Well, have you made up your mind yet?  You’ve had eleven weeks to decide but I’d be willing to wager that you had your mind made up long before then.  As a matter of fact I would suspect that there hasn’t been much done or said over the past eleven weeks that has had much…

Thousands of people have been descending on the small Cape Breton village of Inverness, all seeking the chance to turn over a single card and win a fortune.  The game is Chase the Ace and it’s a fund raiser for the local legion.  You play by purchasing 5 tickets for 5 dollars and if one…

I thought I was booked, I was planning on going and never doubted for a minute that I wouldn’t make the trip.  Back in June, I booked my trip to represent the Atlantic District at a conference in Michigan.  I even paid for it, and then I tried to check in online only to have…

I read an article a while ago that said that we will spend 5 years of our life waiting in line! I was probably reading it while I was waiting.   There have been times that I’ve felt like I waited 5 years in one line, usually behind someone checking lottery tickets.  That doesn’t even…

I have never watched 19 Kids and Counting, I didn’t watch 18 Kids and Counting or 17 Kids and Counting. I have never had the slightest desire to peek into the lives of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their brood. If reality TV had to rely on me, then television would look very different. …

It was like a flash back to the 70’s without the long hair, bell bottom jeans and great music, or as Yogi Berra said “It’s like  Déjà vu all over again.”  What I’m referring to were the scenes last weekend when gas stations across Nova Scotia began to run out of gasoline.  When I left…

I love the smell of moral outrage. I read today that a group of Ashley Madison clients have joined together for a class action law suit.  If you’ve missed the news, Ashley Madison is a website whose specific purpose is to hook up married people who want to cheat.  Their slogan is "Life is short.…

Perhaps you’ve seen some of the warnings and maybe you’ve even shared them.  Many of the warnings have been showing up on Facebook and other social media.  They involve Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) and they are alarming and true.  People are being warned that DHMO is used by the nuclear power industry, that it is used…

I'm supposed to be on vacation, not writing, but I just have to ask: Seriously ,what is wrong with society today? I like lions as much as the next guy; in an abstract way that is, I don't really know any lions personally. And in vague terms I thought “that's a shame” when I heard about…

Well, Cornerstone is producing electricity.  Our 11 KW array is now connected to the “grid” and any excess power that is produced in the run of a day is sold back to Nova Scotia Power.  And that is cool and confusing.  I kind of understand how power is generated, in particular from turbines, you know:…
