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 and around Port Loring Ontario on Oct 19/2022

It’s a cool morning here in Port Loring. The temperature waking up was sitting at 3.4 C | 38.12 F. It’s cool enough that could see a flurry here and there throughout the day. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning, as we are having some light rain at the moment.

On another note I did get my snow tires and oil change done yesterday, but we found that my brakes aren’t all that good, so he ordered some parts for that which we will get done in a few days. It always seems something comes along to take your money these days. I don’t know how many times we had to install new brakes and rotors on our vehicle since we bought it, but it has been a few, that’s for sure, along with other things too. They sure don’t make cars like they used to do.

Today I will take it easy as I am not moving like I should be, so best to stay put for a bit. I never know what a day might bring these days.

With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and, well … we will see. Stay safe.

Things Change

Hell, I can remember when there were no TVs. Hmm, not sure if that is a good thing. But we did have one similar to the picture below. She was a beaut.
