Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Assume everyone on the road has the potential to be crazy and will signal left and
turn right, jump stop signs and in general be a menace. Your responsibility is to
drive in such a manner that you will have a defensive move for what ever others might
do. It will cost you nothing to leave extra room when stopping and don't get annoyed
with anyone, if you survive you have everything you need. |

 Isabel- Monday
October 6, 2003
Somewhere in the Atlantic: Every so often a picture gets sent from friend to friend
so that after a short while there is no way of knowing were it came from. Ken Styan
got this image and passed it along and even though we have no way of crediting the
photographer it seems appropriate that you have a chance to see this remarkable scene.

October 5, 2003
by: Timothy W, Shire
Tisdale: This huge poplar (Aspen) tree by our back door

 Swift Current
Civic Election and the Casino- Sunday
October 5, 2003
by: Edwin Wallace
Swift Current: The spread of First Nation run casinos
in Saskatchewan has been the promised magic pill to solve economic woes as one city
or community after another things they are going to become the next great Las Vegas.
This "iffy" question is before the folks in Swift Current and it is interesting
to hear what Edwin Wallace has to say about it as he feels the business community
has lined as cheerleaders to back a questionable and definitely not proven idea.

October 3, 2003

 The Race to the Bottom of the Free Market- Thursday
October 2, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems that to increase profits, the goal
of business, is resulting in a never ending search for lower and lower wages that
increases the widening gap between extreme wealth and extreme poverty, world wide.
To add to this exaggerated devolution the United States has reintroduced warfare
as a business strategy.
