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.

Episode 69: Pipes And Cigars

Episode 69: Hi folks. I would like to take a minute here and say I am sorry for not putting on a new Episode last week. What happened was, I was busy outside doing a few things and plum forgot about it. I was told about it though LOL from my Cousin John. He called and casually mentioned it. Glad he did, as while I had him on the phone, we had a good old chat. With that … I hope you enjoy this episode. Take care and stay safe. George Walters

Morning Chat April 29/2021

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 7.3 C | 45.14 F. If we are lucky we could see a wee bit of sunshine off and on throughout the day. For the long range forecast, here in Port Loring, things isn’t looking all that great, with lots of clouds and rain entering back into the picture for a few more days. On another note we are still burning firewood these days. I have been lighting the wood furnace every morning to take the dampness out of the house and basement. I haven’t been doing much work in my old woodworking shop, but we did manage to get out for a few hours on Tuesday getting things levelled for our new shower house for our cottage. It will make it nice for family and friends that want to come for a visit. Once things settle down a bit with this virus that is among us. I am also thinking we will be doing some mowing soon, with the way the grass is growing. In some places it is ready to mow now. And after that it won’t be long before we can plant our vegetable gardens. I can’t wait for them to get growing, so we can have fresh salads and things every day. Today I will be working inside being kind of cool, and wet. The cold wet dampness sure plays havoc with my sinuses and body these days. Sign of getting old I suppose. With that take care and stay safe. These new strains of the virus is sure taking its toll on the younger folks. The problem is … if they keep up these protests and things, along with not wearing a mask things will get a lot worse for them and others; The way this virus mutates is from lots of people congregating together. Just look at India what happened when they opened back up. Not a good thing to be doing in my eyes. Also, we should shut down all air travel till we get things under control with these vaccines. Anyways … have a good day, make it a good day. GW

Interesting but understandable

U.S. set to begin sharing its entire stock of 60 million doses of AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccines. And they aren’t using it for their people.

Hearing that; it sure sends up red flags around this Vaccine. I think we all have to take a serious look at things before using. My Opinion only!
