A Real Front…
You hear the weatherman talk about fronts all the time but I have never seen one as distinct as this one take in Ottawa Canada a few years ago. I wonder it is a northern exposure thing? Continue reading A Real Front…

Canadian Winters…
I frequently complain about how cold it is here in southern Indiana but I know that further north is gets much colder. This pic was taken north of Ottawa Canada during a visit there four years ago. I don’t know how long the house has been unoccupied but it shows its age… Continue reading Canadian Winters…
The Mind's Eye
When we visited our neighbors to the north in 2011 we came across many things that we had not seen before the this mural is one of them. The whole side of the building is a painting. It is all make-believe. I spent perhaps a half hour just taking it in. Click on the pic to see a larger view with more details…. Continue reading The Mind's Eye
Wind Mill
Here is an interesting wind mill we found on an experimental farm in Canada a few summers ago. Surprisingly it is an as-is photo…. Continue reading Wind Mill
An Old Friend..
Nova Scotia, Canada I wanted to show you a picture of an old friend I made on our 2011 visit to our neighbors to the north. For some reason I connected with this old guy. Continue reading An Old Friend..
The Darkest Day…
Ottawa, Ontario – Public Gardens It think today is the shortest, and therefore the darkest, day of the year so what is more appropriate than a field of daises. The public garden in Ottawa is a beautiful example of peace … Continue reading The Darkest Day…
Canada and the Volstead Act…According to Will…
Arrived in the Canada capital today. More sentiment here to be annexed by Mexico than by America. They know us too well. If we get any nation to join us it will have to be some stranger. We only have one reason for wanting Canada and a modification of the Volstead Act will eliminate it. Waiting instructions. Will Rogers — 11 October 1926. When we took our extended visit to eastern Canada a few years ago I kind of got the same feeling that Will did almost 100 years ago. Canada is happy to have put off the invasion by … Continue reading Canada and the Volstead Act…According to Will…
A Friend From Canada…

On The Road — Canada here we come…
We got the great-nephew married yesterday and will be heading north in a few hours. It was an interesting few days visiting with the out-laws, I mean in-laws,but I am more than ready to get this vacation officially on the road. One thing I had forgotten about was the ferocious mosquitoes they have here in northern Wisconsin this time of year! I suppose they will be even bigger in where we are going. Continue reading On The Road — Canada here we come…
Gettin Ready…
Got the HHR serviced and ready to go for our Canada/New England adventure We will be off soon after the Fourth. When I have internet access I will be posting about each day’s experiences. But, given that for the first few days we will be in some pretty sparsely populated areas there may be some unreported days. I’m not sure how much wi-fi there is in Canada so this is all a guess with me. I do know that data roaming in a foreign country is VERY expensive so I won’t likely go that route. We have been in Canada … Continue reading Gettin Ready…
