With sincerest condolences to those families involved.

We grew our own pumpkins this year. I know where we will be going, for pumpkins, next year, for the best looking pumpkins I have ever seen.

Fellow Canadian, Alex Trebek, the host of syndicated game show Jeopardy! since 1984, passed away from pancreatic cancer Sunday. He was 80-years-old. The Canadian-born host revealed he was suffering from Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in a video posted to the show’s official social media channels on March 6, 2019
This remains one of the few TV shows I like to watch. 117340

It is one of my favorites as well. It just won't be the same without him. Alex was one classy guy.

Bet she'll love it. I got both of my dogs at a year old, and they had seen snow.
One had never seen the ocean, and when he did for the 1st time, ran down onto the dock, and right off the end! One surprised and wet dog! Came up sputtering and scared. Took two of us to lift him back onto the dock.

Today is a national statutory holiday. Today is Remembrance Day in Canada aka Veterans Day in USA. 117756
The attendance, at the memorial sites, will most likely be reduced to a very few persons, this year, because of covid19 restrictions.
On the eleventh day at the eleventh hour in the eleventh month, everything stops here for a minute of silence.

As it should be, we must never forget those lost or the reason for their sacrifice.

Did anyone else experience the forum shut down last night?
