Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Do you sometimes get bored with your same ole' same ole' bit? Its a curious problem
that is not only something that affects us with age, but seems to be part of our
conscious existence. When we lock on to an issue or topic, that seems impossible
to change, we sometimes become a bit frustrated with it and are often unable to move
on to other things. There is no ready cure, just check yourself out and see if you
are stuck on the same thing and in a loop. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 If
the Asteroid doesn't get us, the volcano will. The Bristol (UK) Daily Post story
on a major threat to humanity in an explosive volcano long over due in Yellowstone
National Park in Wyoming. You might want to look at the volcano
watch web site for Yellowstone. |

 Downtown sidewalks- Wednesday
September 17, 2003
by: Doug Hay
Yesterday in the story "Unforgiving" there were pictures and information
about the poor condition of the sidewalks downtown. Today the town's Economic Development
Director explains the lack of wheelchair access, what we need to do about hazzards
and plans for upgrading the downtown area. The pictures of repairs on the area photographed
yesterday were taken at 4:30 this afternoon.

 Bureaucrats and expense accounts:
The never-ending feast- Wednesday
September 17, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
It seems goofy spending is a part of government as yet another expense account scandal
is ermerging. A thirty-four year old former assistant to Heritage minister Sheil
Copps seems to have come close to the line of abusing the money we all send to Ottawa.
Walter Robinson has some suggestions about the problem.

 Aggressive Testing- Friday
September 12, 2003

 A world turned upside down:
Bush's $87 billion for Iraq, the Scandal of the Century in Saskatoon- Thursday
September 11, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
If you think you understand what is going on in this world you just haven't been
paying attention. Strange things and even stranger reasoning seems to propel the
world and its people, though it would nice if this were forward, the evidence is
that regression is now the norm.
