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.

Mr. Sunshine got out of bed at 7:41 AM and will set at 6:26 PM.

So all and all not a bad day lies ahead. Yesterday I put my boat to bed, reluctantly for winter, but figured it was time. Nicer to do it now than wait till them cold north winds get to howling. Yes winter is edging its way into our area, but one doesn’t have to let it get you down. There is lots to be enjoyed, like hunting, ice fishing, snowmobile, or for that matter just walking our trails in and around Port Loring. I do a bit of hunting with some very good friends come November, tell a few tales and enjoy some good company. That’s what life is about my friends, one has to remember, all that matters in life, is that we are happy. Accomplish that, and….. well, you have done more than most. Have a great day my friends and soak in some sunshine.

A great day lies ahead my friends. It’s kind of like looking out a window. Do we really see what is out there in front of us?  Or is what we are looking at, only what we want to see. I have often wondered that. Which brings me back to what lies ahead. What lies ahead is what ever we choose it to be. Have a great day my friends.

Good morning. Raining here again this morning but sunny weather is in the forecast for tomorrow, but just a touch cooler. Winds are from the South West this morning coming in at around 10 MPH. Barometer is falling slightly and sitting at 28.56 in Hg. Temperature is going to reach 47 °f and then will go down to 42 °f tonight. If your still in for some fishing and hunting, well the best times will be from 5:26 PM till 7:26 PM, pretty late in the day unfortunately. But it’s that time of the year.

The sun awoke this morning behind some clouds here in Port Loring, at 7:39 AM & will set at 6:27 PM.

So there she is my friends, a bit of rain for today, which we need, but I am sure you will be able to find a few things to do inside that will keep your minds occupied. To keep ones mind occupied and healthy, free from all diseases, one needs to make it work, like crossword puzzles, puzzles in general, poetry, things like that. If you do that every day your mind will stay healthy and strong. It’s like any other part of your body, let it go and you loose it. Simple as that. Have a great day my friends.

Port Loring & District’s Weather, Hunting & Fishing Times

Good morning folks. Well was out of town yesterday and didn’t get to adding things here. But I am thinking being the day it was weather wise, not to many was interested in hunting or fishing any ways. Sunshine though is on the way for today later on. Winds are from the North West coming in at around 10 MPH. Barometer is finally rising which is a good sign and at the moment reading, 28.67 in Hg. The daytime temperature is going to reach 55 °f and the temperature is going to dip to 44 °f tonight. If you plan on doing some hunting or fishing, the best times to be out there will be from 4:35 PM till 6:35 PM. I give it a one star rating today out of five, so….not the best. The old moon will Rise: 9:02 PM & Set: 12:06 PM and be overhead: 4:10 AM & Underfoot: 4:35 PM.

Moon Phase Solunar Table Moon Phase is 82% percent waning gibbous is 82% Waning Gibbous.

The sun got out of bed this morning at; 7:36 AM and will set: 6:31 PM.

So there you go, the sun will shine in a bit, temperatures will warm up a touch and no reason why you couldn’t, if nothing else, go for a nice walk and take in some Vitamin D which we all need so badly, along with a few good breaths of northern fresh air. Yep life is good here in Port Loring and remember, staying healthy sits directly on your shoulders, not the doctors. Cures are in abundance, we just have to search them out. Have a great day.
