Shooting guns and salivating dog
It's hunting season in the Hills (that's how "we" locals call the Gatineau river Valley)! I can hear shooting around here every day, from dawn to dusk. And of course, the deer population has double on our land. You see, the deer know that we ain't hunters, so they all come to aggregate on our land....

USA crisis and mine!
I'm sure a lot of people breath easier now that we know McCain is out of the picture! But I would not want to be in Obama's shoes: war crisis, economic crisis maybe social crisis.... About social crisis; I went to see Freeman with a neighbour yesterday and as we were walking in his driveway towards...

False Identity
My men left last night after diner for another week in the city. We have not seen Freeman all weekend and I think I know why: "the Boss" (That's how he calls my Mann) was there. It also looks like I passed the exams for the gvnt job. So, they'll call me when there is an opening, or so they say. I...

Guns and cars,,,
Wasn't it nice? To wake up this morning and realized that you have one more hour of laziness in the bed! I love this time of the year. Or more exactly, this day of the year! We talked briefly to a neighbour who told us that Freeman no longer has guns, because the gvnt came to pick them up: he did...

The Saga continues...
A neighbour and I went to see Freeman yesterday. He says he's fine, that he mist his appointment with the doctor on Wednesday because of the snow (the guy who was supposed to pick him up was unable to go up his drive way), and that HE was going to drive himself to the hospital for his check up! When...

Freeman's updates: I have not seen him for two days now! Wednesday, we had a snow storm, so he didn't move from his house. Neither did I. And yesterday, I was in town. But the neighbour told me that he saw Freeman driving to my house. The pooor "dear" he called his bro. to let him know that he had...

Guelou-guelou!
Beautiful sunny day today! Quite a sight with the sun reflecting on the snow! But, it's supposed to all disappear soon: 8oC today and 15oC tomorrow. Some years back (about 7 or 8) the municipality, working with the Québec gvnt, participated in an experiment to re-introduce wild turkeys in these...

Let it snow, Let it snow, let it snow...
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... You should see my backyard, my front yard and my side yards too for that matter! We've got 26 cm of snow last night! That's almost a foot in "ancient" measurement... I took a few pics. because I thought some people might not believe me. So, I placed...

Encounter of the Third Kind!
Well, speaking of the devil: Freeman came to see me yesterday afternoon. He was driving, mind you, even though he knows he is not allowed to. I told him so, but he won't listen. Said he's the police around here! And his visit had something of a "third kind encounter", i.e. I felt like in a movie...
