Ontario’s favorite Groundhog didn’t see his shadow on Groundhog Day, meaning winter is on the way out. For years I have watched this old critter and after examining the theory behind it all….. I have to say this; The old Groundhog is at the very least as accurate as our modern day system, if not, maybe a touch more accurate. Have a great day.

Not much happening on the local home front here this morning. Stores are still saying they are very slow business wise. But….it’s that time of year and to be suspected. I always say that for anyone in business they have to expect these things living in this neck of the woods. Well guess I will head on out and put another log in the shop stove, still working on my flutes for spring. So you all have a great day and will be back here tomorrow morning.

Avoid all toothpastes made in China , especially Colgate as they contain Ethylene Glycol. This is an anti-freezing agent, highly toxic and even fatal — it destroys the liver, kidneys, lungs, blood cells, heart and the nervous system. It is also in some mouth washes, make-up, aftershaves, baby powder and wipes, shampoos, and deodorants.
Avoid Smarties – they contain almost every toxic artificial colour on the market.
To top it off Smarties are not even made of chocolate. Neither are Tim Tams. Synthetic chocolate has no nutritional value whatsoever.
Read your food labels. It may one day save your life.

I would like to mention that with the warm weather that we been having, one should be extra causes if out on the lakes with snowmobiles and things. Remember this; at least 20 centimeters of clear blue ice is required for snowmobiles. In knowing that and one takes heed of that, there should be no accidents or loss of life. Do the research and stay safe. Have a great day.
