Why are you making me look and feel like an idiot? Yes, me personally. Do you remember 2006? Back when we had that election thing? I used one of my votes on you. I did that because I listened to you speak and read my newspapers regularly and thought you would be a good choice. …

I Made Both Papers!
Yea! Woo! My letter to the editor about roundabouts has made it into both papers. Maybe it’ll make people think. And it looks like they pretty much left it untouched.
One Letter In, One To Go
Remember yesterday when I said I wrote a letter to both papers? Well, it’s been published in one of ’em. I even got in the opinions section, not just the letters to the editor! Woohoo!
More Impaired Judgments
Last year Iwroteabout a drunk driving related case that really made me angry. I won’t go into all of the details, you can click above if you want to refresh your memory. If you recall, in that post I questioned the competency of the judge who made the ruling, Justice Colin Westman. Well, it looks …
The guide Dog handler Who Cried Wolf
This is the first time I’ve been in the paper and not looked forward to seeing it go to print. Tell me something. If you click the link to the story, do I look decent in the picture? I left the house only intending to run a couple of errands. I was not thinking about …

I wish I’d run home and written this post on Thursday night when it happened, It would have been a much more positive post than it is now. Guelph Transit drivers have finally been ordered to call out stops. So, after they stop at one stop, they call out the next stop so even us …
The Only Thing Growing Is Suspicion
I’m kinda rattled, so maybe it would help if I wrote this down. I went today for my once a year appointment with my endocrinologist. Oh I feel like someone with not much of a life, blogging about medical issues. But I’m upset by what happened, and I’m hoping that someone else might read this …
Welcome To 2006
Well, that whole thing right there was pretty pointless I’d say. Let’s take a look at what happened. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives won a minority government, just like last time. It’s a slightly stronger one, but a minority is still a minority. The Liberals have a leader in Stéphane Dion who whether he’s admitting …
