The Police Have A Job And Know What It Is
Posted by on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 in - 6 comments
Funny how the pros do not buy the "not in the nature of the country to investigate private individuals" line: • “"...it's important to understand that the RCMP is alive to the fact that organized crime, some terrorist groups, are proactive – even strategic – in trying to access our public …
"I Would Have To Be Insane To Predict Anything Too Positive"

Have you thought about Conrad Black lately? I don't listen to CBC, which seem to have an interest in both creating him and then taking him apart as best it could, so I don't know about these thnigs but I was quite interested to read some of his thoughts about his appeal sent via email from what …
Heat
Posted by on Monday, June 9, 2008 in - 4 comments
I like the heat but maybe not from early June to late September. Over 30C on Friday night and about the same today. You forget pretty quickly how cold the second half of May was and start thinking that the climate changers are right and it will be 45F by next week, 57F in August. We're all gonna …
One Hot Friday Evening With the Watertown Wizards
Posted by on Saturday, June 7, 2008 in - 4 comments
2,370 sat with we four and watched the Watertown Wizards play their opening game for the 2008 season in the New York Collegiate Baseball League. Sure they lost 3-1 but, seeing as we were a little late to the game, we missed the only three runs that Little Falls earned in the top of the first. Lots …
Friday Bullets Of The Sub-Hypo-Mania
Posted by on Friday, June 6, 2008 in - 18 comments
What is the bird that wakes up by making a call that consists of one cheep followed over a few seconds by seven to ten evenly spaced double cheeps in which the second double cheep is slightly highest in pitch, the rest following slightly lower and quieter? That is the one that made me realize I …
Oh For The Days Of Wine And Vinyl

I still have my lps. Somewhere I have a box of 45s and in there I know I have a few marked "promotional - not for resale." I expect half the people who ever worked for college radio do, too. My greatest regret in life is actualy that I did not lift the Toto promotional lp that contained band …
Oshawa
Posted by on Wednesday, June 4, 2008 in - 3 comments
I wrote the other day about how Ontario needs to get selfish within confederation. I've noted in the past how at some point my family sends around $8,000 a year into the budget for inter-provincial equalization transfers, a position which I am both grateful and a little frustrated with. But …
Back In The Saddle Blogging Again With Little Point
Posted by on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 in - 11 comments
Nothing like waking up real late like yesterday. I don't think I've really woken up since Friday. If it wasn't for the actual effect of getting the brain going by doing a little writing, I would have dropped this blogging some time ago. I deleted around 215 spam comments so far today and …
Who Knew Iowa Was An Economic Hot Spot?
Posted by on Saturday, May 31, 2008 in - 3 comments
David was chastising me yesterday for being an economic neg - though I think I am the voice of vibrancy when it comes to the economy as opposed to botched economic policy - yet in order to placate him and those who see the sunshine behind every thermo nuclear cloud I give you...Iowa! • “What is …
