    It seems that every where you turn these days, it is becoming incorrect to celebrate the Christmas holidays in “the manner in which you have become accustomed”- at least in the matter in which I have become accustomed. To truly celebrate the Christmas season, and that’s what it is, no matter what anyone says, I…

    Past President And Former Mason Teddy Roosevelt And Mystery UFO

    When one thinks of U.S. Presidents and UFOs several of our Chief Executives come to mind. Firstly, there is President Eisenhower purportedly meeting aliens at Edwards Air Force Base in 1954.

    Why I Am Hooked On Ontario Heirloom Tomatoes

    I’m a tomato snob.  I can’t help it.  I’ve had the best and will never go back. The first summery taste of a home-grown tomato, fully matured on the vine and still warm from the sun  is one of the great taste pleasures of summertime.  You need to experience it to appreciate it. The poor…

    Canuck Star Dan Aykroyd Tells Why Alien Life Refuses To Make Contact

    Of course we are seen as primitive compared to alien life. If we could use 20-30% of our brain, then perhaps we may impress them a bit, and break out of our selfish habits.
