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.

May Rantings

Hey kiddies, someone's handing out money and no one is checking to see how it's spent. And now we're expressing surprise and indignation that there was some cheating going on. Didn't we already know that governments are the biggest thieves around. Just who is responsible for leaving the hen house door open? Recent pictures of Mike Duffy really do make him look like a pig at the public trough. However everyone who would cast a stone should first submit to an audit of their own accounts first. Let he who is perfect.... Woe betide he who would think that Stephen Harper has his back. Somehow I'd rather hear less about retribution and more about the policies being put in place to ensure this doesn't happen all over again in a few years. Our Auditor General yearly reports on Billions of Dollars of spending unaccounted for and unmonitored.

How did the electorate of Toronto allow themselves to be tricked into electing a buffoon like Rob Ford. The same electorate who made "Bad Boy" Mel Lastman mayor of Toronto now have a real clown on their hands.

Another bridge collapses in America. This isn't the first and it won't be the last.

Hurricane numbers are up for 2013 and the season start is still a week away. Coastal communities be ware. There's already been one in the Pacific.

Canada Post already suffering from last year's $200,000,000+ loss is now trying to persuade customers not to refuse junk mail, a right that has been spread by word of mouth, not by Canada Post. Seems they want to squeeze every possible penny out of their most profitable line.

Last week's unprecedented spring blizzard in Central Newfoundland is followed by a new one in Alberta this weekend. Earthquakes, blizzards, tornadoes, floods.... The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

Why on earth would I go to a bookstore, an electronic one at that, to buy BBQ Sauce?
