Send in the clowns- Tuesday
August 3, 2004

to give some thought as to what it is to be happy. Can it be lost, or found, is it
somehow hidden from some or the gift of others?

 GPS
spraying- Thursday
July 22, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
computer has been humming away under the hood of your car since 1978, many cars are
fitted with satellite navigation systems and now its time for agriculture to move
into the electronic age. No need for flagmen or markers, the pilot just checks his
heads up display.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Smoking is not a habit, it is not something
people do to be cool, it is an addiction, an addiction that will kill with certainty
and every effort must be made to assist people to overcome the addiction. If you
are addicted, you must participate in the cure, but you will fail if you try to go
it on your own, get help, quit today. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 "The Bush Administration
Cannot be Trusted" (pdf) Ron Reagan rips into
Bush in an essay in the forthcoming edition of Esquire magazine. The Drudge report has some sample comments
from this new essay. |

 The
Election Result Was Predicted Five Years Ago- Thursday
July 15, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : The
2004 election results came as no surprise to Ron Thornton as he had predicted this
sort of results five years earlier. The math just doesn't work with the problem because
it is not a mathematical problem. There are basic differences between the former
Progressive Conservatives and the Reformers who more recently called themselves Canadian
Alliance.

 It was all avoidable- Wednesday
July 14, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Arborfield :
It seems that we are so often inclined to describe an incident as an accident when
it just may be that a sequence of circumstances and conditions are bound to produce
a negative result. In this story our writer does not have first hand infromation
on this specific event but as a former farm boy and shareholder in a local dehydration
plant his is familiar with the equipment and procedures that cost a young man his
life.

the sky scenes from last Thursday until this morning.

 Already the sleaze
starts leaking out- Thursday
July 8, 2004
by : Rebecca Gingrich
Princeton, Ontario
: The Liberal government has been and will continue to be the government and old
habits are hard to break. $3000 a month is what you have to get by on if you have
a ministeral or assistant job.

Answer Is In the Senate, But No One In The East

 In the cold light
of dawn- Wednesday
July 7, 2004
by : David Orchard
Borden : It didn't
work, the PC party was destroyed so that the right could be united and Canadians
said "no". The Liberals handed the election to the opposition on a platter
but because of the ideological hardline right Harper and his gang did no better than
in the past.
|

July 7, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
