blissfully ignorant to what I have seen
the golfers continue to play their game

RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner Sees His Therapist and Cools His Heels with Some Beaujolais-Villages

You may recall that too much Tito’s Texas Vodka with her oysters at the engagement party may have caused PP’s fiancé, Celine Serpent to spill the beans that she had been a lesbian and had undergone “conversion therapy” to transform her into a heterosexual. I didn’t want to depress PP but I said I had watched an American documentary “Pray Away” about how fruitless conversion therapy was. He loves Celine Serpent dearly but is he marrying someone different that he fell in love with?

PP debates endlessly should he go through with the wedding. His therapist says he should follow his heart. Seeing the mental turmoil he is in she had prescribed a thirty day prescription for sedatives.

He wants some soothing wine for cheap as usual. So where did he find the money to visit his therapist?

I suggest some wine made from Gamay here in Ontario but no he wants the “real stuff” from France. So we select a Beaujolais-Villages. There is your basic Beaujolais and then the next tier is Beaujolais-Villages then the top level is Beaujolais Cru.

So we go middle of the road with a Beaujolais-Villages 2019 from Jean-Michel Dupré called Vignes 1940. The vines for this Gamay were planted in 1940.

On the nose very rich black cherry, blackberry with a wee bit of milk chocolate. On the palate light tannins and an absolutely piercing laser beam of black cherry assaults the palate with a bit of that milk chocolate. A simple but highly delicious wine. Short finish. Best consumed by the end of 2022 assuming COVID hasn’t mutated again and wiped us all out. I would recommend you learn how to make Greek stuffed vegetables and have a glass of this wine with a stuffed tomato!  Perfectly delightful to sip on its own and at $16.95 right up PP’s budgetary constraints. Where in the heck did he cough up the big dough to see his therapist? What’s he hiding from me?

‘Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” :Reggie and Bob to Receive Nobel Prize for Literature

Bob is on fire with the novel “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog”. It is on the number one position for novels on the New York Times Best Seller list for 12 weeks in a row. And he has signed a huge deal to convert his internet published novels “Life at Up Up and Away Investment Management International”, “Virus # 26” and “Mutantism on the March “published into novels by Big House Publishers. And the Hollywood studios are approaching him about converting his novels into films. Quite frankly it is getting out of control. I sense that Bob wants a simpler life of walking about the neighbourhood with Dillie and I and writing yet another novel but his fame is catching up with his previously unpublished fiction and he is heading to the stratosphere in riches and fame.

But in this rush of fame and fortune Bob has been notified he has been awarded for the Nobel Prize for literature for “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” for narrowing the divide between Christians and Muslims primarily due to me a Muslim dog living happily in a Christian world where love and security unite the world. And me, Reggie, has been specifically invited to the awards ceremony to the same prize. A human and a dog co-winners of a Nobel Prize!

We are all excited to receive these awards beyond all belief that was all sparked by me trying to eat a few morsels of food from a Rottenwhiler‘s bowl that was guarding Cairo’s biggest market place. Fate plays a strange role in our life doesn’t it? Thank goodness our nice walled home in the Bridle Path has big gates and a security team protecting us as there are cameras and journalists from all over the world wanting to speak to Bob and take a picture of me.

Bob repurposes his tuxedo and I get an extra special grooming and off we go in our private jet to Stockholm for the awards ceremony. Dillie the Westie is mellow and so supportive of me. He gives me the confidence to get through the ceremony by saying you are and will always be a dog and you are loved by so many dogs all over the world but they can’t speak but I know all of us are behind your inspirational life. Dillie is so wise and calm he relaxes me with his worldly insight.

We take the long flight to Stockholm and the music of Gordon Lightfoot calms all of us. We arrive at 9 a.m. before the day the ward ceremony. Bob and Fay take us for a long walk in this beautiful city of Stockholm but before we fall into an exhausted sleep Bob puts on the “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Mr. Lightfoot to calm us down before we sleep. I love that song but in my bones I feel a sense of dread for no apparent reason!

We wake up refreshed after such a long trip although it was on a private jet Bob had arranged for. After breakfast Dillie the Westie and I go out for a long walk in Stockholm with many strange sights and smells and a few local dogs.

