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.

August Bile, so I'm a bit late

Hollywood Marriages should come with an automatic expiry date. Who knew that Johnny Depp was married?

Windows seems more broken than usual and Microsoft today issued 3 updates. Now that they're no longer trying to foist an unwanted Windows X upon us Update has finally returned to normal without the need to uncheck the auto-update button and the pretence that it is downloading the new OS.

A book publisher liked my review of one of their books. They read online reviews?

In the land of the free and the home of the brave governments may not feel free to tell you not to build in a flood plain but water will take its natural path nevertheless.

The Donald hasn't self-destructed yet? Pity.

Vandal(s) spreading peanut butter on children's playground equipment.

Florida cop kills senior with live rounds during a public relations event.

Doesn't seem to be much job security in being a CBC interview host. Is it the hosts or the failure of senior management's screening process. Ask Strombo or Shad. What did they expect from a Rap Artist. One thing the Gomeshi fiasco served to highlight is flaws in the Canadian Justice System and the reason why more woman don't come forward with accusations of sexual abuse and harassment.

Testosterone, youth, and alcohol, always a dangerous mix as four American Athletes in Rio are discovering. Their chef de mission has had his hands busy baby sitting the team.

Oakville received its second drenching rain of the summer Thursday Night.

I'll be up front. I consider highway tolls an abomination. Governments already tax drivers more than enough to maintain and build highways, unfortunately those taxes enter general revenue and are not designated for highway maintenance and improvement. I resent having to pay for highways twice. Tolls also slow traffic. What we do not learn is the ratio between the tolls charged and the expense of collecting those tolls. Worse, from my driving experience it is often obvious that the moneys collected are not spent on maintaining the highways involved.
