Good Morning #Canada
Apparently the earth moved last night but I didn't feel a thing. An earthquake, a magnitude 3.7 to 4.1 depending on different reports, was reported in my neighbourhood near Orilla Ontario last night. The epicenter was across Lake Simcoe, approximately 35km away from my home and 5km deep. Maybe the lake reduced the impact and we do have a pretty good mattress.
There are 4,000 ish earthquakes measured in Canada annually but most are minor. Perhaps 40 might be large enough or not remote, and people will feel the ground shaking. That's about 1 every 8 days. Most of our earthquakes occur along the West Coast, the High Arctic, and lower frequency along the eastern seaboard. Earthquakes are monitored by the National Seismograph Network with approximately 100 seismographs distributed across Canada.
I know you're wondering about the 10 largest earthquakes ever felt in Canada. I got you covered...

Mon nouvel élément depuis un an. Un gamin d'il y a plus de quarante ans qui a paniqué un peu trop longtemps dans le grand bain serait ébahi par les progrès accomplis et se demanderait pourquoi avoir attendu si longtemps pour franchir Š nouveau les portes d'une piscine...
I'm currently serving on district grand jury. I am forbidden by oath from ever revealing any details about any case we hear. But in general, some of the hardest details to hear are of child sexual abuse of various kinds, followed by violence against women, almost always sexual.

Whoa, what has the #Kreutz comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) done now?!? Photometry from images by the outer corona observing satellite constellation PUNCH - by Thomas Lehmann; https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/message/35106 - shows a sudden increase in coma brightness ... whatever that means for the apparently quite fragile nucleus. PUNCH can follow the comet closer to the Sun than ground-based observers who will lose sight by month's end.
I'm going through some coins that my grandpa apparently collected. From what I can figure out, this is likely a copy of a 1776 "Fugio Dollar". There is a visible seam running around the edge, meaning that it was cast instead of struck. I wonder what (if anything) it is worth. The weight doesn't feel right. I'm guessing that it is made of pewter or something.

The longest State of the Union in modern history is now over.
Donald Trump held court in the House of Representatives and said little of substance,
but substance wasn’t the point.
This year, he intended to put on a show, with an array of guest stars and special appearances.
He was happy because he was playing the roles he clearly loves:
game-show host, ringmaster, emcee, beneficent granter of wishes
—and, where the Democrats were concerned, a self-righteous…

Aileen screws the public again... (Especially now that she has grounds to believe that El Cheato will appoint her to SCOTUS to replace the apparently retiring Alito.)
