On Dogs:
I can’t think of another relationship that is similar to the one which exists between a dog and owner. When a dog looks up at you with big soft doggie eyes, so full of love and trust it makes you want to be worthy of that trust. I’ve got two special small [...]

Posted in our justice system on January 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Since Suzi’s comments on the last post I did regarding Pickton, I feel there’s A couple of points I’d like to clarify before moving on to other topics.
First of all, I stated there was only circumstantial evidence against Pickton. This is wrong. There’s a ton of direct evidence against him. This mistake was due [...]

Tran fats Everywhere, and me without my Glasses I guess I’m at the age now where I really should make sure I’ve got my glasses with me before I go shopping. There’s certain brands I tend to buy, over and over and one of them is Dan-D-Pac. Usually I find their stuff good quality food, so [...]
The Pickton Witch Trial
Posted in our justice system on January 26, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Is there any possibility that Robert Pickton is innocent? I’m just asking. He’s an introverted man who isn’t physically attractive and is rather mousey looking. He’s obviously not an educated or well-spoken individual and has no obvious redeeming qualities. His body language suggests his guilt since he appears to have withdrawn into himself. The media [...]

Today’s entry is going to be a nice political rant. I wouldn’t want anyone who might be reading this blog to think harmless gardener equals complacent about what’s going on in the world.

After about a week of minus ten and below temperatures, the sort of temperatures we should be getting in winter, we’re back to the plus side of the thermometer. I’m not a big fan of cold weather, but I realize we need it. Without a longer deep freeze it becomes more difficult to [...]

I am very new to the world of blogging. I love to write, and I hope that along the way I’ll come across others who want to chat about gardening, current events, philosophical thoughts about life in general. I feel gardening is a wonderful metaphor for so many experiences that most people encounter in life. [...]
