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.

Fall Back & Spring Ahead

Yep, it’s that time of year again. And it beats the hell out of me why so many people are making such a big deal out of changing our clocks. Truth be told, most clocks today does it on their own.

But … for those that needs a bit of help on setting your clocks back this year, maybe this picture below might be of some help.

What’s Happening in and around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 4/2022

Starting things off, we are still in the midst of having summer weather. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 11.6 C | 52.88 F, and it will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. We will also see a lot of sunshine throughout the day. By the looks of things, this nice warm weather will remain with us for another week. Can’t beat that for this time of year. After that though, things will start to change.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much yesterday, laid down most of the day trying to heal up what I hurt the day before. It is still bugging me this morning, but I am able to walk around some. So knowing that, I did light the wood stove in my shop to warm things up a bit. Once it is warm in there, I will let it go out, as I won’t be needing it with the temperatures rising. And I am not sure how much I will be able to do anyway. We will see. Life is a dilemma at times.

Other than that, not much happening in our small town. Other than the hunters roaming around in the bushes. It’s not like it used to be, that’s for sure. Years ago, everyone knew where everyone was in the bush. Today, well … you take your chances.
