When Zip Met John

| September 20, 2014

“If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it.  The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury.  Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim.” ~ Jeff Cooper, Principles of Personal Defense If you hang out here, you […]

Happy Birthday Mrs. Secord

| September 13, 2014

“The distance to the outpost by direct road was 12 miles but Laura feared she would encounter American guards that way and chose a roundabout route.

The Blacksmith’s Son

| August 16, 2014

The Blacksmith’s Son By LFM The Blacksmith’s Son arose one night From dreams of dark desire. He set the smithy lamps alight, And stoked the forging fire.

As I write this, the first named storm of the 2014 season, Hurricane Arthur, is shedding energy as it churns straight toward Nova Scotia with a load of wind and wet for the weekend. Speaking as a Man with a hand dug well, I like me some wet; and as one who lives in a […]

Canada Day 2014

| July 1, 2014

Today is Canada Day here in the Great White North, and as such offers me yet another opportunity to educate the world in the history of the nation. I’m even more inspired to invoke the Truth because this year marks Mrs. LFM’s induction as a Canadian citizen, and my exposure to the government supplied knowledge […]

Musings on Mindfulness

Spirit Messengers. The term conjures images of animals sent by a higher power to offer guidance toward the right Path.

Let’s Tie Up Some Not So Loose Threads – Part 2 of 2
