WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?
On Monday morning, I did a really stupid thing. I didn’t listen to my wife, who definitely always knows best, and I let our new dog off the leash to pee.
In my defense, the dog is ridiculously small, it was in our partially fenced back yard, and it did encourage her to relieve herself. However, I had no idea that dogs could run that fast.
So a HUGE thank you to Chris, the off-duty fireman, who saw me frantically trying to catch up to the pup as she rocketed down the sidewalk, who offered me a ride in his truck so we could get ahead of her, and gave me a blanket to bundle her back up and bring her home. I couldn’t have done it without you man, and I would NOT have been allowed to come home without her.

Dear Justin Trudeau…
I am appalled at the latest arrest in Saudi Arabia – Samari Badawi, Raif Badawi's sister. And I want to know why we are still trading with these barbarians.
Please stop. This is Canada. I am sick of hearing of us trading arms (or military vehicles) to countries like this.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Re: “BC breweries battle it out in court”, Jan. 28, 2016.
Just a note. You missed a legal issue in BC that's not that old. The brewery in Nelson named Torchlight Brewing was originally known as Beacon Brewing but Lighthouse Brewing in Victoria threatened a lawsuit.
