Slippery Slope?

There has been an argument for decades about whether to allow the sale of beer and wine in places other than the LCBO(liquor control board Ontario) stores and designated beer stores. One argument contends that we need tight controls of all alcohol sales while the other side argues that in other provinces it is already being sold in regular retail locations and Ontario therefore should be no different. As we are aware Ontario has recently decided to allow sales of  beer and wine in certain retail stores. Is it a slippery slope? Are there legitimate concerns? Take a look at a store I passed the other day in another country. I am glad to see the children can get their lollipops and Johnny Walker together. At least it appears the marijuana is still kept behind the counter.

Tumbleweed

Did you see the latest invasion in Australia. Not snow or mosquitos or aliens but Tumbleweed. They call it Hairy Panic. If you hate shoveling snow or fear mosquitos take a look at what these people are facing. Can you imagine the allergies? You have to see this!

Happy Valentines Day

I was at a friend's home the other day and in honour of Valentine's day they showed me a kiwi they purchased.
 Then they showed me the other one they purchased.
 Happy Valentines every one!

Death,Taxes and Prunes

We all know that we can't beat death and taxes forever but we certainly can try to avoid them for as long as possible. A good tax planner will help you delay paying taxes but how does one delay aging for as long as possible? I just found the answer, PRUNES. According to a recent commercial from Sunsweet as one gets older, "feeling good starts with Prunes". In middle age there are still many things that can make you feel good but as we get older I guess it is all up to the Prune. So enjoy life as much as possible because one day feeling good only starts with prunes.
