Building A Fence
Among American poet Robert Frost’s best known lines is one about how “good fences make good neighbors.” As a homeowner I have discovered that this can be true. And I’ve pretty much always had good neighbours. Driving the back roads of Renfrew County, traveling along the Opeongo Line, we got distracted by a sign that […]
Freak Show!
If you think you have see this post before you may have. I was watching the baseball game last night (and not the vice-presidential debate) and got so caught up in the contest I didn’t get around to finishing the post I had planned for today. So here’s one from November 2014 to start your […]
I Couldn’t Resist This One
I wonder if it tastes better without gluten.
Your Monday Morning Smile
At least I hope you smile at this one. I know I did.
Another Country Church
The sign read “Baptist Church” and the arrow pointed down the road, one I had never been down before. I wondered at the designation. My family roots are Baptist (among other things) and I had never heard of a Baptist Church being planted in the wilds of Renfrew County, or at least this part of […]
Abandoned Cars
Who did they belong to? Why were they abandoned? When we’re they abandoned? Are they really abandoned? Is there a story here? Technically I am sure we were trespassing, but there were no signs, or at least none in the field we entered the area from. And we respected the signs on the buildings themselves, […]
Duck Cleaning
This happened last night and the dialogue is as accurate as my memory allows. “Good evening sir, my name is Robert and I am calling about duct cleaning. We are having a special in your area.” I couldn’t resist. And his thick Indian accent made it easy. “Duck cleaning? I am so glad you called. […]
This Space Intentionally Left Blank
There is no post today. You are just imagining that you are reading this. Today’s scheduled post was hijacked by circumstances. The details might fall into the “too much information” category, so I won’t burden you with them. However, I don’t want to leave you with nothing to read. Feel free to click on one […]
Marijuana For Sale
I’m confused. Which makes me pretty much like every Canadian. We can be confused about many things and for many reasons, but what has me confused today is marijuana. And no, I have never smoked the stuff, so my confusion can’t be blamed on overindulgence. It is too much knowledge that causes my confusion. I […]
The Day After
No political commentary today. If you are interested in politics or world affairs, you probably watched last night’s first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. If you are a supporter of ether candidate, you probably need something to brighten your day. If you don’t care about politics, and weren’t among the record television […]
