Adopted a Pyr due to a neglect case in Arkansas and Polar was the absolute best boy. Lost a leg to bone cancer at 7 and lived four more years as a tripawd. So loyal, smart, and stoic.

Adding to my vocabulary and plan to drop "frass" into casual cocktail conversation. Much appreciated.

Wondered the same thing so assigned a Canadian to write this (tl;dr they work fine in beliw freezing temps) bluedotliving.com/heat-pumps-d...

If you were an Ontario school kid, you have memories of the Science Centre. I still remember things I learned from exhibits (for instance, just how faulty our memories are for eyewitness accounts).

Similar to what's happened in Canada. So much anger being turned into policy.

Thanks! Londoner here 👋👋
