Editor's Note

One of the joys of living in the Great White North (i.e. the Laurentians of Quebec, Canada), is clean air, incredible winters and summers., and healthy living.

On the downside is intermittent power failures when the weather is very bad.

My power went off last night, and it just got back online right now.

I am just going to post a few news items right now .... regular blogging (weather and electricity permitting) will resume tomorow morning when I get up.
