Ferocious winds last night rattled the windows and knocked out power for hundreds of thousands. Before that, we had walked the shore trail past this stone ship commemorating the influx from the Potato Famine in Ireland. Many thousands found food and a home in Toronto 1845-1851. Sailing past on a shakedown run was the world's first all-electric ferry which will serve the island airport run. A boost for the city, like a booster shot for this guy...
The monthly daytrip north to the home on the hill was cheerful and chore-full. The pond ice still not thick enough for a skate!
Those 100kph winds had been forecast all yesterday so planes and boats on the harbour scrambled. Small and large craft came to safety in the quay below. A small tug pushed in a larger tug; how's that for a
David and Goliath?
These December days the sun is rising so far south that it reflects glare to us off windows in the north. Let's get packing --- north or south?
