This month, I’m planning to make a bundle of money! Money that has nothing to do with my regular sources of livelihood. I just learned about the possibility last week in an article in Bottom Line Tomorrow. Julie Morgenstern is the latest guru of organization, and I’m always a pushover […]

Ahh summer! The sun pokes its head up so early and stays so late in the evening one has no trouble at all putting in a full day without the benefit of electric lights. Down in Emu–home of some really strange birds–Smitty was taking advantage of the free light to […]
Summer is one of the best times to consistently catch walleyes. Distinct patterns are much easier to set because the lake has settled, and the fish are schooled and making predictable movements. The water temperatures of summer increase the walleye’s metabolism and those fish are feeding more often and more […]

How many walleye anglers out there have sat through countless seminars and watched TV programs where others have told us that when we fish for walleyes we have to fish them very slowly? Sometimes it is necessary to fish very slowly for walleyes, especially when they’re inactive. But there are […]
Spring should be the happiest time of the year. And then, of course, close behind would be early summer. Everything is green and lush. Bursting buds are followed by gorgeous pink and yellow blossoms. Birds warble and sing, and dart about with brightly-coloured feathers. The days are long. The nights […]
Dear sir: It is surprising the short memories people have. A few short years ago, we had a Peterson government. Our economy was in such a poor condition that people voted overwhelmingly to get rid of them. They then voted overwhelmingly and elected Bob Rae to govern. Things then got […]
Dear sir: I have found $300 million–given away of education taxes! Gratuities! Some 10,000 retiring (baby-boomer) teachers, plus board employees, given tips of 230 “unused sick days” at about 50 percent ($30,000). Since they proved ineligible for “sick pay” because they were paid wages, they were paid in full! Gifts […]
