    Happy Father's Day?

    Where is the Happy Father's Day thread. Isn't everyone comparing their presents? I helped my son pick out a gift for his dad: I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, by Tucker Max ... quite the comedian, law student from NC. What did everyone else get? (I hope I put this in the correct category ...

    So How about that Mail Strike?

    I say reduce [Canadian Union of Postal Workers] salaries for incoming employees. Why not. If someone will do it for less, go for it. "One of the issues is a salary reductions for new employees. The company wants to reduce labour costs by reducing the salary of new employees from $24 an hour...

    Some of my photos

    Beautiful. I should have lived on the ocean, but I was born on the prairies. I wouldn't laugh about the number of tries to get it right ... I've done it too ... walking along to get the right vantage spot ... the thing is, you know when you got it right. I've stepped thigh deep into ditches...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    I guess the vaccine will be released on October 12. I think I'll get it. The only question I have, which I haven't yet researched, is if I had the H1N1 last year, is it really a good idea to have a vaccine that contains it again? I don't think anyone needs two doses of it.

    Rate your Doctor

    http://www.ratemd.com/canada/index.jsp This site was mentioned on the news last night ... a good way to see what people think about your doctor, or an opportunity to add your doctor to the list. I don't think doctors like the site.

    The Loss of A Great Environmentalist

    I'm just reeling from this news ... did anyone else know him? "The 33-year professor [Dixon Thompson, 64] of environmental science at the University of Calgary's faculty of environmental design had scaled mountain peaks around the world, but it was a freak mishap that led to his death. ...

    Dinning Alone

    So it seems to me that the cure for Dinning Alone is to force some drunk guy to have sex with you so you can then entrap him into buying you a house, a car, and supporting you for the next twenty years. When that child becomes about 10 years of age, teach the child to cook. Then you can Din...
