All posts by George Walters

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.

Morning Chat Feb. 6/2021

Good Morning! Well we all woke up to one heck of a pile of snow here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. Yesterday we had around a foot and overnight about the same. Walking out to the woodworking shop, it was up to my knees and took me fifteen minutes to clean a small path. And more is coming down. Other than being so much, it is sure pretty out there. Temperatures have cooled down some sitting at -8.7 C | 16.34 F. We will see more snow for most of the day, through the night, and into tomorrow, along with a few flurries on Monday. Tuesday it should all come to an end with a bit of sunshine thrown in for good measure. It’s the most snow we have had all winter. The good news is, it isn’t too heavy, but being so much of it, it will be a chore to get cleaned up. I do have Kerry a friend who is cleaning the driveway part this year, so that will help a lot. I am thinking I am going to have to rake off some snow from our car port as it has around 4 feet up there. The house isn’t much better. I will see what I can do. Troubles arise as the pulling hurts my chest and stomach, but in moderation I should be able to get it done. Highway 522 is snow covered as to be expected this morning, and no one should be travelling in this weather. With that I am off for my breakfast and will then see what the day has in store, other than moving some snow. Take care and stay safe. The virus is getting worse, not better as some of the Powers that be says it is. I don’t believe them for a minute. And this thing about opening things back up is pure ludicrous. But it’s what they do. People pleasing. Not what’s good for the country or the people.

Vaccine

Ontario government says it has been incorrectly reporting some COVID-19 vaccine data.
“As a result, the number of people who have been fully vaccinated is half of what is currently listed,” a statement from the Ministry of Health said.

Hmm, And these are the folks we put our faith in to help us. Makes me shake my head.
