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.

Weather Tip

Thought I would put up a chart that takes a look at our temperature here in Port Loring Ontario.  The reason for doing this, is so that folks that enjoy the outdoors, will be able to tell what the lows will be at night.  What you do is, look at the chart.  The Green Line shows the Dew Point Temperature. So if you look at that Line the green one, and see what it says for around noon, well… that is what the low will be for the night.  Easy way for you to predict the weather and know when an upcoming frost will be arriving, but lets hope we don’t see that for awhile. But it will let you know if you can turn off that air conditioner that is costing you your hard earned dollars.  Also for more on our weather just scroll down and on the left hand side you will see a Link that will take you to my weather station here in Port Loring.  No Charge. Thought I would share.  With this chart it shows the lows tonight will be around 50 or so.   Take a look.

Fresh Raw Broccoli For Health

Broccoli. This is the time to buy it.  I picked a bushel a couple days ago and it’s in the freezer for winter.  Remember this, Broccoli is one of the best things one can eat in the prevention of Cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.
