One of the many problems afflicting the world is the blind acceptance of the legitimacy of what have come to be called “non-governmental organizations” or “NGO’s”. Where once were organizations we all recognized and understood – the Red Cross/Crescent, the Salvation Army, to name but a few – we now have a plethora of organizations, […]

In a speech delivered in 1999, physicist Steven Weinberg said, “Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you’d have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.” I get endless mileage from the line that if there’s […]

I suppose so, but now he’s one monster that will never fly again, even though I personally wouldn’t mind taking him for one last ride far out over the north Atlantic. And here’s another dark sentiment for you – I wouldn’t […]

In my 27 June 2010 article titled “The End of the World” As We Know It, I mentioned the party I hosted on New Year’s Eve 1999, the night the world transitioned into 2000 and everything was supposed to go to shit. The party was held at my place of residence and business which I […]

Not counting cellular and satellite providers, there are two options for telephone and internet service in Nova Scotia – Aliant and Eastlink. This article deals with the former company. Eastlink has so many issues I’ll be dealing with them in coming weeks. As a heavy user of the services provided by both companies I would […]

I was on a construction site last week. A historic old church in Mahone Bay is undergoing renovations and I was there to inspect the upgrades made to the fire alarm system. One of the structural changes involved the addition of a mezzanine above a portion of the Sunday School hall. Access to the mezzanine […]

Mrs. LFM and I work professionally in the field of dog rehabilitation and dog owner training. It also periodically happens that a dog can no longer remain in its present home and we are called upon to be involved in the re-homing process. Some of these dogs have issues and require rehabilitation before they can […]