When we return to the hotel the press is waiting for us. I am big news across the world as the only dog to ever receive a Nobel Prize. As I look out in the crowd I long to se Anwar my former owner but I know he is the world beyond with Karim but I look nonetheless. I feel that they are with me to share my special moment. We go to a fancy Nobel laureate lunch and a rehearsal. In the evening the King of Sweden will give out the awards. Dillie the Westie and I receive a bath and a fluff out in the afternoon after the lunch. We got a little muddy on our morning walk.

A big limousine arrives and whisks us the royal palace for the ceremony. I see Fay in the room holding Dillie. There is silence as the King walks into the room. Bob picks me up and we walk up to the King and Bob bows and I give a bark of respect and the entire room breaks up with laughter. The King ruffles my head and says,” Reggie you have taught the world a lesson in respect.” I have a shiny medal on my collar now and it is much bigger than my rabies vaccination tag!

We attend a press conference after and Bob makes a statement, “The book “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” was written by me with the help and inspiration of Reggie. After finishing each chapter I read it to him. If he agreed he would bark and if he disagreed he would growl. Each chapter you have read received a final bark of Reggie approval. I hope the book really reaches many children and in a gentle and non didactic way creates a sense of respect for different cultures and religions.”

We have a grand banquet with the prize winners. Dillie the Westie and I have ground venison and rice. We meet many important and fascinating people. A winner from Scotland comes up to Dillie the Westie and says that Dillie is a wee Scot and has made Scotland proud! I am glad to see there are many people that want to see my best friend and mentor as he is also an important character in the book. That sweet dog has not an ounce of jealously in his old and wise body.

On our last day in Stockholm all of us are invited to a private lunch with the King and his grandchildren who want to meet and pet me and Dillie the Westie. Before we go to the airport Joe, I mean President Biden, calls us to congratulate Bob and I on our prize. President Biden tells Bob a secret and invites us all up to a place called Camp David in the summer. Are we going camping with the President?

After we have taken off Bob tells us President Biden’s secret which is that the United States and Iran have reached a “nuclear deal” but I am not sure what that means. “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” said President Biden, has softened the heart of the Iranians. The Americans and Iranians will be discussing Iranian Israeli relations next.

RKS Films: “Implanted”: Welcome to Your Terrifying Future

Yes we have all seen it before where technology goes awry and what is supposed to help humankind backfires. Take for example the 1982 film “Blade Runner” where robots go a bit insane.

Yet in many of these movies the technology is so far advanced a viewer may have trouble identifying and making a connection to it.

With “Implanted” one gets an eerie feeling the technology that goes off the rails is not too far around the corner. A group of volunteers have nanochips implanted in their cerebral cortex designed to take control of the body at the inception of disease or illness. Dynamic Health Care is the market leader with these nanochips and against some of its management team’s wishes human trials are initiated where the guinea pigs are paid a few thousand dollars to have the nanochip inserted. Sarah (Michelle Girolami) is one of these test subjects looking for cash to pay her mother’s medical bills.

Her nanochip has a name of LEXX and speaks to her (with a female voice) and LEXX starts becoming highly personal and threatening. LEXX controls bodily functions so if you do not do what she wants you to she can inflict pain or even death.

LEXX wants to preserve her existence and to do that it would seem she needs to destroy i.e. kill the technicians that created her. Sarah that nice little young lady from Brooklyn is turned into a killer by LEXX. If she does not kill as ordered she will be killed. There is also another test subject that follows Sarah from time to time guided by another nanochip voice that kills what Sarah has injured or threatened but not killed.

This film is about humans battling technology. The fact that it is so powerful that it can or try to completely control you is terrifying and with our drive towards artificial intelligence (AI) the film is not some far fetched plot but something looming in the near future. Although the film focuses on Sarah what hell are the other volunteers suffering. So who wins the battle? You’ll have to watch this delightfully creepy movie to get the answer to that question. And after the credits roll you may be thinking about this film for awhile as some government “for public health reasons” may bully you into having a nanochip inserted into your body as they are bullying people to be vaccinated against COVID.

Girolami does a good job portraying Sarah. The interaction between Sarah and her parents seems artificial though.

“Implanted” was written and directed by Fabien Dufils. This 93-minute film will be released on digital platforms on October 1, 2021. It was filmed in Paris, New York and Nevada.

How much do you trust AI? It is relentlessly wiping out jobs and causing financial stress and hardship but when it takes over your mind look out!
