"I am terrible at remembering names, birthdays and things that sit on my tongue and stay there".  ....George William Smith, May 22, 2023

I am the last living male line heir to the founders of the "Democratic" Party of Canada who is a Canadian citizen by birth.  Here in Canada we have a "New Democratic Party" so named because there was already a "Democratic" Party.  I'm 79 and thinking of running for my father's party.  The current "New Democratic Party" is so far left that my dad would not recognize its principles, if you could call them principles.  

The 2023 George Smith Special will be the same course that was used in 2022.  The course is 6.6 km in the trails west of the Kinsmen Field House and east of Emily Murphy park. The first two laps are flat and a total of 2.52km, starting at the middle tree (see map below).  You head straight west to #1; take a right hairpin turn to head east.  It is important to note that you do not change direction unless it is flagged to turn.  Continue to 2-3-4 and then repeat the lap.  When laps 1 & 2 are completed, turn south as directed at #5 and continue thru 6-19 till you complete the 3rd lap and you are back at #5. Repeat the 4th lap.  The course finishes where you started.  Beware especially of roots on the 3rd and 4th laps as they alternate hills with flat sections. Safety and fun are your main priorities.  You may walk, jog, run or race the course, but the draw prizes are awarded by random draws of all registered entrants.  There is no entry fee, but you must send me an email to enter, which acknowledges the risks of trail runs and you do so of your own free will.  I will email you back to acknowledge your entry and a possible draw prize.  Comments and suggestions are always welcome at anytime. 

Below is the map of the course.  You can download it here.  You are encouraged to check out the course at your leisure to make sure you have a safe experience. Take a copy with you to avoid getting lost,.  You can do the course multiple times, but can only submit 1 entry for a draw prize. 
The George Smith Special 2023 entries are open from June 1st - September 2, 2023. Prizes drawn Sept 3rd.



I spend the whole day talking to myself.  We have some really enlightening conversations.  I teach myself new things everyday that make me a better man.  I listen when I should and talk when I should.

It's not whether you did good
Or whether you did bad,
It's about good the fun you had.
It's about a good kid
And the things you did.   GWS3rd, April 29, 2023

My parents lived in South Lake Tahoe,  not far from Mammoth Lakes where this picture was taken in 2023.   While visiting mom and dad, I remember going outside in a snow storm every 30 minutes with their snowplow to take another 6-9" of snow off the driveway.  The sides of which were 10' high already.

The joy of youth is to have fun without worrying about the baggage you might leave behind if your intent is moral…George William Smith III April 4, 2023

And now in 2023, we know the corruption was even worse than we thought in 2022!

$22 Billion Federal Carbon Tax Revenue collected, Less than 1% returned to Small Business.  If small businesses keep declining, pretty soon there will be nobody to pay taxes in Canada.   

Tip to the American people:  With some exceptions, your court system is corrupt from top to bottom.  They serve inequality as their master.

Proof that Climate Change is 2023 Hoax.

Dr. Kulldorff: There Was Never a Scientific Consensus for Lockdowns "At the beginning of the pandemic, I was scared for about 10 minutes," professed biostatistician   @MartinKulldorff

But quickly, it became clear that young people were not at risk. We should have never locked down, explained Kuldorff. But this perspective was swiftly slandered and then censored. And because of that, irreparable harm was done. "So, these are things that we have to live with now and die with for several decades."
