Born on a mixed subsistence farm in rural Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Moved to Ontario in 1967 to attend University at what was then Waterloo Lutheran University and moved to Oakville, Ontario in 1971. Without intending to live up to the name became a letter carrier the following January and have worked for Canada Post ever since. I retired in August of 2008.

Early June Rant

Not much else doing so here’s a rant.

New Zealand has set 2025 as the year the entire country will be tobacco smoke free! Good for them!

Hurricane Season officially began today but already two have churned their way up from the Caribbean, Beryl is presently spreading rain out over the Atlantic as it slowly subsides.


Neil Gaiman got an honorary degree and gave commencement speech. It’s well worth your time:

Astronomers have determined that our home galaxy is destined for a titanic collision with the Andromeda Galaxy. Not to worry though, Andromeda is presently 2.5 million light-years away but inexorably falling toward our own galaxy. It will take 4 billion years before the event takes place. Just in case you've forgotten in the next 6 billion years our sun will become a red giant and swell to a size that will encompass the orbits of Earth and even Mars.
