Natural Disasters I have avoided in my lifetime;
Tornado…check!
Tsunami…check!
Earthquake…che..wait a minute! Didn’t I feel one yesterday?
Not really, just an aftershock from a 5.0-5.5 quake in the Ottawa Valley.
It’s funny because while my friends and family in Ottawa were pretty quiet about the event, folks in Toronto were once again afraid the world was about to end!
Just received word there’s a fire in Sudbury, has the TO fire department been called yet?
Is there something in the water in Toronto?
Some panic inducing drug of some kind?
Remember that blizzard a few years back and the Armed Forces were called in? Good thing they weren’t in Newfoundland or else they’d have a half filled ark on the shores of Cape Spear!
Believe it or not, what we felt yesterday was a good thing.
A number of years ago a friend was in California and took a desert jeep tour. Standing on the San Andres Fault, a guide told him on average they had 300 ‘quakes’ a day but you didn’t feel them. He also said you want those ‘quakes’….too few and the plate pressure grows until kaboom!
In Canada, we average 3-4 quakes a day. Most, though, are too insignificant to be felt without sophisticated equipment.
So I’m not losing any sleep wondering if the world is going to end, wish I could say the same for Toronto.

You may recall I was on the hunt for copies of Toy Story 1 and 2.
None of the video stores had one, and the department stores had long since upped the price in celebration of Toy Story 3.
Well, after asking everyone I know including every member of the KIX 106 staff if they had a copy, I had access to a ton of copies….on VHS!
Problem was, I had no idea where my VCR was.
I soon realized that if I was going to subject my children to the joy that is Toy Story, I would have to break down…..GULP….and get the DVD’s.
I bit the bullet, and got the DVD’s.
I couldn’t wait to see what my girls would say when they found out what Super Dad had done.
The school bell rang and out came my daughters who were already excited!?!?!
It seems yesterday was movie day at the school.
What did they see?
Toy Story 2.
!@#$!

Shania is off the market!
Just found out this morning that Shania Twain is going to marry her boyfriend Swiss business executive Frederic Thiebaud this summer in Canada.
Maybe Ontario! Maybe Timmins!
We’ll have to wait and see.
