Will you be snowboarding in your 60s?

Oh yes and I used the icicles to spear fish.

- you did see the icicles? And notice that the sparkly white rock is snow and ice? Of course you did.

I would flee to the US for retirement but only if they have some sort of healthcare in place by then.

30 years at least until I can contemplate not working. Ill be 70 by then.

I hear you! I don't think I'll ever be able to retire, sadly.

Ah ok. My parents live in Cobourg and I drove yesterday in the sunshine from Ottawa to Cobourg and back as my mother had hip surgery (in Peterborough hospital) and I wanted to see her.

Driving on hwy 7 from Ottawa to Madoc you see a lot of former motels and restaurants now permanently closed......but the Log Cabin in Actinolite remains

Not the icicles but the other bits yes. Not that I needed to see it to know the water would be cold as you had recently taken the pic.

But I had another look and the icicles must have melted since then.
