George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 23/2022

Good Morning!

It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring. But the sun is trying to break through. We should see some sun off and on throughout the day. Which is fine with me as I sure enjoy it. Seems to brighten my day in all kind of ways. The temperature is also staying warm, and I suspect it will remain that way for the next four days or so. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good.

On another note, my wife and I managed to get all our outside work done up yesterday. Actually, it turned out to be a great day for working outside. Now my ATV has a home of its own.
Today I will get back to working in the old woodworking shop as I have a few projects lined up to do. And now the ATV is out of there, I have lots of room to work. Makes it nice.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is making for me and will then get to work. Have a great day.

Parking Spots

Now some might think this is stretching things a bit, but with the price of gas these days, along with other things. I’m just saying…
