Since I moved to Manitoba, September has been one of my favorite months of the year. The bugs have disappeared, except maybe for the odd fly. The mornings and evenings are cool, but the days are mostly bright and sunny.

I don’t remember how old I was when this happened; but I remember the day very vividly. Two days earlier, we had heard of a traffic accident involving one of our local truckers. He had lost control of his rig on a steep hill, had rolled it and then slid down the hill. The tractor of the unit he rolled was a single-axle GMC tilt cab. When I saw how badly damaged the unit was, I was amazed that he had managed to walk away from that accident with only few cuts and bruises.

Very shortly I will go to one of the care homes in town and have a “hymn sing.” The people look forward to this hour of music and singing. Many can not see well enough to read the words, but they know most of the songs by heart. It is enjoyable and rewarding to see a smile or a tap with a foot.

When he first conceived the idea that ultimately became Facebook, not even Mark Zuckerberg could have possibly imagined what it would become in so short a time.
Facebook is, by far, the most widely used means by which people keep in touch with family and friends. It has also become an excellent means of communicating important news and events in local areas. Want to know what’s happening in your community? Log on to Facebook. Someone will have posted something that will tell you what you want to know.

As you read these words, I will be sitting in a bus en route to Minneapolis, Minnesota. My wife and I, along with a family friend, are spending this weekend watching the Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays play baseball.
