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.

Not good

According to the provincial government, more than 60,000 international travellers are arriving at Toronto Pearson International Airport each week despite the ongoing pandemic.

My way of looking at things is to close down the air lines completely until our vaccines are administered. They close the boarders, but they leave the airports open. People say okay, I will park my car and jump on a plane. Being polite and telling folks to stay home isn’t the answer. Oh, some will abide by the rules, but I bet around 40% or more won’t. Then they say no one is to blame, it’s the virus we should blame LOL. Truth be told the virus can’t spread if people don’t spread it. Such it that.

Episode 55: Normal Day occurrences ON THE FARM

Episode 55: Hi folks. I hope you all are well. Ruth and I are making out okay so far these days. Not much has really changed … other than maybe not going on a few trips here and there and visiting with our boys. But, we chat on the phone all the time. Today I have another podcast lined up for you relating to a few things that took place on the farm years ago. I hope you enjoy … Normal Day Occurrences on the Farm. Take care and stay safe.

We have come a long way

It won’t be long before these modern marvels will be walking among us. And the good part is, with something like this virus that is going around they will be immune and be able to do a lot of chores that us humans don’t want to do, or shouldn’t be doing. Like shopping and things. We have a ways to go yet, but as you can see from this video, it won’t be long. I am all for it myself, and I believe … they will be the saviour for us humans. Not what some have been thinking. As long as we keep things safe things will be fine. I just hope I live long enough to be part of it.
