Good morning everyone, a little frost on the pumpkin this A.M. Shakey and Status when you look around it has to be hard not to believe in a supreme being. That said along comes a maroon like Steely and it makes one question everything including evolution. By the way Steely I build floors not swab them. I'll see if I can find you a position doing that if you can qualify. Have a great day everyone.

Blackie has not been seen in 3 days.Her last official sighting was in the 300 block of Black road.
Blackie is normally outgoing and friendly and is looking for other dogs and other humans who are friendly and likely to feed and shelter her.
The nearest place would be Village Court and the P patch only one busy road to cross and that would have been done when the traffic is quiet.
Blackie is in an area from 2nd line to Pine st to Wellington st Bennett t o Boundary road Adeline to Cory
Manitou Park has been searched.Trunk Road from Pine to Boundary to wellington Bennett to Boundary have all been searched all with no call sightings.
Today the search will be in the P patch area.Those living in the P patch area look out for Blackie

Grump...In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and all that is seen and unseen..that being said..does it not stand to reason that God being God took into account the changes that occur in enviroment where his creations exist? Change is inevitable? I would think so.
After all he created it! So it would stand to reason that God being God would have made his creations with the ability to adapt and change. We call it evolution and God has had it in the plan from the beginning. God is good God is great he knew from the start to anticipate! My Theory of evolution.

Grump you should be ashamed of yourself picking on an obviously challenged person like Steely. He's trying, lord knows he's trying. Try this Grump it works for me with "Are Dubya" It's a psychological tool called substitution. Every time I want to tell RW to fu#k-off I stop myself and say "that's nice". See in my head I've said it but I still maintain my gentlemanly facade on the outside. For instance Steely's opening remark this morn would be met with a "that's nice". And no one on here is the wiser.

Aceofbass.. I live in the P patch and I will keep an eye out for your beloved pooch... I am a visiting nurse and drive all over town and I have been keeping your missing puppy in mind.
It is a beautiful day and I agree that some..thing, one, being , entity, or whatever is responsible for the beauty we are experiencing.
I am not a church goer but I am a good person and I do "embrace" a "Christian" attitude.
I for one do not need to be ensconced within a building to be part of a religion. There are a lot of people out there that do go to church and play at being some holier than thou person. Take them out of church and they are nothing but mean spirited hypocrites.
So I do my own thing.. and pray in my own way. I am very Thankful for every day that I am able to enjoy, for the people I have in my life and for the experiences that have molded me into the person I have become.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE :)

The gaming hobby of a political candidate has become an issue in a state senate race in New England, US.
Maine Republicans have created a webpage revealing that Democrat candidate Colleen Lachowicz plays an orc rogue in World of Warcraft (WoW).
Ms Lachowicz's liking for back-stabbing and poison in WoW raise questions about her "fitness for office", they claim.
As part of its campaign efforts, the Republican party in the state created "Colleen's World" - a website that compiles information about Ms Lachowicz's orc rogue Santiaga. An orc is a mythical human-like creature, generally described as fierce and combative.
In a statement that accompanies the webpage, Maine Republicans said playing the game led Ms Lachowicz to live a "bizarre double life" that raised questions about her ability to represent the state.
The page also detailed some of the comments Ms Lachowicz has made while talking about her orc rogue, in particular it highlights her affection for Santiaga's ability to stab things and kill people without suffering a jail sentence.
"I think it's weird that I'm being targeted for playing online games," said Ms Lachowicz in a statement. "Apparently I'm in good company since there are 183 million other Americans who also enjoy online games.
"Instead of talking about what they're doing for Maine people, they're making fun of me for playing video games," said Ms Lachowizc.
Ah, US elections never cease to amaze. What will the Republicans think of next?

Hey happy thanksgiving every one. Happy to report all went well at Hilton Beach haulout yesterday, proving once again sailors are a hearty breed. My stepson and I got the elderly lady to the dock in forty knot gusts and Spelly's gang did the rest. The crane lifted her out of the water and the men put her on hardwood blocks and supported with jack stands. Now guys stick your fingers in your ears for the next part. My mechanic came on board (my spouse) and winterized the engine by draining the block and filters, removing the thermostat then sucking two gallons of plumbers antifeeze thru the block, removed the marine batteries and cracked open the cylinder head cocks. I helped by passing her the tools. Some day she says she will show me how it's done!

I have been an amateur astronomer for about 23 years now.
Astronomy is what led me into many other areas of science.
The big bang theory is a marvel of a theory is it not?
Trying to understand some theories of modern day science can be a monumental task to say the least.
Took me six months to read A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking.
Reading the words is not the problem, but grasping some of what the guy is talking about....
It was reading about thermodynamics in this book that threw what I thought was a monkey wrench into the big bang theory.
In thermodynamics matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
Energy and matter can be changed however from one form to another.
So to state that the universe was created from nothing, the big bang theory, goes against the theory of thermodynamics, no?
Something starting from nothing.
The Universe, prior to the big bang, is said to have been smaller than a pore on a humans skin, yet with the big bang space and the universe began to spread like the surface of a giant trampoline.
I get a kick out of the fact that folks that state they believe in science, will believe in this, yet throw the idea of a creator out the window all the while stating that they have an open mind.
Personally I think they need a "big bang" in their cranial cavity.

