The beginning.

Well it has to start somewhere. So I guess this is as good a place as any.
Basically I wanted a blog where I could give my two cents about issues that were important to me. Some are serious issues while others, not so much.
I live right on the border of Canada and the United States. In recent history Canada has come under attack from some U.S. government officials and even a sports talk show.
This 'erks' the s@#t out of me. Now I have the forum to vent. (I'll be writing at length about this very issue this weekend. Look for new posts early next week)
That's not all that this blog is about.
Beyond politics I am interested in biology and the environment. I am in the midst of compiling a wild food guide to aid forest walkers and foragers located edible foods in the wild. You'd be surprised how much you can bring home to the dinner table from a simple walk in the woods.
I'll be writing about that this weekend as well. I'm taking a trip to northern Ontario this weekend and I'm planning on stopping in the woods on the lake Huron shoreline to forage for wild food. I'll be looking for fiddleheads, mushrooms. onions, leeks and nuts and berries. It may be a little early for the mushrooms and fiddleheads but we'll find out. And I'll let you know what I get from the excursion. If I can compile enough solid information I'm going to try and put together a definitive foragers guide including all the needed info to hunt for food yourself.
Lastly, but not leastly, (on purpose) I'm a pretty big geek. I'm going to see the new Star Trek movie on May 8th. I'm not holding my breathe but I'll give it a chance.
All told look for politics, environment and entertainment to be the focus for this blog. When something catches me as exceptional (whether its exceptionally bad or good makes little difference) I'll take issue.

Until next time...
