"Give a man a mask and he will tell the truth." Sounds like an argument for anonymous comments to blog posts.
Harrison Ford was a guest of Charlie Rose to-night. The talk was about his character role in the movie about Jackie Robertson , first black player in white U.S. baseball.
Later I watched a program on TVO about the life and times of William Shakespeare . I am now not sure where the quote above emanated but I think it was from Ford the actor on playing a character role and assuming a different personality.
I've had to attend to other things in the last several days although I have read the comments and incoming mail .One e-mail respectfully sought a response .
It stated different positions of the Toronto and York Region Boards of Health on cell towers and
phones and asked me to explain.
The Toronto Board's position in the nineties was that evidence of harm from cell towers or phones
is not certain. Therefore the Board recommends 100% more of whatever for protection than the Federal recommendation.
I did write a response , Then I decided adding my two cents worth to the different positions of various expert authorities, would add nothing to the discussion so I deleted it and decided to spend the rest of the evening listening and hoping to hear something illuminating.
In the late news, skin experts were talking about the risk of skin cancer from exposure to sunshine.
The last medical spokesperson noted behavior does not change with knowledge. People still do what they like. Even when they've had a bout with skin cancer they will expose their skin without applying sun block.
For some reason it made me think of a comment I wanted to make for several weeks.
Andy Rooney was a popular curmudgeon who ended Sixty Minutes every Sunday night with a custy comment. He was in his mid eighties. Still doing a job he excelled at. Wood work was his hobby. He complained regularly about the indignities of growing old.
"It sucks" he said,
All of a sudden, so to speak, he was dead.
He had minor surgery for a simple ailment and died from complications of the surgery.
I could imagine what he would have had to say about that,
How could there be complications from minor surgery for a simple ailment?
Either there is no such thing as minor surgery or a major mistake was made in the process.
Thanks to all you masked commenters for keeping things going during the last few days.

Think of us as filler.
I've done the Agenda for this week. What are the chances that some work will be done without the usual red herrings being dragged front & centre?
Speaking of attending to other things, how do things stand with your lawsuit?
Perhaps I can save some people lengthy phone calls with Rogers ? A gal there said that our system is not the only one experiencing troubles with e-mail. It is a problem at their end.

Surely you should know by now to address your question to the Masters of Stall. Or just to MYOB.
The problem with e-mails is nation-wide. Not local. Phone bills will be through the roof for the next few days.
I liked the title of your post, Evelyn, although it also made me sad. At one time, you experimented with using nick-names and it almost worked. But, even after the passage of time, residents are still rightly fearful about being dragged into one of those conspiracy theories. It would be no service to you either. Mayor Dawe's letter notwithstanding. Keep well.
Confusion. I cannot figure out why Councillor Ballard who argued so fiercely about a tower in King is now proposing a trail system to go past an Aurora residence within 6 feet. Is it something in the water? Maybe you have to be special to invoke the NIMBY status? Just saying as I have no vested interest one way or t'other.
Were *you* being addressed, 4:16 PM? No - so take your own advice.
You were really cooking last night, Evelyn. But where were Frick & Frack ? Was it maybe something they ate?
Christopher has had a busy & productive few days too. New items up, most of which I can understand.
The e-mail situation has apparently been cleaned up.
