This morning on my way to work I saw a lady walking her small dog down Albert St., which I thought was a little odd. If your dog needs to take a tinkle at 3 in the morning, wouldn’t you just let it out in the backyard to do it’s business? Or, if you live […]

The other day I made my usual stop at the grocery store before heading home. As I was walking down an aisle, trying to find one of the items on my list, I had to walk in front of an elderly lady who was looking for something on the shelf. As I passed in front […]

This morning on my way to work I noticed the first set of Christmas lights shining brightly. I know the next big event after Halloween is Christmas, but it’s only been a couple of weeks since the trick or treaters were at my door. That’s a pretty quick transition into the Christmas season!

Sometimes on the way to work in the morning I’ll see something that leaves me shaking my head. This morning was another one of those mornings. I pulled up to the lights to cross 4th Ave. at Lewvan Drive. At the intersection, waiting to head south on Lewvan, there was an old suburban that had […]

Well, clocks all around us fell back an hour over the weekend. I hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep you got Saturday night! The spring and fall always bring debates about the old switching of the clock. Some want it, some don’t. Some of the arguments against switching the clock are inane. The […]

Well, our Halloween turnout was just as I had expected. We had about 30 Trick or Treaters come to the front door of the Lewis household last night. One boy actually came to house twice, apparently unhappy with what he was handed the first time around. The second time he came I handed him another […]
