Did I mention solid, double lines mean don't pass? No? Well they do. "Here Jimmy, just yell 'home' into this box. No, I mean it. Yell 'home!' "Hi honey!...ain't that some- thing...yeah Jimmy's doing great...he's just activated the E-X dial 11 VocaLink to call you on the cellular...yeah...like 'Look Ma, no hands.' Ha, ha, ha...what a kid! "Look honey, FAX me the seating plan for Jeanette's wed- ding. I want to stop at the cater- er's. "What's that son? ~ No. Generally speaking there's not enough room between a tandem trailer and the guardrail...better pass him on the left. "Yeah honey...it's coming through now. Thanks honey. "What do you think, Jimmy? Crystal clear, eh? Portafax!...cel- lular compatible..international range.,.amazing, eh? "Why just last week Henderson FAXed me a revised agenda for the national sales meeting from his seat on an Air Canada flight over Winnipeg. Can you believe it? Problem was I have no idea who Henderson is...must have misdialed. But from an airplane to a car...incredi- ble. "Look out! Geez Jimmy! Well I didn't think it was neces- sary to explain the difference between an ON and OFF ramp, son. I mean it's pretty obvious. "Oil light? Ne, no...that's the recording light on my answering machine. You sée sometimes if I'm working at the computer and FAXing back reports to the office...I"ll put the answering machine on. I get a big laugh when people call me in the car and my message says 'I'm not in right now..." CORNS? Callouses" Remove them quick! and easily, "But seriously, Jimmy, driving can be a dangerous... "What? Yes, it does matter which way you go on a one way street. "As I was saying Jimmy...you remember when Herb Matheson drove off the Skyway and they had to wait until spring to get him and his car out of the bottom of the bay? "Well...yes it was windy on the Skyway, but the fact is, Herb was having a fight with his wife on the cellular and playing a little Nintendo on the laptop when his boss FAXes him his dismissal papers. Herb lost it, Jimmy. He pressed all the wrong buttons and the battery pack exploded driving the internal scanner aerial up his nose, piercing his brain. The coroner said the E-Z VocaLink hit Herb so hard on the side of the head, he could read the toll-free service number on his right tem- ple. They had to bury poor Herb with his acoustic coupler. "Oh no, Jimmy...not a chance son. Turn that off. If you're going to operate a motor vehicle properly...you're most certainly Not going to listen to rock music on the radio. "Good driving, Jimmy...great concentration." Northern Insights continued from page 2 forestry, as the Report calls for. Until-I see evidence that this-> fundamental weakness in forestry is being addressed, I am quite prepared to remain cynical, and relegate this latest forest report to a box with all the others. I've accumulated over the years - boxes of fine rhetoric, which do nothing to change what's actually happening in the real world. WOOFY' SNEAKERS?

Besides inadequate shelter, another problem many outdoor dogs experience is a lack of atten- tion from their family members. Dogs are social animals. They need love and _ attention. Unfortunately many outdoor dogs only see someone for the time it takes to place the animal's food bowl before it and give the pet a "pat on the head" If your dog is an outdoor dog, at least make sure it is comfort- able. An appropriately construct- ed doghouse inside a fenced-in yard or dog run is a good start. As well, make sure the dog receives plenty of attention.
