Love is but a dream for many...

While today is Valentine's Day - the day of love, there are many who are lonely and alone.

It is sad to think that can be true, but it is.

For those who have not realized their true love, have faith, do not despair for I am here to tell you that love can come later in life.  My good friend from the Edmonton CMA, Brian Dyksley found love...meet his lady, his wife - Michele: (Congrats you two!!!)

I myself never found my true love until I was in my 40's - meet Mark - the most patient, gentle and caring man in the world:

Yes, for those who think love stinks - remember - “For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.” - Ivan Panin

I wish you all a wonderful day of love and even if it isn't the kind of love you are looking for, know that you are loved and make a difference to your friends. I hope you count me one of yours...

What are your pet peeves?

There is an article in the news feeds today, a pet peeve from a reader of the Cornwall Seaway News, that is peed about cigarettes and garbage being thrown out of vehicle windows by drivers who don't seem to get what a hazard they cause.

Besides texting and garbage being thrown out of windows - what pet peeve do you have when it comes to the general motoring population?

Mine is those who don't observe or seem to know the rules of the road....

Then there is news out of Quebec today about corruption in the construction industry...hmm, bridges and other infrastructure crumbling and crashing and yet millions and millions spent every year... and the political parties are up to their necks in it apparently! SHOCKING, our governments conduct business that way, DO THEY? I wished you could hear my sarcasm...

My question in all of this - with the anti "gang" laws where in if three or more collude to commit a crime, will these politicians and bureaucrats get jail time or will this be another sponsorship scandal where no one really pays the price for the treason that is enacted?

Yah - I thought so...oh well I guess we can dream that one day politicians and bureaucrats will learn to treat our money - the taxes they collect as sacred and to be used wisely...

Like every day, I love it when you talk to me about the topics of the day!
