Never fear dear readers. More wit, wisdom, and well deserved attitude adjustment is coming your way. Right now my mind is on Diana and dogs, and little else. Most of my written creative output of late has been going to our Golden Mountain Dog Solutions blog. Give that a read if you miss me. The […]

Welcome to the new and more highly evolved Large Fierce Mammal blog. While I take most of the blame for the written content, I can never take credit for how well this site works or how sexy it looks. All of that comes from the fact that I had the good sense and skills at […]

This past weekend, we received an interesting e-mail that came in via the customer contact form on our Whynacht Security & Survival website. It was from an ADT security customer in New Brunswick that I will refer to only as “J”. J had been on our website and was particularly interested by the detailed information […]

The Tuareg, so called “Blue Men of the Desert” are a nomadic herding people of the Sahara. They like their coffee: Black as the Devil, Strong as Death, Sweet as Love, And hot as Hell.

The mouse on my computer went to shit a few days ago, giving me a double click effect for single clicks with increasing frequency, so I installed a new one today. Imagine my amazement as I read the first sentence […]

In case you haven’t noticed yet, most of modern culture is built on a foundation of 100% pure bullshit. Entire industries make obscene amounts of money convincing people that they aren’t thin enough, young enough, pretty enough, investing wisely enough, would get more sex if they were driving a different car, don’t smell good enough, […]

In my first year of university I shared what was supposed to be a double room with two other guys, the inimitable Michael Gilbert Baker, presently of Nova Scotia Government fame, and a Monctonian named Bruce Andrew Hudson. Bruce’s major was computer science but, in the thoughtless exuberance that so often characterizes the decisions of […]

What’s all this about not talking on the phone while driving? Why is it necessary to even tell people that? When I first got into business in 1983 I used to welcome the relaxation of actually getting OUT of the office and away from the phones. People left messages. Shit still got done. I carry […]

You never know who’s watching. Readers please note that, while certainly not innocent, the raven in this picture was in no way implicated in the sordid tale that follows. One day in the summer of 2000, while I was on duty working police/fire dispatch in Lunenburg, I received a call from a tourist who was […]
