Good karma: provide the COM with free beer. Bad karma: refuse to breakdown a six pack for a single sampling (you know who you are).* My experience is most people practice neutral karma, that being do nothing and nothing happens good or bad. As far as this brew goes,...
Copper Beech is not a waterfront penny arcade or a holiday destination for your local constable. It is an actual tree and once again the Decew Falls team are giving us a local history lesson. The beech tree* at Drummond Hill Cemetery is a memorial to the soldiers that...
The Oilers' Cinderella story came to an abrupt end last night and it was no Disney ending. The Cup ends up South of the border once again, much to the chagrin of most Canadians.* All I can say is 2024-25 Go Leafs Go. In anticipation of a nerve-racking Stanley Cup...
I saw this Guinness Extra Stout a few months ago and wanted to try it but they were only selling it in six packs. Unless I am fridge stocking I only buy singles because truth be told, if it’s the dregs I don’t have enough friends that I don’t like enough to foist 5...

If you thought that “the big chute” is a hunting safari for poor spellers, or Orr’s score for the Stanley Cup winner,* you would be incorrect on both counts. The big chute marine railway is actually a rail lift** at lock 44 at Port Severn that transports boats on a ...
In Asimov’s “Nightfall”* the planet of Lagash has six suns and since they never experience night, every Lagashian has an intense fear of perpetual darkness. With an eclipse imminent, their scientists postulate that the coming darkness will drive everyone to madness...
Back by popular demand, Father’s Day. I tried to get the Grandkids in on the gift giving but they were quick to point out that I didn’t know what I was talking about, that it’s Father’s Day, not Grandfather’s Day.* “You’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’” is what my old man...
