Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Though we often confound our lives with
seemingly impossible problems things really are as simple as daisies. Take a step
back from confusion and smell the flowers. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 For those who haven't seen
the show, on Fox is a reality series called Trading Spouses. The couples
they're on now is pretty much unreal. It airs Tuesday nights with this past weeks
episode coming on again Monday. It is worth a look. |

in the clowns- Tuesday
August 3, 2004

 GPS
spraying- Thursday
July 22, 2004

Tisdale : The
computer has been humming away under the hood of your car since 1978, many cars are

into the electronic age. No need for flagmen or markers, the pilot just checks his
heads up display.

 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.
