Helping beats hating (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Early last week, hateful shots rang out, disrupting our precious peace. That gunfire was directed at a place of worship – any worship, is obscene. That congregants were attacked in their spiritual sanctuary is sacrilege. That they were targeted for being Jewish reflects rage-fueled stupidity. My initial thought; how vital stationing an officer outside a community synagogue had been, and how incredibly sad it was necessary in Canada. I next thought of the officer’s well-being – unidentified then,
Anne’s Cat Capers II (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That Saturday evening at the fence, observing Molly and her kittens at play in September’s spectacular, setting sun, gave me renewed hope of helping them. And as someone in the hood banged a terrible noise, the three kits shot like missiles, into their hiding place. I had the new den.

Labour Day weekend held no small amount of mischief, followed by a short, intense week and peril-packed September 8.

Labour Day Weekend come and gone, and where did my summer go? I didn’t get anywhere, beyond my backyard and visits with friends.

For despite having to touch way too many weeds, triggering skin reactions and aggravating injuries, the warmth of the sun touching my face felt mighty marvelous. N
Lake Ontari-ari-ari-o forever (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where do I get some cotton “Lake Ontario” sweatshirts for Christmas? There must be a Canadian factory who’ll produce this year’s most popular gift. And since copyright doesn’t apply, any of us can create our own take on the Lake. Wear them every July 4 north of the 49th, so lighter T-shirts will be needed too. Heck, let’s wear ‘em on every American holiday up here. We’re not venturing to the land of tacky takeovers, and this is for us. America’s autocrat doesn’t much respect inclusion, or tradit
