This where all those in the prairies laugh at Toronto for being wimps
and where Toronto laughs back because if the shit hits the fan the army will come

If you're as lazy as I am then there's still a half bag if salt by the front porch and the snow shovels are resting against the shed.

We have leaves on the trees, a panorama of reds, oranges, yellows and still some greens. I considered wearing some sort of jumper today but decided it would be excessively warm.

We have a big fir tree - or whatever it is - in our back garden. There's one little patch where the needles are sort of yellow among the green. Never seen that before. I hope this doesn't mean the tree is dying and will fall on the house.

Winter is coming...
Canada winter forecast: Snowy season to yield best ski conditions in years; Arctic blasts to freeze the Prairies
