I am looking at how Canada's provincial borders were established.
Today it is Ontario.
The story of Ontario's borders include a near armed conflict with Manitoba, a treaty that divided the Great Lakes and a slow expansion north.

As temperatures drop dangerously low throughout much of the country this week, having a plan in place to keep your animals warm can save their lives. Make sure your pets have shelter from freezing temperatures, wind chill and ice, and be aware of hazards such as rock salt and antifreeze.

It's incredibly disheartening to go to a former employer's site to find stories you've written from 10-15 years ago and they're just ... not there.
Years of journalism, of records, of knowledge, gone.
This is the modern equivalent to the collapse and destruction of the Library of Alexandria.

Although most of the mushrooms have turned to mush with our winter weather here in Oregon, I still occasionally find a few. I found these two huddled against the cold yesterday, with ice crystals on their caps.

Polar vortex disruption to bring colder weather to North America
