If you operate on punctual deadlines like we do in the newspaper business, you know that unplanned interruptions can be dismal to your schedule.

Well it finally happened last Wednesday, April 16th! The Rainy River opened in front of the Town of Rainy River.

I am seriously thinking about doubling or tripling the size of my garden this spring.

Thursday I saw a sure sign of Spring when I made deliveries in Emo. The Rainy River was wide open as far as the eye could see in either direction!

Sunday the little kid in this middle-aged body could not resist Mother Nature's temptations!

Following the news on the crash of that Malaysian Boeing 777 passenger jet the past couple of weeks I was astonished to learn how unable we are to track a plane at all times once its transponder has been disabled.
Considering how well the powers that be track each and everyone of our movements daily, I was totally surprised when it was revealed that once the transponder was disabled on the plane, it virtually disappeared off the grid.

In the past week I have experienced a sure sign of spring... asparagus has been on sale at several grocery stores I have been in!

If there is one thing small towns are good at doing, it is pulling together like a family.

Okay Old Man Winter... I give in. You win. You are tougher than this Canadian!

Will Spring ever come?
People are worn down. Some are crabby and the consensus seems to be, "It better get here sooner, rather than later!"
