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.

June Wail

Have been doing some wash. I have a long-sleeved T with an Orange stain mid-chest. Perhaps rather than attempt to bleach it I should have tie-dyed it. 
Is it just me or have there been a lot of iconic people we grew up with popping off lately, and more disturbingly, a lot of them are younger.

Since I’ve been back home I’ve been looking through my cupboards. Back when I picked up a small container of Freeze-Dried Red Rose Tea that obviously didn’t catch on. It’s freshness date is 1993, it’s over 23 years old!

Just got a friend request on Facebook from an unknown female. Before I had a chance to check it out the profile had been taken down. Must have been another one of those come hither sirens trolling for victims.

In America the separation of church and state is supposedly enshrined in the constitution “In God We Trust” on coinage notwithstanding. In Ontario Separate (Catholic) Schools are supported by the province. In contention right here in Halton Region where I live is a conflict between provincial policy on gender identity and orientation and Catholic Church Dogma on Sexuality. 

The Donald: the Joker’s Wild. 

Senator Mike Duffy was found “Not Guilty” on all charges relating to his expense account spending. One suspects the original charges to have been politically motivated. Who is guilty of the greater crime, Senators for fudging their accounts or those who prompted the spending of millions on prosecuting these individuals to no result? Could not a less expensive means been found to tell politicians that business as usual was no longer acceptable? 

Just thought I was tuned into the wrong radio station when a jarring commercial aired and was about to switch stations when I suddenly recalled that CBC is now reduced to airing commercials. Add to this the fact that CBC 2 is reduced to airing only 4 or so hours of Classical Music weekdays. What is the world coming to?

Ah, the joys of transgender politics. Would you rather she hoiked up her skirts to use the urinal in the men’s or tinkled in the ladies’. Neither? In Quebec matters are far less circumspect. In most campgrounds I’ve stayed at everyone uses the same facility. The waterclosets and showers are behind locked doors and everyone uses a common washup area.
