Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Driving car is not like riding a bicycle it requires continued practice to keep the
skills and anticipated timing up to par. The easy pace of rural life and small towns
does not keep you up to the level needed for urban or multi-lane traffic. The simple
solution is that at a regular interval you need to engage in high density travel
with your vehicle to maintain your competence. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
| "Whatchu talkin' 'bout," That's right Gary
Coleman, the former child TV star and Arnold Schwarzenegger are seeking election
as Governor of California. |

Ensign Notes
|
| Summer holidays: That's right, 2003 is the first year since 1991 that we have had
a chance to take a holiday. During June, July and the first two weeks of August we
will have some intermittant days when Ensign will not post. Our plan is to
do some tripping and camping here in Saskatchewan. Posting today, but will not
post Friday or the weekend, Summer for us is nearly over. |

 A Letter to the Prime Minister
about BSE- Wednesday, August 6, 2003
by: Peter MacKay
We received this letter while on our recent trip into the states and saw first hand
how the absence of Canadian beef in the US market has sent the price of beef well
above average. While here in Canada we are seeing cattle feed falling to unheard
of low prices. This situation is terminal for many and must be addressed. Peter MacKay
has a suggestion.

and Iraq- Friday, July 25, 2003

needs your full attention.

 Plymouth Fury,
1958- Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: R. W. Shire and Timothy Shire
What kind of world must it have been for there to have been a time when someone would
design a car that looked like this one. Definitely makes one think about the exuburance
and enthusiasm of the 1950s.

 The gospel of fairer taxes in accordance
with the preachers: Mr. Robinson and Friar Thomas d'Aquino- Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The motivation behind the policies advocated by some of the "experts" needs
to be questioned. Mario suggests that the way of thinking may even be a problem as
the problem may not even be the problem.

by: Timothy W. Shire

 Memo to the Premiers: No
more tax collectors … thanks, but no thanks- Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
At the recent premier's conference in Charlottetown the idea of the provinces going
it alone to collect taxes was once more trotted out to show their displeasure with

 The GREED of the Free Market is not a
matter of public or private services: SHIN and SAIC, Romanow and Robinson- Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Guilt by association, at least motivation by association seems to be the underlying
theme as Mario reports on the cozy association Saskatchewan's government has had
with one of the world's leading arms dealers and developers.

 The Convertible
syndrome- Thursday, July 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
In a country where there are years when the weather is not good enough to find a
day to put the top down the idea of a topless car is like forbidden candy or like
winning the lottery dreams.