You don't come across as one that is incapable of self education.
You do not have to be a Stephen Hawking to understand a lot of this.
There is a mountain of information presented in videos, books, T.V. documentaries etc., that simplifies it so the average Joe can get it.
Check some of it out, but be careful, it can be like fishing, once you are hooked there is no stopping what might happen.
You just might move yourself up to an agnostic.

No man would ever write that.

Point of interest - We are paying for that indoor soccer field in the West end, I drive by it twice a Day, more on the weekends - The parking lot is empty, bone dry as in nothing, nada. Are we heating that big barn to?

skipper... the indoor soccer field should start seeing more use now that fall is here and winter approaching. (The McMeeken stands empty during the summer months, too.)
The Korah branch of the Public Library has been relocated to that building, too... there were people going in and out of that on Saturday.

btw... a week or so ago someone was asking about ship's horn signals.
Yesterday, while taking a break down at the Marina, I watched to ACR sister-ships pass each other. One was downbound from the locks, the other upbound through the Sugar Island channel.
They obviously communicated their passage by radio, as there was no horn... until the moment they were side-by side. Then, the downbound ship sounded the 'passing to port' signal, which was repeated by the upbound ship.
From my vantage point of a couple of kilometres away, it appeared as though the horn signal was used more just for fun than as something required.

Wow, I think you should study positive attitudes.
Not enough "gripe water" as a kid or was it to much as an adult?

I am a firm believer that science will eventually prove that all that is, is part of intelligent creation.
We are on the cusp of so many wonderful discoveries.
Look at just the last 150 years, electricity, the light bulb, the printing press, television, mass communications, splitting an atom, space flight, DNA, the Genome, the list is endless and gets longer, faster, as time goes on.
We have not even scratched a small corner of the surface.
I can understand an agnostic but these atheists...man talk about the gates of their mind slamming shut.
Pity for them.

Speaking of atheists, non believers, believers,science, history, etc etc etc.
Question for you............ you all believe in Christmas and celebrate the "holiday season"........... if you are a "non believer" I shall assume that Christmas is of no importance in your life and there is no celebration with family, no presents, no dinner etc.
Go ahead, dig yourself out of that one.

Further to right wing's comment -
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:4
Just look at a modern highway or a busy airport to see many running to and fro.

Spelly...well said.
As much as anything I feel this is a time to pause and reflect and to give thanks.
There is no 'religious' reason to do this.
I think we all as a tribe realize that time is changing, the world around us is gently getting ready for the winter and the crops are in.
In eight days there will be no moon light.
As sophisticated as we think we are we naturally know that it is time to pause and give thanks for whatever bounty this planet has afforded us.

This is indeed a great time of the year and I would find it very difficult to not have faith the way things unfold. That said I'm sure everyone has to get there on their own or not and I would expect there is also a reason for that. Other than that after the dinner I just went through I'm not sure I can get up from the table. There is much to be thankfull for.

I was a wit's end lost hours of sleep with worry.The Guardian Angels of little Dogs Nancy,Arjay.Penny all had given their all in this search.The trail ran cold for 3 days.
Things did not look good and the worst was looking bad.
I did what I do best was stop and hand it over to God ,St Anthony, The Virgin Mary,My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the people of Sault Ste Marie.
Now the atheists and not believers will give the argument.I beck to differ.
With all the wild critters out there,foxes, coyotes, hawk ,eagles,bears as the days went on the window was closing.
It is went I went to my church and in desperation asked for help.I handed it over.
This morning I got a call that at about 8 am that Blackie was spotted at Queen and Lake Street.We al l search the park and nothing then when I was canvassing the P patch I got the call from Amber at about 1230 We had Blackie back.
This was a miracle and the people of this City were all part of it.

If I asked ACE why god didn't help the Jews during the holocaust, he'd say god doesn't interfere in our lives...but he prays to saints, and claims a religious miracle found his dog....
Thanks for making me even more "faithless"

Jeremy sometimes you just have to believe.
I cannot explain the holocaust,I cannot explain famines,I cannot explain wars,I cannot explain serial killers.I cannot explain why Muslims want to kill non Muslims.
I cannot explain why the people of Sault Ste Marie are great people who care about others.
Do you believe in morally bad and wicked people? These Evil doers do things like the holocaust,wars and create famines,. Over the years there have been real nasty not nice people who are just nuts.
I cannot explain their actions.So if there is evil out there there is good to.
Good Orderly Direction GOD for short.
You have the right to believe or not believe Happy Thanksgiving.
